EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Closed

Still SNOW on the ground 6 miles east of Eagle River. The Thursday into Friday snowfall brought 3-4 inches of wet SNOW 6 miles East of Eagle River. Added to what was on the ground. With all that said need you to START DOIN A SNOW DANCE! Need way more SNOW to be able to open the trails.

Temps will be COLD for the next couple days with single digits at night. SNOW Sunday night into Monday morning. Then temps will move up.

The Vilas County Parks & Rec Supervisor has been out last week & this week inspecting all 11 clubs trails. All inspections are complete & the trails are good to go. Waiting for more SNOW to open.

Sno-Eagles are using the roller & Argo to help drive the frost down & have been panning to build a hard icy frozen base. As I have been reporting 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 remains CLOSED. Trail 17S that connects with the Sugar Camp trails remains the same but there is a short re route where Eagle River Sno-Eagles connect. Another landowner closure. Map of that to follow too.

If you haven’t already, it’s time to renew your membership and purchase your discounted Trail Pass from the AWSC. Sno-Eagles AWSC Click on these links to do both

Keep THINKIN’ COLD! A loud SNOW DANCE IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER!!

Trail Report – : Mercer Sno-Goers, Wisconsin – December 20, 2024

Reporter:Snogoer1

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 0-3 inches

Date of Report: December 20, 2024

Area Report:

We received 3-5 inches of snow yesterday and today. The snow was light and although it brightened up our trails it didn’t do much to add to our base. We still need heavy snow to build up our base to sustain the traffic we see on our trails up here. We are continuing packing swamps and trails to be ready for that one big storm we need to open. Keep the snow dances going and hope for cold weather. Although the weather doesn’t look good over Christmas, there is lots of hope in the forecast after the first of the year. Please don’t be too alarmed, we are all extremely skeptical after last year but it’s not uncommon for us to open after the new year.

Trail Report – : Land O’ Lakes, Wisconsin – December 20, 2024

Reporter:Phil

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: White

Date of Report: December 20, 2024

Area Report:

The Frosty Club area in Land O Lakes looks like winter, feels like winter, and is covered in white gold. The lakes are frozen with 8-10 inches of solid ice and the swamps are froze. The trails have been rolled and panned and have an excellent base. We just need some more snow on top and a better after Christmas weather forecast. Hopefully the upper 30’s do not happen and we will be open sooner than later. There is good riding in the UP. Soon here as well we hope.

We’ve had two days of scattered snow showers bringing in about 6-8” on the North Shore of Lake Gogebic. Teens and single digits will be prevalent throughout the weekend and all trails in the Lake Gogebic Area have been groomed as of Friday Morning. Early conditions exist so ride with caution, watch out for each other and have fun.

Here’s our report from the Gogebic Area Groomers:

Trail Update:

Trail 1N: Good

Trail 1S: Trail 1S from Ethelwood to Presque Isle has been groomed and is in good shape. There is a section of water spots that are shallow and more of a nuisance than anything – use caution.

Trail 13 N Good

Trail 13S Working on – will update. 13 South to Trail 2 is closed for logging.

Trail 102 Good

Trail 8 West still has water spots but you are able to get around them. (Use caution)

Trail 100 to the bottom of the lake is in fair to poor condition.

GROOMER FUNDRAISER: Don’t forget about the Gogebic Area Grooming Holiday Movie Trivia fundraiser this Saturday Night at AJ’s starting at 7! Your hosts Josh and Sarah Ramsey will be your holiday hosts this evening! Come out for good fun, food and show your support for our Gogebic Area Groomers!

Waiting on snow. That seems to be the statement of most snowmobile clubs right now. Good news is we are under a Winter Storm Advisory today! Keep your snow dances going in hopes we get the high-end projections of this storm. Meanwhile we have been packing swamps to get more frost and prepare them to groom when we do receive snow.

Trail Report – : Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan – December 19, 2024

Reporter:SaultSteMarie

Trail Conditions: Early Season

Snow Cover: 12″

Date of Report: December 19, 2024

Area Report:

No groomers rolling yet. We didn’t get much new snow, so there’s not a lot we can do with the trails. It appears we held on to the base, so that’s awesome! Ice scratchers may be needed with the hard packed trail surface.
Also an important trail update: Trail #472 has a signage change.
There is currently a snow and ice pile in the middle of the trail, but will be removed by our groomer as soon as we can get out there.
