Caution: Please be careful when traveling on area lakes as there are plowed roads on some lakes that are hard to see. Eagle Lake has a plowed road that crosses the marked trail twice. Take it easy until you are familiar with a lake.
Monday, December 31, 2018 – Well we are still in luck we got another inch or two of snow last night and they are calling for more. But this looks like it will come with cold and high winds so we will see how it plays out.
We are doing a full week of grooming this week so the trails will be already for next weekend. Looks like to will be nice weather so get out and enjoy the trails!!
I went out yesterday and put on about 60 miles with my son and trails were pretty good and snow depth was decent. After this week of grooming we should be in good shape.
I ran into quite a few snowmobilers out on the trail which was great to see!!
Dec 29 – All Trails at Soaring Eagle are groomed and tracked. Conditions are great.
