January 26, 2022 – 7:23 am 22 below zero – High of 8 today
Somebody left the freezer door open again! 22 below this morning So if you’re riding dress warm. Included sub zero rated boots & gloves. Fully charged phone in an inside pocket. Take the charger along. Stop more often. Warm non alcohol drinks. Tell someone where you plan to ride.
Plans of riding today are scrapped. Did talk to riders & checked trails, yes by car. Hard base is icy in spots especially corners & open areas. Snow on top is crunchy so it’s fast (slippery). Recommend slowing down. Trails on northside of roads like 10E one way heading toward Eagle River & 17N north along Hwy 45N & 70W along Hwy 70E have areas of just forming snirt. Too much sun causing that. Especially under the big pines. Most roads are ice covered. All the riders told riding was pretty GOOD just we need new SNOW. Traffic has slowed down but remember to Ride Right to be safe especially in the corners.
The Groomer Tracking System AP (GTS) shows NO grooming Eagle River last night.
Catfish & Eagle lake trails marked & OPEN. To be safe stay by the orange reflective barrels. DO NOT think the entire lake is safe. There have been several sleds going into the water this winter. ALL were no where near a trail or the barrels.
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
Please KEEP DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE! Need fresh SNOW
See ya on the trails!!
