See attachment in my previous post above for the numbers. AWSC was about 57K, which was on par. DNR had not released their out of state and non-club passes. I would assume both of those would be better then the last couple seasons. Stormy, the office manager, noted in the Winter meeting the two...

There was support from both sides. I believe Voss killed it. Not certain if that is legal or able to have an increase every year 2 years. Sorry, not certain. Everyone was confident in next year, but we do need people to call their legislators at that time. And another season where we will be...

Some weekend updates from AWSC convention. The new funding bill died before the floor. We will try again next January. It passed the committees. Assembly pulled it right before the floor. Sam feels like there were key uninformed legislators. If they understand this program is self funded, it...

Ignorance is bliss. :) We all see things through our own eyes, but I'm literally telling you our clubs issues and you're telling me it's ok? Quite the take... You might be ok up North, but we are not down here. And we're not alone. Indy - We're in different times now. That's what I'm trying to...

Sam and the legislative team did a great job with the new funding bill. I'll get more updates this weekend at the AWSC convention, but it looks like the bill is still in the Senate. https://fastdemocracy.com/bill-search/wi/2025-2026/bills/WIB00015488/ Here's some more info on the Bill that was...

Indy's response about letting the retired folks take care of it, is a problem. I'm not trying to pick on you, but that is the exact attitude of why we cannot get volunteers. I'll just let someone else take care of.... I know you tried in the past with your local clubs, but there are other clubs...

Very well said! We unfortunately are witnessing the slow demise of our sport. The work put in by many of the clubs is phenomenal. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication. And for what? These are the same issues we are dealing with in the Southern part of the state. And we hardly open trails...

We had a great time on Friday! My 7 year old boy had never been to any ig race, and he loved it! He wanted to get as close to watch the 200 races. (y)They had plenty of snow:ROFLMAO: he did say the year before was like watercross..

Vilas trails looked very good Friday afternoon/night from the road view. It was very eerie driving past Sayner pub with all that fresh snow, and not one single snowmobile there. We drove from Mercer over to Eagle River to check out the races. I noticed the softer snow we walked on in the...

Thanks for all your reports this year! I was only able to ride them once this year, and attended Holly's radar runs. Happy to put some money towards the clubs!

That's the crazy thing about the N. WI snowbase this year. Living off those big systems over a month. Here in Portage, we have received 3" of snow since 12/10! Very disappointing(again). We've had two good years(2019 & 2023, trails open for more then 3 days) in 15 years. All these model runs...

Travis has been my go to for awhile. I used to watch Ryan Hall, but Travis shows more model runs, and uses AI to blend some of the models together.

It's a very scenic and twisty trail! It's a long one though. I think 50-60 miles starting and stopping in Hurley. 2 spots are worth stopping for. The bald mountain overlook/teepee up there. The pic of my boy was on St. Patty's day 3 years ago. He loved it and wanted to stay longer! The other...

I just checked my notes. The Legislative committee from the AWSC was the one that recommended this change in late 2023. This was something discussed in the director's meetings by various people. Everyone agreed that was something we need to invest more money into, for the safety and enforcement...

AWSC increased the DNR enforcement fund to $600K this year. Good to see! Last weekend, about 2 miles north of Bottoms Up Bar, I came out of the woods and there were 2 DNR agents with a couple pulled over. Not the best location to sit. They must have seen the guy and chased him down. My best...
