VILAS COUNTY TRAILS ARE OPEN
Snowmobile Trails Can Remain Open Until Midnight March 31st
Conditions permitting

Very little change in the report this morning. Trails on average are FAIR. In town trails are POOR frozen spots of SNOW & ice in the mornings. As it warms up during the day the SNOW & ice thaw & get mushy and wet especially at road crossings. Many of the road trails for the most part have no snow on them. Especially those running north & south. Moving out of town conditions improve but it is a struggle to get to them without a bit of adventure sledding. In woods trails particularly way out east, north & southwest are FAIR with even some areas of GOOD but this is getting far & few between. That would be 6 miles or more. Trailering & dropping off to ride might be good.

Partly cloudy today with high of 33 & then 20 overnight. Snow Showers tomorrow. Stay tuned for totals.

Here are some continuing areas to be aware of:

The section of the Chanticleer Inn Trail off of Trail 10E that takes riders to Eagle is mushy & wet at the entrance heading to the lake but is passable. Trail Boss is monitoring that area and will close if conditions continue.

Trail 1N logging operation continues in the section between the Town of Washington Town Hall & Eagle Lake. With the log piles and icy grainy conditions in that section it would be good to slow down. Minimal grooming due to the logging operation.

Catfish Lake Loop & Eagle Lake Trails are marked with orange easy to see reflective barrels. Please stay by the barrels to be safe. Reminder that the Catfish Lake Trail that ran from Braywood to Lumpy’s is not open. Please do not trespass on private land.

To keep the riding season going it’s going to take everyone Doin’ the SNOW Dance & THINKING COLD!!

See ya on the trails again real soon!

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – March 3, 2018

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 12-14 inches

Date of Report: March 3, 2018

Area Report:

Trails in Conover are now in FAIR condition. Even with the dumping of about a foot of new snow last week, temps have warmed up and the sun has been out causing a reduction of snow and base. Road crossings and road routes are thin or bare. March riding is usually like this as we can pick up some big snows, the sun can come out and turn things from good to poor in a hurry. Still good riding but you may have to be flexible with your route. As always, ride right, ride safe and keep the track side down.

Trail Report – : Washburn County, Wisconsin – March 3, 2018

Reporter:Washburn County

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 7-10 inch base

Date of Report: March 3, 2018

Area Report:

All of the Washburn County snowmobile trails are OPEN! Trails are in great condition with a 7 to 10 inch base even after a few days of warmer weather. We are hoping the weather forecast is correct and will bring us more snow during the early parts of the coming week! Please be aware that the base might be a little slim at road crossings with a snowy dirt mixture. Always use caution on the trails as volunteers are out grooming daily to keep them in the great condition they are already in. Enjoy the trails!

Trail on average are FAIR. In town trails are POOR. What was very mushy & water is frozen at this point this morning. So conditions are really icy. Will softened up later as that evil sun will be out today. Many of the road trails for the most part have no snow on them. Especially those running north & south. Moving out of town conditions improve but it is a struggle to get to them without a bit of adventure sledding. In woods trails particularly way out east, north & southwest are FAIR with even some areas of GOOD but this is getting far & few between. Trailering & dropping off to ride might be good.

22 degrees already 6 miles east of Eagle River. Temps will be 40 for a high today with a low of 22 again tonight. Next chance for SNOW is Monday. An inch during the day with 1-3 over night is forecast. Stay tuned. Potential for a little more on Tuesday.

Trail Report – : Price County – Park Falls, Phillips & Prentice, Wisconsin – March 2, 2018

Reporter:Price County Tourism Department

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: 0 – 12 inch base

Date of Report: March 2, 2018

Area Report:

Price County snowmobile trails range from very good to poor condition. Trails in the woods have a good base and they are in good condition for spring riding, however, some corners may be icy, there may be bare spots in open areas, approaches at road crossing are becoming bare, and road routes are bare. Trails near towns are poor. With warm temps predicted, conditions can deteriorate quickly. Detailed trail condition reports can be view on our website at pricecountywi.net.

Some Price County trails are on private land. The use of the private land is a PRIVILEGE, not a right. Please stay on marked trails, especially across fields. There have been many complaints from landowners due to snowmobilers not staying on the trail and riding all over their fields. To avoid having these trails closed, PLEASE respect the private land that is open to snowmobiling.

Several miles of trail are open for winter ATV and UTV riding including the Flambeau Trail System, Solberg Trail, and Georgetown Trail. The Price County portion of the Pine Line Rail Trail (Prentice to Ogema), Snowmobile Trail 189 (Ogema to Timm’s Hill), and Snowmobile Trails 116, 181 and 118 (Prentice area loop) are also open to winter ATV and UTV riding when the trail is officially open to snowmobile use and the temperature is 28 degrees or colder.

You can order visitor information or maps from the Price County Tourism Department website, www.pricecountywi.net, or call 715-339-4505, plus you can listen to recorded trail reports or talk to the friendly Tourism Department staff.
