Reporter:Holly t
Trail Conditions: Closed
Snow Cover: 1-2 inches
Date of Report: December 21, 2020
Area Report:

December 21 – 7:26am – 28 degrees – High of 30

Trails in Eagle River & All of Vilas County remain CLOSED

SNOW SHOWERS this morning! Forecast of an inch today.  Wednesday 2-4 inches.  Moving in the right direction.  Still need more to begin panning & grooming.  Let’s hope for some Lake Effect Snow.  That snow off Lake Superior is never in the forecasts.  THINK SNOW & KEEP DANCIN’

Ground, swamps & other wet areas are frozen up pretty good.  Eagle & Catfish lakes are building ice.  Stay off for now until the Sno-Eagles determine both are safe & marked. 

All trail inspections in Vilas County have been completed.  Now we wait. With not much new to report.

A few updates on the trails:

Trail 13 that heads west of Eagle River has a re route in the section that comes out on Oak Lane by the Pine Gables Restaurant.  There is new construction going on so the club has done a temporary move over of the trail.  Next year the trail will be moved slightly south permanently.

Also the lake spur off of the Eagle Lake Trail that takes you to Eagle Waters Resort is back open!!!  The owner Laura Koranda & adjacent landowners worked hard to have this happen!

Eagle River Volunteer Fire Department checking ice at Silver Lake.  Reports are 7 inches thick.

Let’s get a loud SNOW DANCE GOING!  Can’t wait to see ya all out on the trails!

THINK SNOW!
