There aren't many Utv/snowmobile trails here in Nokomis ....only to the northwest of us in the Willow Region are there joint trails...most of the snowmobile trails here do not allow UTV's on them...it's private land owners that do not want this as the utv's rip up the soil, and land

AND this is what I'm seeing over here as well...people who have done this a long time getting out of the sport...One I know said he's selling his sled and will be going south after the holidays every year, to be in warm weather and not have to shovel/snow blow/plow...he's tired of it...He's...

And then this pops up in minnesota (i thought you guys said it was better over there)

if you can't get it to open....this is what it says The bill makes several changes to snowmobile registration and trail pass fees. 1. It increases the fee for a three-year snowmobile public use registration from $30 to $45. 2. It increases fees for trail passes as follows: a. For a snowmobile...

Here is the proposed legislation...

Same thing...not making enough money...I was told Michigan was thinking about going to $100 dollars for out of state sledders...again just a rumor I haven't been able to verify, that's why I asked here

BTW ...The Wisconsin Snowmobile registration fee, and trail pass might all be going up...I know the AWSC has asked to raise the rates for more grooming funding (wouldn't be necessary if the DNR applied all of the snowmobile registration money to snowmobile trail maintenance)...Also heard...

No idea on Silverado....can't give you an answer on that...but there are plenty of bars for sale in a 60 mile radius...86 is a main route, and many heavy logging trucks use it, so that road gets beat.

100%....Covid caused a mass wave of people to move up here....it's insane the amount of people here now...it drove property values through the roof...before we found the house we currently own (which we way over paid for)..we got outbid on 4 other properties...We are not used to traffic up...

Currently 42 degrees and bright sunshine at 9AM.....trails in the woods still decent this morning...but conditions are changing by the hour

Just took a 65 mile loop this afternoon/evening...it was too warm..trails were decent in the woods...but we're soft and slushy, and anywhere the sun hit was brown ...today did alot of damage...roads that were snow covered this morning, were bare this afternoon...we hit 51 today with direct...

I hardly call being blunt and honest "ranting"..i will always call stuff as i see it.....i guess you dont have the trespassing or noise complaints we have down here..maybe you have better land owners who more accepting of snowmobiling on their land...dunno...but you're right ...im definitely...

Sorry you feel that way.....Every club, and every county is different...but if you don't think these issues are real, or aren't something the clubs deal with on a yearly basis...I don't know what to tell ya. .....The general public has no clue what it takes to maintain, groom and keep trails...

x2....you are 100 percent correct...I'm certainly not saying I'm doing all the work at all...but there are about 4 people that handle the bulk of our club business, and a few area rider's/support clubs now do the majority of the brushing and lake marking which is nice.....however the majority of...
