Area Report:

First Report of the 2021-2022 Season!
2 days of SNOW in Vilas County! Total over the 2 days for Eagle River is 6-8 inches with a bit more east of Eagle River. Looks like the temp will be jumping up Wednesday & Thursday. So what’s needed is a strong THINK COLD!!
 
In the meantime, Sno-Eagles is busy finishing up securing easements, brushing & signing snowmobile trails. Prepping grooming equipment. The Trail Boss & groomer drivers met last night for an organizational meeting at Erin’s Pub & Grub. A big supporter of the Sno-Eagles trails.

Trails will not open until after the 9 days deer gun hunt, 10 day muzzle loader season & 4 day Youth Hunt are complete. This with snow conditions permitting.

So as I said……THINK COLD! Then we can do THE SNOW DANCE!

Reporter:Stretch

Trail Conditions: Not Ridable

Snow Cover: Between 2″ – 4″

Date of Report: November 30, 2021

Area Report:

Well tomorrow is December 1st and our trails are supposed to open. However after getting around 4″-5″ inches of this past weekend it hit a warm 36° today. Along with some very gusty wind we lost a lot of our snow. So until we get some significant snow there will be no groomer yet. 

Remember trail from Dollar Bay to Lake Linden and the Frieda trail are both closed all season. Also trail 109 out of Twin Lakes to Alston will be closed permanently. We did get trail 133 back this year but we are still working on getting it open as soon as possible.

Well, things are very white around here.   We received 5-6” of fresh snow over the past few days.  Unfortunately trails will not open for a couple weeks.   Ice is forming on most lakes.   We need some colder weather before things really freeze up in the swamps and the lakes.  

Please, please keep off the trails till they open.

Trail Report – : Keweenaw Peninsula / Houghton-Hancock, South Range, Copper Harbor, Michigan – October 31, 2021

Reporter:Stretch

Trail Conditions: Not Ridable

Snow Cover: Zero snow cover

Date of Report: October 31, 2021

Area Report:

I know it’s a month before the trails officially opening but I thought I’d give everyone a reminder of what’s happening in the U.P. First off unlike last year we had close to 10″ on the ground. This year it’s 44° and rain. Hopefully things will change soon.

Keep in mind trail 3 from Dollar Bay to Lake Linden and the Frieda Loop are still closed from the foods of 2018. However funding has finally been approved for trail 3 to be repaired. Also trail 109 south from Twin Lakes to Alston is permanently closed due to trespassers on private land. We will be getting trail 133 back this year after a couple years of closure due to logging.

Trail Report – : Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin – October 17, 2021

Reporter:Toulish1

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: Imaginary

Date of Report: October 17, 2021

Snowmobile Information:

Northern Hornshoe trail brushing started October 4, and will continue through October. Saw John Dee’s seasonal forecast for below normal temps, and above average snow for the Northwoods. Weather has been amazing for outdoor projects. Propane tank is full, and a ton and a half of pellets are ready for the stove. Raffle ticket sales were amazing for our club fund raiser. As always, I urge everyone to join a club, and if you belong, don’t be afraid to reach out to help. I am training under Keith to help trail bossin’ this winter. The amount of paperwork, and the network of contacts is staggering. If you aren’t into brushwork, or grooming, every club can use help on a computer. Or just show up at groomer sheds on a Saturday, and grab a broom, or have a coffee, and say hi, and thank you, to the volunteers that make the trails safe, and fun. On our runs north, we often stop at Mercer Snow goers, or White Thunder Riders, sheds. I broke a ski loop handle last year, and Thunder Riders made a mid trail repair for me. We carry tools, and extra gas, on our Hornshoe groomer, to help people in a pinch. Snowmobilers are family, and we look out for one another. Hopefully my next report will have some SNOW to report.
