6 inches news SNOW! Puts the total to about 10 inches of SNOW total. And Lake Effect SNOW this morning 6 miles east of Eagle River!
The COLD will continue until tomorrow, when temps will pop up on Saturday, Sunday & Monday. With some more SNOW mixed in starting Sunday. No totals to report. You all may now DO THE SNOW DANCE!
The 9 day Deer Gun Season ended. With 10 day muzzleloader season in full swing until December 10. Followed by a 4 day youth hunt. So the earliest trails can open is December 16. Parks & Rec Supervisor is doing trail inspections every day this week. Hopes to get all down ahead so when the hunts are done all is good to go.
Sno-Eagles are using the roller to help drive the frost down. Then panning the trails to start to build the hard ice base. There is a re-route of the Trail 3 aka Manske Swamp that is still being worked on. When all done I will post a map with the trail updates. Trail 17 aka Hiawatha Trail has be rehab-ed. No more going in that wet mushy section just before Kick Back & Hiawatha motel. Alt Trail 13 that heads south to Three Lakes remain CLOSED.

Eagle River has long held the distinction of SNOWMOBILE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, and it’s a matter of pride that causes local clubs and businesses to work so diligently to maintain that title. Snowmobile fever becomes a way of life in our Eagle River winters, and the talk often turns to “picks”, “carbides” and performance. In fact, these snow machines seem to outnumber cars during the winter months.
Over 500 MILES OF GROOMED TRAILS connect the communities of the area, including access to major county and state routes. Trails wind throughout the area’s scenic forests, but frequently pass close to service businesses which can provide you with fuel and sustenance, shelter and refreshment. If you don’t have your own snowmobile, several dealerships will be happy to provide you with equipment during your visit.
