SNO-EAGLES Last day of February & we are still riding. Yesterday it was warm & evil sun was out most of the day. Took a toll on open areas, trails on north & west side of roads. We are riding today. Will head east on Trail 10E as the south side is SNOW covered. Expecting Adventure Sledding today. Full report either later tonight or early tomorrow morning. This IS the weekend to ride even if not perfect. If you ride pick woods trails. Expect ice everywhere as it went from high 40’s yesterday to single digit overnight. Mid March brings higher day time temps. So…….this is the weekend to ride! Here’s a screen shot from GTS – Groomer Tracking System of last nights grooming. Right click on it for a bigger picture. Trail 10E to Three Lakes connect; Trail 70W to St. Germain connect; Trail 17/7 off Trail 70W to Sugar Camp connects (7 to Hwy D & 17S to connect along Hwy 17S); Trails 10W/13N through town heading north; WI River Bridge section of 10W/13N & 10W/7 to Sayner & St. Germain.
Lots of grooming with the drivers going out later waiting for the temps to drop. Again, expect icy conditions. No higher than 20 today. Same tomorrow with below zero tomorrow night. Daily Reminders: Reminder that Trail 13S does not run all the way to Three Lakes as a portion was closed. The Club is working on a reroute. Use Trail 10E or Trail 17S to get to Three Lakes. Eagle Lake was marked by businesses. There are 3 color safety lights at entrance & exit from/to the lake trail. Expect frozen surface slush. CATFISH LAKE TRL NOT MARKED THIS SEASON. Do not recommend riding at night as there are areas that are thin or not frozen.
