SNOWMOBILE TRAILS IN EAGLE RIVER
Varying conditions
Plenty of SNOW on the the trails & cold temps overnight. Great combination to get the trails back in shape after a very busy weekend. It’s 16 degrees right now with a high of 24 today & 12 tonight. Low nighttime temps for the next few days. And no evil sun.
The weather guys show a slight chance of SNOW flurries off & on this week. Next change of SNOW is next Monday. Stay tuned.
Groomer Tracking System shows nearly all trails were groomed west & north in the last 24. Below are the trails NOT groomed over night:
- Trails heading east including 10E, Chanticleer Inn, GrampGrahm, 9MI
- Trail 1 from Eagle Lake boat launch to the 17N & 1 intersection
- Trail 1 to Columbus Rd
- Small section of 17N that connects to 1- did groom 17N to Manske Swamp aka 3N intersection
- Uncle Kent trail
- Some section of 13N heading to Bauer’s Dam turn around
Catfish & Eagle Lake trails are marked. Please stay by the orange reflective barrels.
Caution Areas
Not much change & in general found trails sections especially in swamps have rough areas. Covered with plenty of snow but the bumps have set in the base & it is hard to correct.
- Manske Swamp has open spots
- Sections on 13N beyond Hwy G rough
- Loon Lk Rd to Bloom Rd section of 10E rough
- section of 17N from trail 1 to Columbus Rd rough
- 70W section from Sundstein Rd running past the Lincoln Townhall heading west to Synergy rough sections
- 17S from Paintball field to Sugar Camp connect.
Did notice some breakdown of the base at road crossings.
So here’s what you need to do…..KEEP THINKING COLD can use it & DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!
See you on the trails!
