Very Good to Excellent
Frozen Icy Base – With plenty SNOW
As you ride should you come across any issues pleased call Dan at 262.951.6519.
Eagle River & Vilas county remain in the freezer. Single digits during the day & below zero at night until Saturday. Then temps will be in the 20’s during the day!!! Great riding weather!
As to SNOW nothing much in the forecast until the end of the 1st week in February. So as I have been saying the trails have plenty of SNOW but it is hard, crusty & fast/slippery.
If you ride during the cold snap be sure to tell someone where you are riding; don’t ride alone; fully charged phone; dress in layers; tell someone where you are headed; stop more often to warm up & drink warm drinks, refrain from drinking alcohol. Heated gloves, socks & vests or jackets under your snowmobile jacket would good too. Last BE SURE YOUR SLED GAS TANK IS FULL to prevent frosting in the tank.
Last night Sno-Eagles grooming everything except the spur off of 10/7 that comes out on Hwy G & it looks like a section of 10/13 in the Adams Rd area & the local section of Alt 13 that used to go to Three Lakes.
Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed. Club is working on a re route.
Catfish Lake is NOT MARKED. Uncertain it will open as there are no businesses open on the lake this winter. If you have not ridden the lake in the past DO NOT ATTEMPT at night. There are spots that can be thin or even open water.
