Reporter:Colleen

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 18 – 25 inches of current snowcover

Date of Report: February 23, 2026

Area Report:

Our trail system is open and currently being groomed on a regular basis. We received over a foot of new snowfall  last week. The snow came in on Wednesday and continued through part of Saturday. Our temps are remain in the teens to middle 20’s through most of the week. Great news for the grooming schedule. We are suppose to see warmer temps on Friday, but then dropping back down again on Saturday and Sunday into the teens. This is all good news for the snowmobile trails. Currently, trails are all in very good to excellent condition, and will remain this way throughout the next week.  Perfect time to come up and hit the trails.

Trail Conditions – Excellent – Trails #2, #107, #15 N, #111, #116, #16, #113 and trail #18

                            Very Good – Trail #15 S.

Honestly, if you make Iron County your hub, there should be great riding in all directions this week and weekend!  As a reminder, please remember to ride right, watch the corners for all oncoming traffic and give the groomer operators the space they need to keep your trails flat & smooth. It’s been a great snowmobile season and it looks like we are going to have a few more weeks of good riding. 🙂

Happy Trails!!  🙂

Trail Report – : Hayward / Sawyer County, Wisconsin – February 23, 2026

Reporter:haywardlakes

Trail Conditions: Fair

Snow Cover: 4-6

Date of Report: February 23, 2026

Area Report:

In the northern part of Sawyer County, groomers on Friday evening 2/20 reported that trails are very hard so not cutting too much but smoothly out with grooming. We still need more snow, especially on southern exposed trails. Things are rideable but icy, and bare in some areas. Lakes are icy, so please use caution.

Trail Report – : Rhinelander, Wisconsin – February 23, 2026

Reporter:Hodag SnoTrails

Trail Conditions: Good

Snow Cover: A good base with 6″ of fresh snow

Date of Report: February 23, 2026

Area Report:

Wow, what an unexpected surprise!!  We received 5+” of well needed snow over the weekend.  Hodag Sno-Trails was out grooming and improving the base with the new snowfall.  The conditions improved to “good” with the open areas now covered again and adding to the base.

Forecast is a possibility of a few more inches this week.  The trails should be in good shape and continue through next weekend.

March riding is coming!!  Let’s ride, stay right and have some fun.

 

Trail Report – : Conover, Wisconsin – February 22, 2026

Reporter:snobuddies

Trail Conditions: Excellent

Snow Cover: 10-12”

Date of Report: February 22, 2026

Area Report:

Wow, a lot of traffic was out again this Saturday. Trails I rode early in the morning were moguls by evening. With the fresh snow we received this week helped out a lot. Every trail in Conover was hit last night, and they panned in beautifully. Looks like every club has been out at least on their busier trails flattening them back out. 

I met some bigger groups last night while grooming. Most understand to find a place to get off the trail to allow me to pass. If the groomer has the ability to get off the trail, they will and signal to the group that is safe to pass. I had a few ride up to the groomer and stared at me. I had to signal to go back to a clearing. Had another 2 come up behind me, but they didn’t feel comfortable passing me, so I continued on to a trail intersection where they could pick another trail to go down. 

As we close out the last week of February and head into March, this has been a great season for riding. Hopefully we can go all the way to end of March. 

Ride Right, Ride Safe
