❄❄❄January of 2026 marked the 40th annual Women on Snow weekend with a total of 107 ladies. The weekend event started with -26° on the thermometer accompanied by windchills of -50°. A hearty group of girls rode a short ride meeting the remaining “car rider girls” for dinner at the Veterans Resource Center in Eagle River. Sno-Eagles snowmobile club provided a great dinner of fish and chicken. With a warm up on Saturday to -10° all groups headed out for a great day of riding, despite the cold.

❄❄2026 banquet theme was “Time Traveler” to celebrate the 40th annual Women on Snow weekend. Laura, the staff at Eagle Waters, and our DJ did a wonderful job hosting our Saturday Night Banquet. Original members and leaders from the 1986 event and leaders from the past 40 years were special guests to the Saturday banquet. A special thanks to Sandy Berner, Bev Dittmar, Laurel Frank, Edie Kukanich, Sue Minor and Phylis Atchison-Case for attending the 40th anniversary banquet. During the banquet, everyone enjoyed the time honored tradition of the hat ceremony where the new girls, who are affectionately referred to as funewgees, trade in their pink hat for the black one. Thanks to our many sponsors and supporters for the special prizes we awarded throughout the weekend.

❄❄❄ The women who attended the weekend donated over $6,084 through a special raffle and 50/50 drawing. The money raised was donated to Boulder Junction Snowmobile Club, Bo-Boen Snowmobile Club of St. Germain, Conover Sno-Buddies, Frosty Club of Land O’ Lakes, Northern Lights Snowmobile Club of Three Lakes, Phelps Snowmobile Club, Sayner/Star Lake Barnstormers, Sno-Eagles, Inc. of Eagle River, and the Sugar Camp Snowmobile Club. We really appreciate what they do for our trail system!

This historical resort is located on Eagle Lake, part of the 28-lake chain; their Kee-Mi-Con Lodge at Eagle Waters has 24 Northwoods-style lodging units perfect for our event.

❄❄❄”The Funewgee Finder Reward” was a success, and it will be continued for next year. If a friend you refer to WOS attends the WOS 2027 Weekend for the first time, you will receive a $10 credit toward your registration for 2028. BTW, a funewgee is a “fun new girl.”
