As promised guys, ride report! Absolutely dumped lake effect snow all morning today (Sunday) Trailered up to Seney Saturday morning and took off up trail 43. It was absolutely mint all the way to the grade. Then jogged east on 88, mild chop from traffic then up 888/8 into grand Marais, choppy...

The Polaris app is inferior to the BRP app, I’m sure you’re aware ;)

Up here again. Holy man, what a zoo! Had to have been 200+ sleds in town in grand Marais today. Will give a detailed report when I get back.

13 from Greenland to Twin Lakes is closed due to a bridge being out from storms a couple years ago. There is currently a bridge on trail 3 not deemed strong enough to hold up the groomer, so there is a small few mile reroute around it, that uses a very small portion of the original trail 13...

Yeah, unfortunately looking like I will have to relocate my January 25 weekend trip from Boulder Junction into the UP LES belt…

There was still people riding grand Marais and Seney area yesterday surprisingly. With the incoming snow I think that area will be ok.

I hear ya. Sure do miss his insight. This graphic is from Midwest weather on Facebook. I am slightly concerned, that the GFS and Euro models aren’t picking up much yet, whereas the 2 large LES events earlier this month did.

This is all lake effect. Most weather stations or apps refuse to forecast it until a day or so before it starts. Keep in mind this is accumulative across a 5 day span.

But but but, LES possible later next week! Better work fast!

Yes, the breakwall, Lake Superior brewing Dunes saloon, and grand Marais tavern are all easily accessible by sled

I would stay in Grand Marais. Little extra drive, but one of the only towns in EUP that have multiple bars/restaurants (including breakfast) to choose from, nice gas station, etc.

After today, doesn’t look enjoyable. Multiple days of possible rain and sleet. Park em till after the new year

Yeah, we have a few inches on the ground here northwest of Appleton and it’s very soft and mushy today with 32ish degree temps, simply because the ground isn’t froze

Personally I think this is a problem with locals in his specific area… a number of years ago I stopped some young teenage kids running rampant in the fields south of Mass towards Rousseau, right next to the stay on trail signs. Their response “we’ve always ridden here” and took off

The areas with the deepest snow depth will hold, but would likely need some fresh on top after these handful of mild days are over. The base the eastern UP has is incredible. The rain/warm temps a week ago helped solidify their base and should last them all season. Cold weather is supposed to...

That’s the glovebox extension with heated cellphone holder. I keep my phone plugged in and use the Polaris app for trail maps. I then bring my old phone along to take pictures. Great setup! But pricey

Did 80 miles this morning on some of the most ridiculously smooth trails I’ve ever ridden in my life! We even ran trail 8 between 888 and 89 3 times because it was so darn fun! Sad we have to leave.

Yep, was just me and the woman this trip, I did bring up the little man’s 600 ace to test out and I’m glad I did as it has a major misfire issue… Rode southwest from GM this morning then headed towards Seney and took 440 instead of 43. Both are EXCELLENT trails. Then when we crossed M77 started...
