    3/13

    Another 3-4” on top of the 2-3” that fell by 7pm last night in Greenville WI (NW Appleton). Gotta be getting close to our yearly snowfall record, and of course the trails never opened once…

    Munising and East?

    Any trail updates on how they’re holding up in Munising and to the east, Seney, Newberry, Grand Marais? I have never been to this area, little man has off school Friday and we all took vacation to go to minocqua. With 3/4” of rain coming to northern WI and western UP, I’m thinking they won’t...

    Groomer drag set too deep?

    Thought I’d bring up a discussion point, as I know there are a handful of groomer drivers on this site. Before I begin, I am in NO WAY trying to trash a club, that does so much for the snowmobile community, and puts up with likely the most traffic in the state. Me and the woman just finished up...

    Langlade, Oneida, Vilas trail conditions.

    Just completed a backpack trip with the Woman up to Eagle River. We left antigo Saturday around 11am, took the shortest route along hwy 45 up to Pelican lake, and then swung west, stayed shy of Rhinelander and up through Sugar camp. Was 100 miles this way. Everything was soft but in decent...

    Vilas goodness!

    Get it while it’s good! Spent Thursday-Sunday in St Germain after 10” fell Wednesday into Thursday. Hit most of the western half and central part of Vilas county, did a night ride down to lake tomahawk as well, and rode nothing but excellent trails all weekend. 250 miles this weekend, maybe 10...

    1/19/23

    Over 3” now in Greenville Wi. Been at work in Appleton for an hour already, snowblowed 2-3” at 4am, might be pushing 4” at the rate it’s coming down. Hopefully the total doubles!

    What is going on

    A second Skidoo found its way into my garage. Guess that’s what happens when Polaris’ equivalent sled is over $3k more! Should be fun

    4” of fluff so far in Greenville WI, still snowing a bit, going to blow everywhere when the winds get goin!

    4” in Greenville WI. On the lower end of projected totals but a good start.

    Anybody gearing up for the opener?

    Anyone have plans to ride next week(end)? Have a hotel booked for Ironwood next weekend to do some trail riding. Hoping the conditions improve next week, or will be a no-go. This little warm spell isn’t going help matters either, hope it works out as we’re pumped to ride! Figured I’d share a...

    Riding 2-up on a renegade w/1+1 seat-comfortable?

    Hey everyone, sold my trail ripper a couple years ago. Last couple years I’ve been riding my 2000 Polaris Touring 600 when I trail ride, whether I have the not so little man on the back or not. I would say he’s with me 2/3 of the time. He is a big 9 yr old (almost 10) at 5’2” 140-145 lbs plus...

    Holy Vilas Traffic!

    Well, figured I’d give a little report. Stayed in Minocqua this weekend, and couldn’t believe the traffic everywhere we went, still got to ride plenty of great trails despite! Saturday morning left The Waters on the lake and headed through Woodruff and Arbor Vitae on our way to St Germain. They...

    It’s deep guys!

    Well, the lake effect snow machine has been turned on full blast the last 2 weeks in the snow belts of the western UP and the Keweenaw! Tons of consistent 4-8” snows that have flown under the radar, to the point everyone I’m telling doesn’t believe me. I was up last Sunday, it nuked snow all day...

    The good and the bad

    Well, yanked the mountain sled yesterday up to the UP and boy am I glad it did! They got an unspoken of foot in the last 5 days, and while riding yesterday it was bombing snow ALL DAY! My guesstimate is 4-6” just yesterday while we were riding, and who knows it could’ve snowed all night for all...

    2022 sucks!

    The woman’s 15 Indy 600 bit the dust yesterday just shy of 11,000 miles. I suspect pretty major damage, and sold it as a whole in less than 24 hrs from blowing it up. But, as we all know, there is NOTHING to buy, new or used! Looking for anything 121-137 Polaris 600, Doo 600 etec, or Doo 900...

    Something positive? - A 2 month late post and some advice for the crippled

    As a lot of things happening around the country and world today cause a lot of frustration to many on this forum, myself included, figured I’d share a more positive - sort of - post. I shared a couple months ago about my plans to go out west and never really followed up with anything about my...

    12-30-20

    3” here just west of Appleton. Was hoping for more like 5-6”. If everyone gets out and pans, and we pick up another 3-4” on Friday the local trails could most likely open up!

    Capital Gain Tax

    Not your typical question on here but need some help as I’ve gotten 10 different answers via google, and everybody I talk to has a different answer, time is pretty short handed here to talk to a tax guy with coaching 2 baseball teams so figured I’d ask on here. I just got an accepted offer on my...

    2021 Polaris

    And go! From my first half hour of looking, looks like they dropped the 800 completely, minimized the 600 sleds (including the pro ride Indy 600), came out with an all new 650 patriot motor which seems like the perfect powerplant for a trail sled, released the all new Matryx chassis Vr1 sleds...
