Snow Cover: 1-2″ fresh powder. thinning base
Date of Report: March 7, 2018
Area Report:
The two inches of fresh powder we received earlier in the week, did not have a significant impact on the overall trail conditions. It basically covered up the bare spots, but it won’t last with any amount of traffic.
As a result, the conditions are the same as last week. They are fair (in the wooded areas, fire lanes, etc..), there are poor sections with bare spots in the exposed areas, and road routes. You can go out and ride, but be aware that you will no doubt hit some poor areas.
We sent the groomers out in some areas to see if there was anything to work with. The groomers are not out on the nightly schedule at this point.
This is late season riding at this point. Please stay on the marked trails at all times.

HEY!!! DON’T PUT YOUR SNOW MACHINES AWAY FOR THE SUMMER JUST YET!!!! Our trails are in fair condition. A dusting of snow over night along with the 2 inches the other day has helped our trails. The forecast has a chance of flurries and generally overcast skies through the weekend. It’s a “Snow Globe” kind of day out there as snow continues to dust us today. If you can make it up and don’t have expectations of excellent trails, then you will probably be pleasantly surprised. I’M GOING OUT FOR A RIDE TOMORROW AND WILL UPDATE
News and Reports:
A big thank you to the Manitowish Waters Chamber for mailing maps out for us and their help in reporting trail conditions. Also a huge thank you to the groomer operators who volunteer their time to make our trails the best they can be!
Snowmobile Information:
The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters snowmobile club was founded in 1968 and is one of the oldest snowmobile clubs in existence today in Wisconsin. Located in the very northwest corner of Vilas county, Manitowish Waters borders the Lake Superior snow-belt country. With average snowfalls of 150 inches and over 25 miles of professionally groomed trails, the area is one of Vilas County’s top winter vacation areas.
The Manitowish Waters trail system is a unique hub network directly linking into 5 other trail systems. With Minocqua/Woodruff to our south, St. Germain/Eagle River to our southeast, Lake Gogebic to our north, Presque Isle/Winchester to our northeast, Mercer and Hurley to our northwest and Lac du Flambeau/Price County to our west, our area residents and guests can choose from a variety of daily or overnight destinations for scenic riding with excellent pit stops along the way.
The Manitowish Waters Sno-Skeeters maintain an active grooming schedule for the area’s trail system. Coordinated efforts with the surrounding communities provide continuous smoothly-groomed trails in this northwest sector. The Sno-Skeeters own and operate some of the newest grooming equipment on the market today. Support the club by attending their special events or contributing to the “trail pigs” at local establishments along the trails. Or show your support by becoming a member!
Enjoy, and please ride responsibly and safely!

Area Report:
All of the Washburn County snowmobile trails are OPEN! Trails are in great condition with a 7 to 13 inch base. Monday night we received 6 to 7 inches of fresh powder. Because of the timing of the new snow, all trails may not be groomed right away. Please be aware that the base might be a little slim at road crossings with a snowy dirt mixture before receiving this fresh snow. 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 Conditions: Good
Snow Cover: 1-12
Date of Report: March 7, 2018
Area Report:
Price County snowmobile trails are in good condition. We received approximately 4 inches of snow on Monday/Tuesday. The trails have a good base in most areas. Corners are getting icy, bare spots are starting to show in some areas, approaches to road crossings are becoming bare, and road routes are bare. During March, conditions can improve with snow or deteriorate quickly with sun and warm temps. Trails are being groomed when conditions permit.
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.
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.

Snow Cover: 8-10 inches
Date of Report: March 7, 2018
Area Report:
Trail report for March 7, 2018 Poor to Fair condition. We received some snow yesterday and got about 2 inches. To the south of us they got more. I went for a ride yesterday and inspected half of our trail system. The conditions were pretty good overall. Near town it is very bare and snowmobile routes on roads are mainly blacktop. There are some puddles in some areas and parts of the trail were down to dirt with just the fresh snow covering it. The trail is very hard and down to the base but with the added couple inches of snow it made the ride enjoyable. The humps and bumps were at a minimum and there was very low traffic (saw some tracks but no sleds on the trail). With that said I don’t know how long that will last. I will be out today to inspect the rest of our trail system and it is snowing right now but no expected snow accumulations in the near future. The temps are expected to be in the 30’s for the weekend. We will just have to see how thing turn out. Remember to be safe, ride right, and enjoy the ride.
