Area Report:
We received 6 to 7 inches of new heavy, wet snow yesterday! All three groomers are out there. It may take two or three groomings to get set up well. I will rate the trail as GOOD. However, some areas are VERY GOOD! Hoping that warm weather predicted stays away.

Trail Conditions: Excellent
Snow Cover: 7-9″ fresh powder
Date of Report: January 23, 2018
Area Report:
We received a good dumping of approximately 7″ of fresh powder. This is great news for the trail system. The groomers were already out on Monday night, working the trails. They are doing double runs today, and should have the entire trail system in perfect shape by Wednesday morning.
The trails should be awesome in the next few days.
Please stay on the marked trails. It can be very tempting to go off trail and hit the fresh powder, but the ramifications could be severe. We need to keep our landowners happy. Stay on the trails.
This is the time to get out and ride.
Please join a local club. It takes many hours of volunteer time to keep the trails system up and running. The clubs can use all of the support.

Trail Conditions: Good
Snow Cover: Hard base. New snow of about 6-9. More north
Date of Report: January 23, 2018
Area Report:
SNOW starting right after lunch yesterday and continued into last night. This morning it looks like on average about 7 inches of wet packy SNOW east of Eagle River with reports of 9 inches north of Eagle River.
Groomers left in the SNOW last night so have to think trails groomed are really smooth this morning! Trails were groomed west & north. Grooming equipment is not designed to go off trail so stop when you meet the groomers & pull over. Let them go by. Make sure to give them a thumbs up. As riders if we go in & get stuck the groomers can pull us out. Not the same if we had to try to pull them out.
The new SNOW is going to upgrade the trails. For now rating them GOOD until I get out to see them. Will update later today with more info.
Here are a few continuing reminders:
If you are riding zip on over to the “grade” to check out the 2018 Eagle River Area Fire Department ICE CASTLE!!!! Located adjacent to the downtown “grade” trail by the Historic Railroad Grade. The lights installed change colors. Ice benches as part of the Castle let you take photos of your group. Check out this link Eagle River Ice Castle to check out a video of the Ice Castle building. Holding up well in the warm up.
Next on the Winter events schedule is the 13th Annual LaBatt Blue Pond Hockey set for February 9-11 on Dollar Lake east of Eagle River. Check out the is link LaBatt Blue Pond Hockey for info.
THINK COLD & Keep Dancin’!
Plenty of new SNOW. See ya on the trails!

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!
Enjoy, and please ride responsibly and safely!
