Blizzard begins Saturday Morning!

By late morning Saturday, the snow fall has been heavy -- a great start to the winter season ahead welcomed by skiers, snowmobilers and snow-shoers! The Bo-Boen snowmobile trails and trails throughout Vilas County officially opened December 10 and this Dec 11 blizzard sure sets the stage for a heathy trail base.

Minocqua Winter Park is holding a cross-country ski Demo Days today. They are reporting some groomed ski trails and invite everyone out.

Prayers and Snow Dances Paid Off!

Snow fell all day yesterday and through the night... dropping about 5-6 inches more snow across the area.  It's beautiful out here with snow-covered pines and the bustle of snow plows and shovels!   

Vilas County snowmobile trails officially open today!

Area clubs including the Bo-Boens have not been out grooming or panning the trails just yet, but with last night's addition, they may be out this afternoon/evening to make initial runs to pack the base.  We urge all snowmobilers to ride gingerly (not spinning your track or taking corners to aggressively) so to pack the snow and not scatter snow off the trails. 

Now is the time to get out and enjoy your first trail ride of the season!
