January 15, 2022 – 8:00 am 7 below zero – High of 16 today
COLD this morning. Not much change in the report. Sort of good news is there is some SNOW forecast tomorrow. Only about an inch. The next chance of SNOW is Tuesday. Weather guys forecasting 2+. Really need a loud SNOW DANCE!
As I’ve been reporting for a while now there is a base of 7 inches +- that is frozen hard & holding. There is loose hard SNOW in most areas but crunchy with not much moisture. SNOW depth is about 14 inches total There a few icy corners. Not as many as I expected. All in all trails are Fair with many Good areas. Was happy to see trails are SNOW covered with the exception of some of the approaches to crossing. Even through town was Fair. But we really need more FRESH SNOW.
The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows even with sub zero temps, almost all trails were groomed last night. Here are the 3 area trails sections NOT groomed. Pick up a map to see exact locations
- 10E that head east & all spurs which is off the Alt13 “the grade” crossing Loon Lakes Rd. This just south of Eagle River.
- 10W/13N heading north out of Eagle River. From the Hwy G road crossing to Adams Rd.
- Trail 1 that from the Eagle Lake trail boat launch to to where it comes out on Hunter Lane. This is northeast of Eagle River
Catfish & Eagle lake trails were marked & are NOW OPEN. To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels. Note the spur from the northside Eagle Lake boat launch that leads to Eagle Waters is NOT OPEN at this time. Work in progress. Stay tuned.
There is a re route on 10/13/7/17 heading west. Did stump grinding to help smooth out the area. New SNOW has helped that area a lot.
Sure would like trail photos so I can post to the report to let other riders see the real time conditions. Send them to info@baysidelodgingrentals.com
We sure could use some fresh new SNOW. KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!
See ya on the trails!!
