Snowmobiling Continues... conditions fair/poor

Guests at the hotel headed out riding again today -- telling us that conditions away from town are considerably better then what we see from the highways. Warm temps have caused softening and melting on the trail, leaving a crusty base and deteriorating conditions. Here are photos from Tuesday afternoon on the Bo-Boen snowmobile trail right behind the hotel:

We are watching forecasts and hoping for more snow. At this point snowmobile trails are still rideable and many considered decent, although some have parked their sleds waiting for conditions to improve.

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.

Lake Ice - great sign for winter season to come!

Deer hunting season opened this morning with 15 degrees in St Germain. The cold temps ushered in ice on some area lakes!  We're looking forward to the ice fishing and snowmobiling to come!

First SNOW of the season to cover Rustic Manor!

First Accummulating Snowfall hits St Germain Nov 13

Exciting this morning to see the fresh-fallen snow throughout the northwoods! We received a couple of inches of wet heavy snow -- the first accummulating snow of the season. Glad our Christmas lights are already installed and we're looking forward to a great winter with best-ever snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and of course snowmobiling!

Stay tuned here as we plan to update regularly with Bo-Boen snowmobile trail conditions and snowfall reports.
