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

    Langlade, Oneida, Vilas trail conditions.

    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.

    Ride Light

    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...

    2 Dead in Vilas Co... Thursday

    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...

    St.Germain to porcupine Mtn and back

    I like Tim in Indiana's route...except on the way back you could get off Lake Gogebic on he south end and take 100 a little east to 13 south to the Cisco Chain down to Bent's Camp...then work your way south to Star Lake to Sayner and back to St. Germain. That way you're making a complete loop.

    Gogebic area

    I hear you about the FRs, but it seems everyone knows about those these days and they're rougher than the trails...LOL. I had heard that Gogebic Area Grooming was housing a groomer in Marinesco these days, but that doesn't seem to be the case as these trails are as bad as I've seen them.

    Comparing BRP Helmets

    For me, I had the Mod 3 prior in xxl and my Mission helmet is also an xxl and fits perfect. I was able to try on in person and purchase at Nielsen Enterprises in Lake Villa, Il. Pricing was same/similar as I could get it online.

    Gogebic area

    Why is it that the south end of Gogebic area seems to be neglected from consistent grooming compared to other parts of the area. I'm talking about trail (102/1?) from south end of the lake to Marenisco and especially Marenisco to the Wisconsin border as well as trail (13) from the south end of...

    Comparing BRP Helmets

    Mission helmet is $470 w/o electric shield and $540 w/ electric shield at Dennis Kirk. It's a fantastic helmet, I've had mine for over a year now. No snot mask and works fine with or without the electric shield as has been mentioned in many threads on this site.

    Interesting Observation

    I’ll stop if it’s a single or two riders and a mechanical issue. If there are multiple riders , I figure they have it figured out.

    Interesting Observation

    No different than always has been imo. Your always going to see less on the trails, you’re only going one direction. If you sat somewhere and watched both ways, you’d see twice as many, lol.

    Thawing out a sled?

    Why do you need to thaw them out? I have the same situation, never thawed them. Store with rear suspension on a stand to get track off the ground. Next time you ride, lift and drop the back end of the sled a couple times to break up any ice and should be good to go. Never had a problem in...

    Hillar radar runs canceled

    Surprised they would pull the plug on this now for feb 3,4. Cold temps predicted in the next several days, especially cold by later next week.

    BRP Exome Radiant Helmet

    Don’t get the anti-electric shield in reading through this. I have the mission helmet with the electric shield knowing that if for some reason it quit working I’m still good. I had a mod 3 before that with an electric shield and carried the snot mask in my pocket in case the electric shield...

    Manitowish Club Groomer is down

    That stretch of trail includes a lot of swamps. Usually not groomed in early season until frozen up good.
