Trail Conditions: Good
Snow Cover: 6 – 15 inch trail base
Date of Report: February 27, 2018
Area Report:
All Price County snowmobile trails are open and in good condition with plenty of base. Some trails were groomed Sunday and Monday, and they are in very good to excellent condition. Road routes are becoming bare. We received a total of 10 inches of new heavy, wet snow as of Saturday night, but warms temps are predicted for this week and 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.

Trail Conditions: Excellent
Snow Cover: 7-13 inch base
Date of Report: February 27, 2018
Area Report:
All of the Washburn County snowmobile trails are OPEN! Trails are in excellent condition with a 7 to 13 inch base. Saturday evening brought a fresh 6+ inches of powder. The new snow has been great addition to the already good base and even with the warmer temperatures we are expecting to keep a good base. Please be aware that the base might be a little slim at road crossings as we had a snowy dirt mixture before the new snow. Always use caution on the trails as volunteers are out grooming the trails to keep up with all the new snow we’ve received, please note that some of the trails may not be groomed yet due to the timing of the snow fall. Enjoy the trails!

Area Report:
Warm during the day and cold at night, though trails still fair to good shape. Groomers going out late night and early morning if cold enough. Supposed to have a couple days this week above 40, so we will see how trails hold up. With the high winds, watch for newly-fallen branches or trees!
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.
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.

Area Report:
Well…we did get to ride yesterday…put on about 80 miles all on the Iron Snowshoe trail. The day started out beautiful. Trails were the best I had seen all year. However, the warm temperatures set in fast and everything is melting. There are now many bare spots, mud, water… The warm temperatures are predicted for several days. I hope Mother Nature changes her mind soon.
