VILAS COUNTY

Northwestern Vilas County: As of March 3, snowmobile trails in Northwestern Vilas County, Wisconsin, are reported to be in Fair to Poor condition. Daytime highs near 40 and bright sunshine have been deteriorating the trails. Deeps woods areas are holding their own; however, connecting to and from those areas is the tough part. Ground snow totals are variable to 15 inches. 

Eastern Vilas: As of MARCH 3rd, the snowmobile trails in CENTRAL and EASTERN VILAS COUNTY, Wisconsin (Conover, Phelps, Eagle River, St. Germain, Land O'Lakes and Sayner) are rating themselves in poor condition. Sun exposed and heavily traveled areas have no snow while some of the wooded areas might have fair riding conditions - connecting to these sections is not only hard to do but hard on the snowmobile. They are predicting warmer temperatures this weekend so continued snow melt is inevitable. Cross country ski trails remain in good condition. Sunny skies and warmer temperatures are beginning to soften the trails so skiers are reminded to watch for changing trail conditions.

BURNETT COUNTY

3/4/10 - Burnett County snowmobile trails will remain open through the weekend. Trails are in poor condition. With the temperatures being in the 40's, you will virtually not be able to ride some trails in the southern part of the county. Groomers are no longer out. Snowmobile trails will be officially closed Monday, March 8th.

The Frozen Ground ATV Trail system will remain open until further notice.

WASHBURN COUNTY

The Washburn County Snowmobile Trail system is open and in good condition. However, the trails are very icy. Please use with caution.

SAWYER COUNTY

The weather certainly has a lot to do with this but the trails in Southern and northern Sawyer County are in good condition and I'm hoping that remains threw this week end for the National/International ISOC Race.

PRICE COUNTY

Price County snowmobile trails are open and in fair to very good condition. The trails are being groomed. Conditions vary throughout the county. Snow cover is diminishing in open areas exposed to sun, on road routes and in town as the sun is now higher in the sky. There are some bare areas from logging operations, so please slow down and use caution whenever you see signs on the trail that say "Logging Ahead" or "Trucks Hauling". Highs are predicted to be near 40 through the weekend with lows below freezing at night. Get out and ride now, as spring is just around the corner! Price County snowmobile trails remain open through March 31.
