Sno-Eagles
EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Remain CLOSED

Happy to report that temps have dropped and it is SNOWING this morning 6 miles east of Eagle River! Appears to be Lake Effect Snow (LES) as it does not appear on the weather service radar. Let the SNOW DANCE continue!

The Sno-Eagles work crews are out reinspecting to be sure no trees are down on trails. Today they will begin the process of running trails to enhance the freeze down of the swamps. Swamps thawed during the warm up.

Great to see COLDER weather! Waiting game until enough SNOW to open!

THINK COLD! Start DOIN’ THE SNOW DANCE!!!

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – January 1, 2024

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: 0”

Date of Report: January 1, 2024

Area Report:

Trails remain closed until we receive enough snow to pan the trails and set a base up. 

Temps have been cold the last few days to help lakes and swamps to freeze up nicely. 

Keep doing the snow dance. There are several systems moving across the US, the one we will be watching is 9-10 days out. Depending on the track and which low pressure system wins out as the stronger one, will show where the heavier precipitation goes. Some models have it going across southern Illinois, and others have it covering northern Wisconsin. Time will tell. 

Thanks to all the visitors that were in the area this holiday weekend. The local establishments appreciate all the business and support you showed.

Well, Happy New Year to all our snowmobile friends out there.  I know you guys are as anxious as we are to see some snowfall come our way.  Certainly wasn’t a white Christmas for many people this year… but we’re keeping our fingers crossed that January is going to be the month for big snow.  Wouldn’t that be the way to bring in the New Year!!  🙂

As always, we will update this report again as soon as we have some good news to share.  Wishing you all a very Safe & Happy New Year!  Hope to see you SOON!!  🙂

Don’t forget to do your snow dance!!  😉

Sno-Eagles
EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Remain CLOSED

Sno-Eagles trails remain CLOSED due to no snow.  Temps have been bouncing up & down. Any SNOW that was on the ground is gone.  Looks like temps will be dropping starting January 3rd. Mid 20’s during the day & low teens at night.  THINK COLD!   START SNOW DANCIN’

Sno-Eagles trails are inspected & go to go.  The trail teams are going out off & on to be sure no tress come down.  There has been a lot of internet fiber optic lines work & the Club is checking signing as well.

There have been re routes and closures of trails. When trails are ready to open I will list the changes.

Until then let’s all first THINK MORE COLD!  Then a SNOW DANCE will be in order.
