ALL SNOWMOBILE TRAILS GOOD

Grooming continues every night. Out east Trail 10E, 9 Mile & Chanticleer which is part of Trail 1.  North & west Trails 10W, 13N, 3N, 7 & most of 17N. Heading west & south Trails 13S to where we connect to Sugar Camp, 7 aka Paint Field that goes to the Kathan Inn turn around where Sno-Eagles connects with Sugar Camp.  Trail 3 to Three Lakes groomed.
Trails are in Good to Very Good Condition this morning at 7:15am. Temps are rising to the high 30’s so conditions will change to GOOD by the afternoon.  Trail should hold but the SNOW will be softer.
Here are a few continuing reminders on the trails:

  • Trail 1N logging operation continues in the section between the Town of Washington Town Hall & Eagle Lake.  Clearly marked with signs. Minimal grooming on this trail.
  • Wisconsin River Trail – 10W/13N  & Manske Swamp – 3N  –  10W/13N  in really good shape. Snow covered and pretty smooth.  No bumps at the approach to the bridge on 10W/13N. Both groomed last night.

CATFISH LAKE LOOP & EAGLE LAKE TRAILS ARE NOW BOTH MARKED AND OFFICIALLY OPEN.  PLEASE STAY BY THE ORANGE REFLECTIVE BARRELS TO BE SAFE.    RIDERS TELL ME NO SURFACE SLUSH AS OF LAST NIGHT.  REMINDER THE CATFISH LAKE LOOP TO LUMPY’S IS NO LONGER A TRAIL.  


If you are riding zip on over to the “grade” to check out the 2018 Eagle River Area Fire Department ICE CASTLE!!!!  Located adjacent to the downtown “grade” trail by the Historic Railroad Grade.  The lights installed change colors. Ice benches as part of the Castle let you take photos of your group.  Check out this link Eagle River Ice Castle to check out a video of the Ice Castle building.  Holding up well in the warm up.

Next on the Winter events schedule is the 13th Annual LaBatt Blue Pond Hockey set for February 9-11 on Dollar Lake east of Eagle River.  Check out the is link LaBatt Blue Pond Hockey for info.

THINK COLD & Keep Dancin’!

Plenty of new SNOW. See ya on the trails!
