Hard to believe Doug, Bill,Joe and I put on 450 plus excellent miles Thur and Fri ( mostly MI) and today the trails in Vilas County closed and now it is snowing. What a weird year. If you wanna ride now it is way up north.
News and Reports:
Thanks everyone for visiting and we look forward to SNOW!
Trail Conditions: Fair
Snow Cover: 24″ and up
Date of Report: March 7, 2017
Area Report:
All trails in the Keweenaw to Twin Lakes are open and you can ride. Trail 17 going thru downtown Hancock is not being groomed because of the low snow, but grooming starts right outside of town. Trail 3 is not being groomed through Houghton and up heading to South Range because of low snow. Once you get going towards South Range, grooming starts again. We got a quick flurry of snow a little while ago that stuck to the ground. Temps are dropping for the rest of the week and snow is forecasted a bit each day. You never know tho, with the wind coming across Lake Superior. That lake effect is hard to forecast! The temp this morning at 6 am was 50 and now at 11:30 am its 27! Groomers will be out every day as needed since temps will be plenty low enough. Trails are hard, icy but definitely can ride. Even just a few inches of snow would make the trails a lot better. As I type this, a group of 8 sleds just went by!
Trail 122 between Lake Linden and Gay is closed due to logging. You can take the trail as far as the Dreamland trail, but no farther. Trail 133 between Gay and Lac Labelle is rough, but open.
Respect others on the trail and private property while out riding, keep that speed down, stay on the marked, groomed trails, and save the drinking for after the riding!!
Happy Trails from the Trail Goddess!

OFFICIALLY CLOSE EFFECTIVE 7:00 A.M. MARCH 7TH, 2017.
Conditions have continued to deteriorate and most trails have become
unrideable. The high winds this morning have likely resulted in trees down
across trails creating safety hazards.
Thank you for a great season!

Vilas County Trails are officially closed as of 7am today – Tuesday March 7th, 20107
From Dale Mayo:
“””Due to rapidly deteriorating trail conditions and high winds this morning, the funded snowmobile trail system
in Vilas County will officially close at 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 7 March 2017.”””
The trails could potentially reopen if conditions permit – but – the way it looks right now – this happening is highly unlikely. We have trees down on the system from last nights storm and continuing high winds. Reopening would also take a significant snowfall and then an inspection of each club’s system by that club and then the President of that club would need to sign off that his or her system is safe and ready to go. Trails could be open until March 31st at midnight – conditions permitting.

Still a few days remaining!

Area Report:
All Vilas County snowmobile trails are closed effective today. Truthfully, they were not ride able and should have been closed sooner.
After a promising December and early January, we were subject to 2 bad melt downs that turned the 2016-2017 winter into the winter that wasn’t. Best we can hope for is an early spring so we can donate our blood to the ticks & mosquitos. Watch for news and updates here in the fall.
Thanks to all the land owners and volunteers that make our trails possible.

The Clubs of the Vilas County Alliance voted here is the official announcement from the Vilas County Parks & Recreation Administrator.
Sno-Eagles would like to Thank the business and landowners who have given continued support to the Sno-Eagles and the sport of snowmobiling in the Eagle River area. Sno-Eagles Snowmobile Club would also like to thank many of the dedicated volunteers who continue to make the best possible trails and conditions for our many residents & guests to enjoy.
Without volunteer club members, business support and wonderful land owners there would be no snowmobile trail system in Eagle River or Vilas County.
Hope you rode it when we had it. See you on the trails next season!
