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!! 😉

Area Report:
Merry Christmas. Sorry to say that there is no snow on the ground and as of now nothing in the forecast. Lakes are bare of snow and thickness may be changing daily. None of the lakes in the Phelps area have been marked. Please check back soon as it only takes one good storm to turn things around. Please visit the Phelps area, there is more to us than just snowmobiling.
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the state
No matter where I looked, not a flake could I locate;
The sleds were all loaded, and gear all packed up
In hopes of heading North in our pick-up Truck;
Everyone was all nestled all snug in their beds
With visions of riding groomed trails danced in their heads;
When out on the lawn there rose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew to see what was going on,
Only to see our front yard looking like a pond.
A moonless night had turned to rain,
Washing our wishes down the drain;
But what to my wondering eyes should appear,
A beautiful sled loaded with riding gear,
With a little old driver so lively and quick,
even with his helmet on, it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his riding group came,
And shouted out and called them by name.
Now Polaris, now Yamaha, and now Ski-Doo;
On Lynx, on Artic Cat, boy what a crew,
And then what I heard on the roof, the revving and stopping of sleds just like hoof’s.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney he came with a bound.
He was dressed in all Gore-Tex from his head to his foot,
With the smell of a two-stroke oil and soot.
An array of accessories he had in his sack,
Wonderful items he unpacked.
Helmet, boots, mirrors and gloves,
All things sled heads really love.
He spoke not a word and went straight to his work,
Left loads of gifts and with a jerk;
And laying his finger aside his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He cinched up his helmet and turned to his crew,
Started their sleds and away they flew.
But I heard him exclaim as they rode out of site, “May 2024 bring you snow, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.”

EAGLE RIVER TRAILS
Remain CLOSED
Sno-Eagles trails remain CLOSED due to no snow. Temps have been bouncing up & down. Currently it has been too warm to maintain much if any SNOW. What was on the ground has melted. With rain for Christmas looking pretty bleak for any opening in December. There is SNOW in the forecast December 27 & 28. Inch or 2 in the forecast. After that the temps will drop to more normal with 20’s during the day & 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.

Until then let’s all first THINK MORE COLD! Then a SNOW DANCE will be in order. Right now there is 2 inches of SNOW on the ground with frost building in the ground. Need the frost to be deeper & lots more SNOW.
