Area Report:
Vilas County Snowmobile Trails Are Currently Closed
***TRAILS WILL OPEN DECEMBER 12- SNOW & WEATHER CONDITIONS PERMITTING***
Parks & Recreation Administrator, Dale Mayo, will finish inspecting today, Saturday, December 10. He will contact all 11 Clubs Monday morning, December 12 for individual area conditions for each Club. Stay tuned for an announcement. Trails are officially sanctioned & given the ok to open by Vilas County. Shouldn’t be too long now. Safety First!
COLD temps have moved into Eagle River. High today of 12 degrees. Low tonight 7. Tomorrow temps will bounce up to 21 and 1-3 inches of SNOW is forecast. This does not include any Lake Effect that might come in from the north. After that it will be COLD for the near future. Single digits or below 0 every night. This is great news. Swamps and wet areas will freeze up tight!
Right now the Trail Boss has enlisted snowmobiles to run back & forth over wet areas to move the freeze up along by compressing the snow & slush.
Keep THINKING COLD as there still are wet swamps & marshy areas.
See Ya On The Trails Real Soon!
