The Christmas/New Year sledding week is almost over.  What a crowd of riders out there! All in all the trails have held up pretty good.  There are some trail sections that have dropped to Poor but on average still Fair Early Riding Condition.

Change of plans & grooming did happen last night & into this morning with the T-5 New Holland & the BR-180. Here are the areas that were not groomed according to what has been reported.

  • Manske Swamp area a part of Trail 3N is frozen with bumps & ungroomed in just that short section.  Could be mushy/wet.
  • 10W13N the WI River Bridge area is frozen with bumps & ungroomed at the bridge area. No reports yet of mushy/wet.
  • Trail 17S from Trail 7S to the Sugar Camp connect is not groomed. Reports of mushy/wet areas.

Catfish Lake Loop & Eagle Lake Trails are now open.  Stay by the orange reflective barrels.  There are reports of some surface slush.  So be aware.  If that is of concern there are land trails going in the same direction that you can ride.  Check your trail map.

Nice job on Doin’ The Snow Dance!  Now get out & ride!

Happy New Year & GO PACK GO!
