Well nothing wrong thinking about sleds. It will be 95 degrees in the middle of July and I will be thinking about sleds. I really do hope the new Cat is the real deal. Already stinks Yamaha called it quits but they called it quits years ago when they pretty much became Cat. It will be good for...

That was good thinking on your part they really seem to be discounting the sleds. Did you pick up a new Catalyst? Congratulations on the new ride. Next winter should be much closer to normal. Sounds like EL Nino should be out of here by early summer. We should have a neutral or possibly a LA...

Sounds like fun I am going to mark this on my calendar and check it out. Maybe some miracle we will get some snow and be able to ride there 🤔

Agree with what most have said on here. We have a RZR 1000 4 seater. It's ok to just get out there and bum around. The wife and mainly like the fall riding to get out and see colors. Way too much road riding around St.Germain and most of Vilas. It doesn't even compare to sledding for me...

Pretty much every year this is what they do in the beginning of the season. They have turn around areas at all the wet areas not to bury groomer. Most likely if we do get any snow yet this year the swamp areas won't be groomed at all this season.

Yeah hopefully we get that weather pattern change some are talking about,and hopefully it holds on a lot longer than the last one. Unfortunately at this point I think it's wait until next winter.

Indy order the tool that you can screw on to your QRS shaft that allows not to touch the chain case and it's a pretty simple job. I can have the whole shaft out in 5 minutes.The tool is also handy just to get the shaft out the way to do other work.

Yes this very true. I saw a mint Manta coming out of southern kettle moraine today. This thing looked show room new. Trails were pretty darn good but still can't believe I had to haul my sleds from Saint Germain to Elkhorn so I can ride but it was well worth it. We rode roughly 350 miles in 3...

If you are going with one of the 2 in this thread I would go with the 600. If it were me I would see if you can find a 14 or newer and get what they call the xs chassis. Much easier to get hood off to do maintenance. Some 13 came in the xs too.

Thank you for the update Mezz.

I feel some of your pain. This stuff is incredibly full of moisture. Imagine how deep it would be if it was a drier snow. We would of ended up with over 15". Tried to use snowblower earlier today I hear a clunk and see a black piece flying in the air . I pick it up and it's a piece of my auger...

I am afraid you are going to be correct. If you watch the radar it spins up that way and disappears. I was really hoping to get the 5-8 so that maybe trails could of opened up. It's not looking good on solid week of cold then back to the same pattern we have been stuck in all winter. 😤😡😡🤬

Time will tell if all the trails are down to dirt tomorrow then it wasn't if not then it was. There is not any frost in the ground. Warm wet snow and warm ground underneath is never a good combination for making a good trail base. Hopefully the cold air last night firmed it all up because if not...

Yeah they want the ground to firm up so it doesn't go straight down to mud. Wet snow and warm ground doesn't make for a good snowmobile trail.

Mezz hearing anything about lake effect totals up there?

Hopefully they hold off until tomorrow for McHenry. Let the cold come in first and firm it up. I think Walworth would of been smart to do the same thing. I am surprised Walworth opened they are normally smart about these kind of things

If you belong to a club which hopefully you do go to AWSC website and purchase for discounted pass. You can print receipt or do what I did and do a screen shot.

Around 6" so far in McHenry. Still coming down hard.love to see this spread out a lot more and go up north. There is a lot of effort in putting in the trails in northern IL and southern WI so it's going to be nice to see people out using the trails around here. I can't believe I am even thinking...

Total bust here so far. Was looking like some of the best trails in 3 years down here to trails not even opening. Hard to believe how easily they close schools now days. When I was a youngster in school they would wait until morning to make sure the weather guessers were correct. Then I would...

Probably a little early on to cancel this trip. I think the lake snow guns are going to be rolling by end of the week.
