Trails Good to Fair Condition

Snow started late yesterday afternoon with fine heavy at times wet snow.  Too wet so it took time for it to accumulate. All said & done only about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches of SNOW total. So yes it time to DO THE SNOW DANCE! Pushing the SNOW up north. Weather guys forecast a little more SNOW on Wednesday.

Trail Boss reports no grooming last night.  Groomers out again tonight.  Trails have a hard base with loose SNOW on top.  Traffic yesterday was very low.  Trail are in Good to Fair Condition.  In town snirt at the crossing.  This is caused by the sand & salt put on the roads being dragged onto the trails. 

Not seeing much in the line of problem areas other than it is icy under the new SNOW so you might notice sled slipping or “squirrelly” as you ride.  Even on the straight aways.

Catfish Lake Loop & Eagle Lake Trail are OPEN & safe by the orange reflective barrels.  No surface slush.

***ALERT***
The WI River Bridge portion of Trails 10W/13N is CLOSED. Due to high water from the dam.  It is FENCED/GATED.  DO NOT GO AROUND THE BARRIERS.
Extreme Danger beyond the barriers.

Time to start Doin’ The Snow Dance!

Groomer Show in St. Germain on Wednesday, February 1.

See Ya On The Trails!
