Area Report:
Trails are still open up here in the Keweenaw. There is actually pretty decent snow out on the trails once you get out of town going towards Twin Lakes and north towards Copper Harbor. Getting through town, Hancock and Houghton, is a little light and the trails are hard and dirty, but you can still get thru and I just watched a pack of 6 sleds go by! (See pics from Trail 17 going thru Hancock) It has been cold at night and during the day the high has been mid 20’s. Bottom line, plenty of good, white snow out on the trails to ride; so if you are looking to get in your last trip of the season, get up here now before its too late!!

Snow Cover: 0 – 10 inch trail base
Date of Report: March 20, 2018
Area Report:
Price County snowmobile trails are in poor condition and riding is not recommended at this time. Some areas may still have a good base but conditions are spotty. There are many bare spots and sections where the trail is bare in logging areas, and road routes are bare. Trails in wooded areas are best, so trailering to a parking area along the trail away from town is recommended if you plan to ride. The trails are icy in many areas and especially on corners, and approaches to road crossings are thin or bare in most areas. Tuesday 03/13/19 was the last day of trail grooming. The trails remain open through March 31, 2018.
Several miles of trail are open for winter ATV and UTV riding. 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 open to winter ATV and UTV riding when the trail is officially open to snowmobile use and the temperature is 28 degrees or colder.
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 and stay on marked trails.

Trail #8 going west is the only trail left that is being groomed and rideable. It may make it to the weekend at least west of Brimley. The sun is melting a little bit of snow every day and areas in the open will develop bare spots or corners.
Follow us on Facebook, too.
We have a newly-plowed parking area at the beginning of Trail #8 under the International Bridge, which now has an all-season porta-john. Make sure you lock your vehicles and trailers.
If you are staying in the Sault, please look at our list of supporters on our web page and give them your business. Please do that in all towns you visit. The grooming entities are all made up of volunteers who want you to support those who support us!
Remember, trail base is the amount of snow between your track and the ground below not the amount of fluff piled up in the woods. 10 inches of snow compresses to less than an inch on the trail.
