Northwest Portal has created a set of maps covering all groomed snowmobile trails in Washington State and will be adding maps of Nordic areas and selected snowmobile trails in Oregon and Idaho. The maps are updated for the 2025-2026 season, including temporary closures and changes to groomed routes.
Maps purchased from the Northwest Portal store are available in both tabloid (11x17”) and poster (24x36”). Tabloid maps include two versions of the map, one with contour lines and one without. All poster sized maps have contours. The maps can downloaded and opened with any PDF reader, printed, or used with a GeoPDF reader such as Avenza. The maps have all groomed snowmobile trails, un-groomed routes identified by local snowmobile clubs, Nordic trails, snowshoe routes, recreation roads and summer trails as those are often used for winter recreation. Recreation lands are symbolized to show the rules are for snowmobiles (allowed off trail, on road or trail only, and no-motorized use) and trail access shows which recreation pass is required for parking. The maps also have campgrounds, view points, fire towers and state parks. They are designed to capture complete riding areas (where possible)
The poster sized maps with contour lines can also be purchased on the Northwest Portal Store on Avenza Maps. Map purchased directly from Avenza do not count against your Avenza map limit, but can only be used in Avenza.

Snow NW Filters
Filters let you find the perfect destination by highlighting places that meet all of your conditions.
Filters are organized in groups to make them easier to find, but you can select from more than one group. Most groups highlight places that meet all of the conditions, but a few (Land Manager, Pass, and Days Open) let you see places that have any of the options you select.
On the app, use the Filter button in the upper right to open the filter menu; on the web map, use the Filter button to access the filter groups. Once you are done, use Clear (on the web map) or Reset (on the app).
Other Map Functions
Plot your location with your phone GPS.
Use the search function to highlight places by name. Hints: You can also search by the name of the water body and use search to highlight places written up in Northwest Portal Blogs and partner blogs. If you want to use search to find a city and only want to highlight the city, add “City of” to the search name (City of Ellensburg will give you just the city, Ellensburg will give you the city and any places with Ellensburg in the name).
Use the maps even when offline: On the apps, you can download regions for offline navigation. Hint: Make sure to update your downloads regularly to get the latest updates. Once you have downloaded a region, you will not see changes until you update. (Ending 12/31/2025).
Use Avenza maps to navigate off-line.
You can share the web maps with filters or search applied. You can also embed the maps on a page, with a specific location highlighted.
If you dream of riding through a winter wonderland in Washington’s Cascade mountains or want to trying snowmobiling before you invest in the equipment, treat yourself to a guided snowmobile tour or, if you have some experience, rent a snowmobile and explore on your own. Snowmobile Winthrop and Motor Toys Rental and Tours in Cle Elum will help you get out on the snow.
