Sno-Eagles trails and all of Vilas County Snowmobile Trails are CLOSED.  4-5 new inches of new SNOW from the Friday-Saturday storm.  A little more east of Eagle River that looks to be some Lake Effect Snow (LES)  Headed into the deep freeze for most of this week.  Single digit highs and below zero at night

Yesterday Sno-Eagles was out packing and inspecting trails.  Most wet areas are frozen with the except of the Wisconsin River bridge section of 10W/13N and the Manske Swamp trail 3 north or Eagle River.  Panning and even some rolling will start soon.
