More areas can be downloaded for offline navigation. There are now 19 downloadable regions covering all types of snow recreation. Download one or more regions before you hit the trail and enjoy peace of mind. No more worries about cell towers or smartphone connections on the trail.
New colors and styles make it easier to find the right trail for you. Winter trails now have a black halo so they stand out better. Snowmobile trails are orange so they cannot be confused with closed areas and trails. Ungroomed trails use the same colors with hash marks. Recreation land is coded to help you understand the rules; green (snowmobiles allowed off-trail or use unknown), light yellow (snowmobiles must stay on roads or trails), dark yellow (snowmobiles must stay on groomed trails), light red (non-motorized area), and deep red (the area is closed to all uses including fire closures.

HELP SPREAD THE WORD TO THE TRACKED ATV/UTV COMMUNITY (Nov '21) - Step one was creating a path for the tracked ATV/UTV community to legally use our groomed trails. Step two is helping educate them on what they need to do to be legal and how to better interact with their fellow snowmobilers. WSSA has created a one-page sheet with pertinent information. We'd like to see these posted in sno-parks, warming huts, at dealers, and anywhere else you think they might be useful. In time we hope to have laminated copies available, but for now, we encourage you to download the PDF and print as many as you need.
