Sno-Eagles
EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Closed
Still SNOW on the ground 6 miles east of Eagle River. It is icy with a thin covering. 4 at most. Earlier this morning there was some LEF SNOW. About an inch. Tomorrow, Thursday 4+ inches of real SNOW. Stay tuned. With all that said need you to START DOIN A SNOW DANCE! Need way more SNOW to be able to open the trails.
The Vilas County Parks & Rec Supervisor has been out last week & this week inspecting all 11 clubs trails. Will complete on December 19th. Then it’s a waiting game for more SNOW to open. Monthly Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance meeting tonight in Boulder Jct.
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!!
