Date of Report: March 7, 2017

THE STATE FUNDED SNOWMOBILE TRAIL SYSTEM IN VILAS COUNTY WILL
OFFICIALLY CLOSE EFFECTIVE 7:00 A.M. MARCH 7TH, 2017.

Trail Report: Sayner, Wisconsin – March 7, 2017

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover:

Date of Report: March 7, 2017

Area Report:

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.

News and Reports:

Still a few days remaining!

***Who couldn’t use some extra cash? A new fundraiser for this season is the Barnstormers Poker Run – 50/50 3-place Raffle to help support our trails. Tickets will be available at businesses listed below and are $5. 2000 tickets will be available for sale. Possible cash prizes of up to $2500, $1500, and $1000 if all tickets are sold. Tickets will be available starting in December at Sayner Pub, Stillwaters, Vinchi’s, Weber’s, Mar-li’s, Patti’s Murmuring Waters, and Fibbers. The Poker Run doesn’t end until March 19th so there is still time to get out and win some cash!!! Even if there is no riding, you can still do it by truck/car!!!

Trail Report: Conover, Wisconsin – March 7, 2017

Trail Conditions: Closed

Snow Cover: very little

Date of Report: March 7, 2017

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!

Trail Report: Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin – March 6, 2017

Trail Conditions: Poor

Snow Cover: 2-6

Date of Report: March 6, 2017

Area Report:

I just spoke with Dale Mayo (Vilas County Parks and Recreation Administrator) and let hem know our opinion.
In the interest of safety and a quality snowmobiling experience, The MW Sno Skeeters are in favor of temporarily closing the trails.
We have water issues in the swamps and poor trail coverage in general.
If we see winter again and have a chance to reopen before the end of March we would be more than happy to do what it takes to Re Open.

News and Reports:

Also a big thanks to our trail Boss Mark Smit and Groomer operators: Bob Skrobot, Chris Sindberg, Mike Swatek, Bryan Klug & Wes Lupa!
