The “big storm” is here and dropped a couple inches over night. Not enough to open at this time. We will see what we get in the next 24 hours. Just a reminder, we open as a county, so that means the other 9 clubs in the county have to be ready also.

VILAS COUNTY SNOWMOBILE TRAILS TO INCLUDE SNO-EAGLES TRAILS REMAIN CLOSED

December 27, 2018 8:40am – 32 degrees- Light snow

About 2 inches of SNOW over night.  Currently the SNOW that had stopped has started again.  Really light SNOW right now & expected through 5pm tonight.  Another 2-4 inches is forecast by the weather guys.

After 5pm it looks like the SNOW will turn to rain.  Temps are set to rise just enough to cause the change to rain.  So……you know what that means.  START THINKING COLD so we can keep the temps at 32 to even lower.

Early tomorrow morning weather guys forecasting a turn back to SNOW around 2am until 5am.  No totals yet for that potential SNOW.

Trails in Sno-Eagles Country & ALL of VILAS COUNTY REMAIN CLOSED.  Even with the new SNOW just not enough on the trails to open.

The Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance met December 19th in Lac du Flambeau. The vote on trail opening was for the trails to remain closed. There just isn’t enough snow at this point.

Everything hangs on early evening today.  If the drop just a bit lower it could be all SNOW.  But at this point doesn’t look like it.  So…..THINK COLD & keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!!!

Check out the phone updates at 715.479.5185 after 5pm for a new report of conditions.

Boy oh boy getting hard to wait to go riding! Hope to see you on the trails soon!

Trail Report – : Bayfield County, Wisconsin – December 26, 2018

Reporter:BayfieldCounty

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 0-2 inches

Date of Report: December 26, 2018

Area Report:

Trails throughout Bayfield County are in highly variable condition and not currently rideable. Most of the early snow we received has melted, and warm temperatures are causing swamps to freeze slowly. We do have a significant snow storm in the forecast and we hope it will bring us enough snow to groom! We will try to post a trail update this weekend or early next week after our clubs get the chance to see how much snow the storm brought. Stay tuned!

Trail Report – : Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin – December 21, 2018

Reporter:Manitowish Waters Chamber

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 4-8 inches

Date of Report: December 21, 2018

Area Report:

THE VILAS COUNTY SNOWMOBILE TRAIL SYSTEM WILL REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
The Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance met on 12/19/2018. There was a unanimous decision to keep the area snowmobile trails closed and not project a possible opening date. The extended forecast does not call for enough snow to create an adequate base and we are seeing some of the low areas starting to thaw. We will make an announcement at such time that trails can safely open.

News and Reports:

A big thank you to the Manitowish Waters Chamber for mailing maps out for us and their help in reporting trail conditions.  Also a  huge thank you to the groomer operators who volunteer their time to make our trails the best they can be!

Snowmobile Information:

The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters snowmobile club was founded in 1968 and is one of the oldest snowmobile clubs in existence today in Wisconsin. Located in the very northwest corner of Vilas county, Manitowish Waters borders the Lake Superior snow-belt country. With average snowfalls of 150 inches and over 25 miles of professionally groomed trails, the area is one of Vilas County’s top winter vacation areas.Manitowish Waters , Wisconsin - Snowmobiling Conditions & News

The Manitowish Waters trail system is a unique hub network directly linking into 5 other trail systems. With Minocqua/Woodruff to our south, St. Germain/Eagle River to our southeast, Lake Gogebic to our north, Presque Isle/Winchester to our northeast, Mercer and Hurley to our northwest and Lac du Flambeau/Price County to our west, our area residents and guests can choose from a variety of daily or overnight destinations for scenic riding with excellent pit stops along the way.

The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters maintain an active grooming schedule for the area’s trail system. Coordinated efforts with the surrounding communities provide continuous smoothly-groomed trails in this northwest sector. The Sno-Skeeters own and operate some of the newest grooming equipment on the market today. Support the club by attending their special events or contributing to the “trail pigs” at local establishments along the trails. Or show your support by becoming a member!

Enjoy, and please ride responsibly and safely!
