Reporter:Holly t

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: Soft & mushy snow cover

Date of Report: February 28, 2018

Area Report:

February 28, 2018 – 6:50am

WARM WEATHER CONTINUES

The temps have been in the 40’s the last couple of days & will be there today as well. Starting tomorrow temps will drop to the mid 30’s. Trails that were in Good or even better conditions have down graded to FAIR in many areas. In town trails are POOR with very mushy conditions, water & bare roads. Road trails for the most part have no snow on them. 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. No grooming until further notice.

Wednesday & Thursday Sno-Eagles Guided Trail rides have been canceled for now.

The section of the Chanticleer Inn Trail off of Trail 10E that takes riders to Eagle Lake is mushy & wet at the entrance heading to the lake. 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 – : Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin – February 27, 2018

Reporter:Manitowish Waters Chamber

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 16-22 inches

Date of Report: February 27, 2018

Area Report:

Overall I would say our trails are fair to good. Had a great ride yesterday! Trails are still good in the woods and shaded areas but trails that run along roads are getting snow dirt mix. The grade through Mercer was still ok yesterday – the sun will take a toll on exposed areas. Watch the weather and I will update often this week. There is a chance of snow Thursday! RIDE SAFE.

News and Reports:

A huge thank you to all who attended the Winterfest Rendezvous and those who purchased tickets on our Arctic Cat Raffle. Congratulations to winner Dave Mueller! Dave is a club member and helps out at Our Duck Race!

Thank you to all of our volunteers that made our event a huge success! Some of these guys took 2 days off of work to help set the tent and organize everything. This is a lot of work, but so rewarding to know that it went so well! Proceeds from the Winterfest and raffles go towards trail maintenance!

I am proud of how everyone pitched in to make this such a great event: from the people and businesses who donated raffle items, to those who attended and purchased raffle tickets and especially the volunteers! We look forward to next years events!

Trail Report – : Price County – Park Falls, Phillips & Prentice, Wisconsin – February 27, 2018

Reporter:Price County Tourism Department

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 Report – : Washburn County, Wisconsin – February 27, 2018

Reporter:Washburn County

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!
