The weather is looking good for the start to our snowmobile season, however we do need more snow. Yesterday fed us a wintry mix, which resulted in about 6-7” of snow and a some icy rain. The good news is that the temperatures are going to drop to single digits for the next few days and we are forecasted to receive up to a foot of snow in the next 5-10 days. That is a recipe for a great base on the trails, we just need to be patient and see what happens. Groomers should be going out this week to start to get the trails ready.

Couple of notes: Use caution on trails 1 south and 13 south as they will be very wet, and there may be a possible reroute on trail 102 due to logging, (however, this will be a temporary re-route). Also, bridge on trail 8, East of Bergland is out and it is marked. The trail will be rerouted over the dam at the north end of the lake where the trail was a couple years ago. As was reported, a couple of sleds have been spotted on the lake, but that’s not recommended as yet!

Snowcross is at Blackjack this week and it should get everybody in the mood (not that you aren’t already!). Check back for the latest and we will look to keep you updated. You can always check out the view of the lake at www.walleyelodge.com or email us at iceman@walleyelodge.com .
