There have been many times when I intently listened to John's forecast when conditions were bleak as they are now. The one thing I remember that gives me hope for the upcoming season is his philosophy that when things were unusually steady(mild) as they are now they have a better chance of...

Kevin Beilke wrote a great piece about his grandson's first sled and trail ride. Reminds me of that time with my son. I'll never forget it and neither will he. Good stuff.

I checked the AC '24 website at about 4pm yesterday to finally see the MSRPs for all models. I guess MSRPs don't mean squat when all Catalyst models were indicated as being sold out. The unobtainium syndrome continues in the snomo biz. This business model may work for the manufacturers but for a...

'03 is my pick. Rev, RX1, Firecat. Big year for the industry.

Ok sled heads. Tell me the most significant year in modern snowmobiling. It's pretty obvious to me . I'll post my opinion after a few responses

As a member of the Bo Boen club do you know how much the insurance cost is to put on the event? Probably not. I have a friend who lives on the West bay and have been on the ice there myself this season. It's is not what you would call "good ice". Think about physics of putting that many people...

Had a hard time finding any bumps. Great ride. Thanks to all club members and groomers that made the trails so...

7 inches here in Elkhorn WI

I saw this today on the Keweenaw groomer report "Trail 3 from Clear Lk Junction to Copper Harbor is closed for logging." Anyone have any other info. I wanted to take my son up to Brockway this year.

Just wondering how big of a difference there is between the 153 track and a 146 track regarding trail manners. Any opinions would be welcome and helpful thank you.

I'm sure it's thin but is it passable without abusing the equipment?

We'll be up there in a week and just wondering if it's any good south of the Superior Club grooming turnaround by the powerlines.
