Date of Report: February 18, 2021
Area Report:

February 17 – 7:22am Currently 5 – High of 21 today
Low tonight of 1
Trails remain in GOOD to VERY GOOD Condition
GTS Trails app shows groomers out in the last 24 hours

Trail Groomers were out again last night.  ALL trails were groomed except a section of Trail 17N that runs along side Hwy 45N on the west side
& 10E to include all spurs

Best way to learn the trails is to buy a Sno-Eagles trail map. It also had the entire Vilas county trails on the backside.  Plus download the GTS trails app  It is available at the App Store.

Trails are pretty much in the same condition due to the cold temps at night.  Did not see any deterioration with the sun out for longer periods as it was yesterday. The sun will cause icy areas to pop up.  It is cold enough at night to keep trails in good shape.  Not a lot to report except there is a lot of traffic on the trails.  Many large groups out riding.  So as you riding be sure to Ride Right – Stay Right.  There is a chance of light SNOW off & on this week.  The best chance is Sunday with a 40% chance.  No firm totals at this point.

Please stay on the trails to keep them trails open.  Lots of off trail riding is causing a lot of problems.  Trails will close if riders keep this up.  Done preaching.

Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked with orange reflective barrels.  Please stay by the barrels to be safe. Both are still bumpy so might want to slow down. The lakes are marked by the businesses on the lake so stop in & thank them when you’re out riding.

SEE YA ON THE TRAILS!
