I have the linq sport bag 17L. It's perfect, stores everything I need while on the trail - maps, folding saw, tow rope, extra gloves, tools, etc.

One of my favorite movies "Jeremiah Johnson" starring Robert Redford was loosely based on his times as a mountain man. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it. The movie came out in 1972 and was directed by Sidney Pollack.

As stated above. Best to join a Wisconsin club, then trail passes are $10 going through the AWSC website (print receipt to used until passes/stickers are mailed to you)

6 inches plus already in St. Charles, Il. Schools are closed.

This is the latest forecasted snow accumulation through Sunday January 14. Looks like the southern 2/3 of Wisconsin, all of lower Michigan, eastern UP, and northern Illinois may be looking good.

Vilas is always hit or miss for trails being open and/or any good Christmas to New Years week, especially the lakes.

Looking great Paul....now, how can I get on your waiting list for a new garage. PI is not that far away. LOL

I agree 100%. Too many people don’t know how to ride right, worse than ever. Meet them on straight-aways and they come right down the middle.

I wear the Klim and have for 5+ years. Comfortable, easy to adjust if more/less layers required.

Cold won’t do any good without snow. Lakes and trails will be ice and/or frozen dirt. Road trails down to pavement/gravel. I left PI on Monday before rain and it was bad then.

I added the bite harder led light to my helmet this year as well. I usually lead and buddies behind have always complained that they can't see me when there's a lot of snow dust. The helmet light is super bright and runs off same cord as electric visor. Mine is red but comes in 6 different...

Can’t believe how many times in the last couple years, sleds coming toward me right down the middle of the trail and not moving over. This is on straight sections of trail and of course they are signally me with one hand how many sleds are behind them. Keep ur hands on the handle bars and move...

Live camera shot today shows open water as I suspected.
