 Trails are in on average Poor to Fair Early Riding Condition
About 1 inch of new SNOW overnight with light SNOW this morning

SNOW will continue through the day with 1-2 more inches forecast.

There is now a thin new SNOW covering the trails. Trails are still in  Early Riding Condition with conditions at Fair to Poor. The new SNOW covers hard frozen ground covered with an ice base in most areas. Crusty frozen snow. Lots of snirt. Choppy conditions. The ROW trails have a bit more snow but everywhere there is plenty of snirt & dirt. Especially at road crossings. 

Did see a groomer in Eagle River early evening last night.  It did not show up on the Groomer Tracking System(GTS).  Possible out doing the required weekly inspection.

Catfish & Eagle have been marked by businesses on the lake. This includes the spur to Eagle Waters. Stay by the markers to be safe.  All are SNOW covered with surface slush reported on both lakes. This happens when temps pop up hard ice underneath.                                         

World Championship Derby weekend starts today!

KEEP THINKING COLD & DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!
