Slowly but surely the base in Washburn County is beginning to build with a little bit of snow here and there. Hopefully the flakes will start to fall again soon so the trail base can get up to grooming standards. We look forward to another great winter of snowmobiling in Washburn County! Keep thinking snow!

VILAS COUNTY SNOWMOBILE TRAILS TO INCLUDE SNO-EAGLES TRAILS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED
December 7, 2018 – 7am
Chilly Friday morning. 0 at 7am with a high today of 16. Great for freezing things down.
Sno-Eagles Trails have been inspected & are ready to go. There are still several snowmobile clubs for the Vilas County Parks & Rec department to inspect.
All 11 Clubs in Vilas County & part of the Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance will meet to determine an opening date shortly.
Until then the groomers in Sno-Eagles Country have been out panning the trails. We could use more SNOW but the good news is that the swamps & wet mushy areas have frozen up.
It’s a waiting game at this point. Keep DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE & THINKING COLD!
See ya out on the trails real soon!

News and Reports:
If your heading to mercer with a TRAILER going west on county ff avoid cut off road
they have added a three way stop and a guard rail that makes it difficult to turn
Snow has arrived early this year! So this is encouraging news for area clubs!!
Please remember you cannot ride until the trails are officially open!
All clubs rely on the generosity of our landowners, who graciously allow us to cross their property. Many of these landowners hunt the muzzle loader season (which follows the rifle season)
Disturbing hunters and riding before the opening date puts our trail system in jeopardy!!
Stay tuned for trail updates and I will keep you posted on a tentative opening date. Vilas county has 11 snowmobile clubs and every mile of every trail needs to be inspected before we can open together. We are hopeful for more cold to firm up swamp sections.

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.
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!

THEY OPEN THE TRAILS TOMORROW, ???? MOST TRAILS ARE NOT RIDEABLE. STAY OFF ALL LAKES.
THE FLOWAGE HAS 10 INCHES TO OPEN WATER IF YOU RIDE WEAR A METAL TOE TAG THAT THE TURTLES CAN’T BITE OFF have fun and be safe
Trails will open as of December 10, 2018. However, snow is not in the forecast, and without snow the trails will not be usable by snowmobilers. The Flambeau Trail System and the Georgetown Trail are open to ATV and UTV riders. Early season snowmobile riders may find gates closed, trees down and open water at swamps. VOLUNTEER club members will work to get gates open, swamps packed, and trails prepared as quickly as possible following the December 6-9, 2018 anterless deer hunt. Think snow!
