SNO-EAGLES Happy to report it is SNOWING 6 miles east of Eagle River & windy! Sleet early. Now all SNOW. Guessing will get about 3 inches of SNOW. More SNOW Thursday night & Friday. Looks to be a couple of inches. Temps dropping into 20’s this weekend. Another SNOW system next week. Sno-Eagles groomers is experiencing an issue with GTS grooming reporting. So be aware that if you are using the APP to know what was groomed it may/will not be accurate. Sno-Eagles was out panning 2/16 prepping for the SNOW. Panned the northern trails Trail 10W/13N – The Wisconsin River Bridge area has water on top of the ice so if you ride it will be slippery. Slow down. Trail 3N Trail 17N (heads to Phelps) Trail 1 (heads to Eagle Lake) Trails 70W, 10E, 17S icy & have icy hills with some bare spots. They will be panned/groomed after new SNOW if enough accumulation ************************************
Daily Reminders:
Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed. The Club is working on a reroute. Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. There are 3 color safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail. There are mogul drifts along the barrels so recommend slowing down. Lots of SNOW mist so leave space between you & rider in front. With sun expect surface slush STAY BY THE BARRELS TO BE SAFE
Catfish Lake is NOT MARKED. Uncertain it will open as there are no businesses open on the lake this winter. If you have not ridden the lake in the past DO NOT ATTEMPT at night. There are spots that can be thin or even open water. NO safety lights Time to THINK COLD & do a SNOW DANCE! |
