OPEN – EARLY SEASON RIDING with Fair to Poor conditions
The late December thaw continues. 41 today & 9 degree tonight which is great for a nighttime temp. 30’s during the day until January 4. 20’s at night. Next SNOW is forecast at night on January 3. All according to the weather guys. THINK COLD & then START DOIN’ A SNOW DANCE!
As for trails with the warm up most all trails are degrading. North trails better than south trails. Soft & even mushy areas. Yesterday for the most part trails did have snow cover on 10E, grade into town & through town. 10W/13 crossing the Wisconsin Bridge is still frozen but approaches have soft snow. West side has snirt. Heading north on what I call the Bauers trail, which is trail 13 on the map are snow cover but there is breakdown in the open areas & some blow out in the corners. Trail 10E after the one way goes back to a 2 way trail, near the gas station has blow out in the corners. Northeast toward Phelps is better as there is woods riding. Along side the roads burning through & mushy. Heading south on Alt 13 toward Three Lakes very soft & mushy. Trails need new snow & cold to improve.
Groomers were out last night with just 3 sections not groomed. They are:
- Trail 1S that heads toward Eagle Lake
- Grampa Grahm trail that spurs off of 10E by the Off the Chain Restaurant & head toward Eagle Lake from the southeast
- Trail 10W/7 which heads toward Sayner. It spurs off of Trails 10W/13N after you cross Wisconsin River & head southwest.
NOTE – DEERVIEW LANE SECTION OF TRAIL 1N THAT HEADS TO EAGLE LAKE HAS HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC. Slow down & be aware.
Eagle & Catfish Lake trails are open & marked. Take it slow. Hard ice & surface slush. Very skatey. Stay by the orange reflective barrels to be safe.
Some reminders when you ride. Please no off trail riding & stop at driveways. Also as you ride you might 
meet a groomer. They are big & can’t pull over for us. So pull over & let the driver direct you. And oh ya give ’em a thumbs up. They groom so we can ride!!!
Are you Dancin?!?
See ya on the trails real soon!!
