SNOWMOBILE TRAILS IN EAGLE RIVER
For the most part Fair due to some icy conditions

     

These photos show trail conditions yesterday afternoon after the sun was out all day. First 2 are trail Atl13/3S.  The far right one is the entrance/exit of trail 70W at the Sundstein Rd crossing at the Lincoln Town Hall.  Trails in pretty good shape

High of 19 today with 9 below tonight plus CLOUDY.  Yesterday the evil sun was out most of the day.  What it did was soften up the rock hard trails by mid day. Meaning loose SNOW on the trail to help with lubrication & making it a little less icy & a bit safer riding.  But please slow down as there still are icy stretches.

All in all trails are in pretty good shape especially in the woods under cover.  They are also icier in the woods because the sun did not get to them & soften them up.  So slow down. Otherwise everything is pretty much SNOW covered.  Some corners have blow outs with hard ice in them.  Other corners in the bright sun have burn out.  The steady sunshine on the snow does that. Roads have hard shiny ice with some bare. Crossings have frozen puddles in the morning & water by the afternoon.

More riding today with more to update tomorrow.

Groomer Tracking Systems reports a big night of grooming. Here are the few trails not groomed in the last 24 hours:

  • GranpaGram aka 1 not groomed

THINK COLD & KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!!  P.S. No evil sun either!!

Be safe.  See you on the trails!
