Looks to be SNOW is coming
Happy to report a WINTER STORM WATCH is in effect starting this afternoon & expiring Monday 12/29 at 3pm for VILAS county. Heavy snow possible with total SNOW accumulation between 11 & 16 inches possible. Wind gusts as high as 40 mph. Causing drifting. Do not have specific totals for Eagle River. My guess is 9 inches
If the SNOW totals pan out, trails will move up to GOOD in no time.
Groomer Tracking System (GTS) shows no grooming over night.
Vilas County & the Vilas County Snowmobile Alliance voted to use donated safety funds for beacon lighting. It will be installed at the entrance/exit of lakes. They will flash red, green & white. This should help riders find the exit off the lake. Clubs are installing. Right click on the announcement to enlarge.
New spur off the Trig’s trail. It takes you Chubby’s Family Restaurant. Here is the location. Right click photo to enlarge.
