Women of all ages and riding abilities come to Eagle River, Wisconsin for a get-away weekend of trail riding during Women on Snow. The event officially begins on Friday morning with registration and ends on Sunday afternoon, after a trail ride to brunch. The women sign up in one of six groups, designated by color, and led by one of the Women on Snow Board of Directors.

A rider’s meeting is held before departing for the first ride. At 3:00 p.m. each group leaves the host resort for a ride on the Eagle River area trails, making a pit stop or two along the way. Dinner is a Wisconsin Fish Fry at a local establishment. Friday’s ride is typically 50-70 miles.

On Saturday morning, it's early to rise with a continental breakfast. The gals are on the trail by 8:30 a.m. Each of the riding groups head in different directions, but meet at a common place for lunch. There is a support vehicle towing a snowmobile trailer available for uncooperative sleds or mishaps. After lunch, each group departs for more trail riding, returning to home base by late afternoon, and logging in about 100 miles for the day. Saturday evening brings a themed Saturday night banquet which is always full of surprises.

The snowmobiling fun continues Sunday morning and ends after brunch at about 1:00 p.m. Most of the gals begin to pack up and head for home, but a few of the more seasoned trail riders stay for the Women on Snow Tour which occurs Monday through Wednesday after the weekend event.

Women on Snow is a great weekend away and attracts gals of all ages and riding abilities. Meals, lodging, and gas are included in the price for the weekend; oil and refreshments are on your own. Reservations are accepted on a first-received/first accepted basis. The registration form for the next event will be available for download from the home page in October.
