    Grooming history

    Growing up in Burnett County my dad worked for the county and was one of the people who helped establish the first trails in that area. I remember them grooming in the late 60's/early 70's with a bull dozer pulling a drag. And they had a ski doo Alpine (?) single ski/twin track that they pulled...

    Grand Lake Colorado information

    My son has spent the last two weekends in West Yellowstone and has said its getting real good. I am heading that way next Wednesday. We do mostly off trail riding but he said trails to get there have been good. I'd like to try Grand lake sometime also.

    A Thought Provoking Drive

    Back in a previous career I made way to many trips to Roseau. But since I haven't worked for Polaris since 2001 it would be fun to see it again. The only saving grace about those trips though is we always flew. Did a lot more trips to the plant in Spirit Lake Iowa where we made the bikes. Very...

    Well I will be riding Christmas to New Years

    Emjoy it! That's my next bike. Got my Scott Spark when I turned 50 and said I'd get another full squish at 55 and then go to the ebike at 60. Well, I'm 56 and will be 57 next summer and didn't get the bike at 55 so maybe I split the difference and go to the e bike next summer. Saw one this year...

    Avid Extrovert Drivers

    Thinking about putting these on my 2021 850 SKS. Has anybody done these on their sled. I have to run my track super tight to avoid ratcheting. Thanks!

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    Of all sleds the 120's are the only ones to hold their value. We bought a year old one back in 2004 at HayDays for $1200 and sold it to some friends in 2012 for $1200 and then he sold it in 2019 maybe for $1200 and had a bunch of people wanting it. Crazy. Our son put ton of miles on that sled.

    Winter Tires

    On my F150 I had AT tires and ended up backwards on the freeway with a loaded 20' trailer. Found a guy selling a set of Blizzaks on steel rims and bought them. What an amazing difference. Felt way more comfortable, even on ice, and they did an awesome job in snow. The biggest advantage I see to...

    I read some reports online that the Finland MN area got between 6-12" depending on who you ask. Early start but it'll be nice for MN deer hunters this weekend.

    What Will You Be Riding This Winter?

    Still running my 21 850 SKS. Polaris isn't making the SKS anymore so I'm not sure what my next sled will be, Plan to order a new one next spring so we'll see.

    How was your camping season?

    It was very comfortable to have at Hay Days. Love the amount of room in it, very comfortable bed. We get a stunning 8 mpg towing it. But that is better than towing our last camper with our F150, that was closer to 7 mpg.

    Where were you 21 years ago Today?

    I was driving into Mpls/St Paul to visit a supplier. Heard about the first one on the radio as I was driving in and they thought it was an accident. Then as the radio team watched the second one hit it became clear what was going on. Then traffic was stopped on I94 right at the 494/694...

    Hay Days this year

    It was a great weekend. Had nothing to really look for so I mostly just browsed. Bought a couple of shirts, wife bought some jam in the swap meet, hung out with friends, and enjoyed the show. I thought crowds were maybe down a bit on Saturday and the Sunday crowd is always very light so thats...
