    The Groomer Guy has retired!

    Hopefully they talk him in to grooming in Sudbury. I'm sure they could use his expertise there, although I know his family responsibilities take up his time these days.

    Snow Boot sizing

    They did, and the original team stayed on and cat put some money into it and it grew quite a bit, but everyone got canned by textron and they outsourced it to powertex. I knew a couple people in it (one came from klim and another from polaris) and other than the dumb name I've liked all the gear...

    Snow Boot sizing

    Motorfist. The one with the higher amount of insulation. I have a pair of motorfist boots, but the lower insulated ones. Kind of like klim adrenaline/arctic, so I'd have one with more and one with less insulation. I'm going to get them back out and walk around a bit but I'll probably pass. I got...

    2025 Sleds

    https://snowgoer.com/news/polaris-announces-long-list-of-updates-and-focus-on-quality/32282/ All the powertrain updates make me wonder what issues they've been having. And I tend to like Polaris so not hating on them.

    Snow Boot sizing

    Random question - but we don't have a whole lot to talk about these days in seems... Wondering how you much bigger you usually go with snow boots compared to your regular shoes. Most of my shoes are size 12, and I normally buy boots or hiking shoes in 13s for thicker socks and also because I...

    Squatters Rights

    Property rights are one of the foundations to a free society. Initially it was "life liberty and property" instead of "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Squatters rights goes directly against that, which is why certain groups encourage it.

    Start em young!

    That's great. I mentioned in another thread but I think I'm getting a 900 from a relative. It will be mainly for the kids with the eco mode but I could see myself taking it on a saddlebag trip on Ontario or Quebec too to keep the gas costs down. Also, my cheapest sled to own was the one I...

    saddle bag trips?

    Last March when we were in NE WI we came across a couple groups that had ridden over from MN. Pretty cool. We thought about heading into MN from there but there was so much snow in NE WI it seems like a waste. Less than 11 months ago, seems crazy how much snow there was.

    Grand Lake Colorado information

    Interested to hear reports from the Grand Lake area. We looked into it but ended up going to the Snowies, just because we couldn't find enough info about the area prior to going. Been to the snowies once before and knew what we were getting into, and didnt' want to chance a different area given...

    saddle bag trips?

    We normally ride 4 or 5 days and have a general plan or loop in mind. I find it's better to be flexible because of conditions. Lots of times we'll book the hotel for the night when we're heading out for the day or when eating lunch. When we were younger and phones didn't get reception much, we'd...

    Snowies or Grand Lake?

    I think we may try out Grand Lake next time we drag the trail sleds out that way. If money wasn't an issue I'd probably fly and rent. But was pleasantly suprised how the trails were at the Snowies, at least off the main paths by the parking area.

    Snowies or Grand Lake?

    Just got back yesterday. Rode Thursday - Sunday. Stayed at the old corral. They got around 6" in Centennial the night we arrived so we rode up every day instead of trailering as most everyone else did (which makes sense as it's about 7 miles up which wouldn't be too fun on long track sleds). By...

    It’s not over!

    That's funny. I remember having to sign your name to some tracking system so they could contact you in case that restaurant got exposed to the 'vid. I usually signed in as Gretchen Whitmer.

    Snowies or Grand Lake?

    We booked at the snowies. Will arrive Wednesday night. Hopefully that gives them time to clean things up after the holiday weekend. We'll split our time on and off trail. With 137s obviously we aren't doing the true mountain riding but we had a good time out there about a decade ago on all 121s.

    Cats New Motor

    When I bought a new 18 in 2019, and retired my 2006, I definitely noticed a difference in packing for trips without having to pack spare parts...

    Snowies or Grand Lake?

    It's a hike but I think it's the only way we're going to ride this year. Was also looking at Quebec but conditions are just ok there and I'd rather not spend the travel time and extra money to go that way if conditions aren't up to normal there.

    Snowies or Grand Lake?

    Looking at going West next week. We've been to the snowies (about 12 years ago) but another guy mentioned looking at Grand Lake area but I don't know anything about it. We've been out west renting and bringing our sleds. This trip will be with our trail sleds. Wondering if anyone here has some...

    Game today?

    49r's had their chances. Think they had 2 3rd and 4th's - one towards the end of regulation and one in OT that they really needed to convert, and both got blown up on not covering a blitz.

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    I don't much about tug hill but that it's supposedly super busy. Beggers can't be choosers and all so I'll do some homework...
