WARM WEATHER CONTINUES
WITH A LITTLE DROP IN TEMPS
Well a little drop in temperatures in Sno-Eagles Country. 24 this morning with a high of 37. SNOW is falling 6 miles east of Eagle River. Weather guys forecasting around an inch. And it will be overcast all day today. Going in the right direction!
Trails that were in Good or even better conditions have down graded to FAIR in many areas. In town trails are POOR. What was very mushy & water is frozen at this point this morning. So conditions are really icy. Road trails for the most part have no snow on them. Especially those running north & south. 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. At this point there will be grooming when the temperatures dictate. Stay tuned.
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 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!

Here are your current conditions:
Mother Nature is winning right now. The sun has been shinning and the temps have risen. The trails have taken a toll, but they are not gone yet. In the woods, trails are still going to be good. You might find a bare spot, but not too bad. The road trails and in town have been hit a little harder and any areas with direct sunlight. We are looking at some more snowfall next week. It’s not over yet.
Lakes are all marked, please stay close to barrels.

Trail Conditions: Good
Snow Cover: 10-12
Date of Report: February 28, 2018
Area Report:
The 12” of snow we received last week has added to the base but with 2 warm days behind us and few more to go, the trails have taken a hit as the meltdown has begun. The railroad grade, town roads and in town trails are melting away quickly. When you get out of town and into the woods, the trails are good.
With the possibility of colder temps and snow next week, we think it’s safe to say we are not done yet.
All and all, riders are reporting GOOD trails in the woods, going to the flowage and around the area. If you want to ride, you CAN find some good riding

Trail Conditions: Fair
Snow Cover: diminishing quickly
Date of Report: February 28, 2018
Area Report:
The sun and warm temperatures are taking a heavy hit to the trails. The trails are in fair condition with spots that are poor. The trail base is soft and mushy at this point.
The trails that are exposed to the sun have bare spots and snirt. The forest roads are fair, but to have a full day ride, you will most likely encounter areas that are poor. The trail into town has bare spots. The further you can go out of town the better off they are.
Grooming activity has been halted until cooler weather returns – hopefully.
When riding these conditions, please stay on the marked trails at all time. It can be enticing to go off the trails to hit some plentiful snow, but the ramifications with an upset landowner can be devastating to the trail system.
Could be the last runs of the year in the next few days.

We received a total of 14-18″ of snow over the last week and all trails have been groomed since Monday. This is the weekend to be in the Cable Area! We have a solid base, fresh snow, and groomers are working hard! This is the best riding we’ve seen all season. And, we have two awesome events this weekend!
It’s Weenie Roast Weekend!
Known throughout the region as the most fun on ice, thousands of weenie enthusiasts come to Lake Namakagon for this fantastic event. Held to raise funds for the Great Divide Ambulance Service, the Namakagon Volunteer Fire Department and other area charities and not-for-profits, this event holds the record for the longest line of hot dog cookers over one fire in the world. With events like snowmobile speed runs, ice bowling, outlaw drags and the frozen weenie polar bear plunge into Lake Namakagon, there is more than enough fun for everyone.

Areas of concern are trail 90 east between Old Grade and Federal Rd. The reroute has been removed and trail 90 is open! Watch for logging trucks as they are still removing some loads and running on Federal Road. Another area is Trail 15 between Club Lake Rd and Camp Eight Rd at the Great Divide. Heavy ice over the trail due to a spring that continues to spread water across the trail.

Trail Conditions: Good
Snow Cover: 1 – 15 inch trail base
Date of Report: February 28, 2018
Area Report:
Price County snowmobile trails are in good condition. Trails that were groomed this week are reported to be in very good to excellent condition. The trails have a good base in most areas, however, some corners may be icy, bare spots are starting in some open areas, approaches at road crossing are starting to become bare in some areas, and road routes are bare. Forecasters are predicting overnight lows below freezing with a chance for light snow on Thursday so we are hopeful the trails will hold up through this warm spell, but 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.
