Here’s your Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Trails Report for January 16: Trail conditions as of Wednesday were challenging but warmer temps will hopefully improve the situation. Groomers are planning to focus on the Icykel Fatbike Race Course on Thursday and Friday. At this point bike traffic is also going to help pack the snow leading into the weekend. We are going to let bikes ride on the fresh groom on Thursday to see if it helps except for the adaptive trails at Sagamore which were just groomed by the DNR. Sagamore adaptive trails are closed overnight and will reopen Friday morning. Studded tires advised for all trails until we see if the snow adheres to the icy base. Low tire pressure please! The 5.5” of snow we received last weekend was so dry and fluffy that grooming efforts were almost futile. Then the cold set in for a few days and the snow has compacted to about 3.5”. Warmer weather on Wednesday-Friday will draw moisture into the snow and help it pack and adhere to the trail. We’ll certainly do our best to make the most of it!
