    Creeping up on 10 years since that awesome trip! Man times flies! Still to date my favorite trip and one I’ll remember forever.

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    Don’t disagree, but that doesn’t sell new sleds every year, and not selling new sleds is precisely why cat is in the toughest situation of the 3 brands (all 3 are definitely hurting though)

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    I guess the negativity towards cat from most sledders seems pretty simple to me… they have been shooting themselves in the foot for nearly 15 years by not giving customers what they want. That’s it. That’s why there is negativity. It doesn’t make sense to most sledders why they refused to bring...

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    BRP laid off 120 people total yesterday across 3 different plants in Quebec. Guessing the other surprise you’re talking about is John Deere.

    Been hearing a lot of chatter about CF Moto buying them out from Textron.

    Another oldie I remembered. Mr. Freeze. Not sure he actually chummed with anyone on this site, posted a decent amount about trail conditions but not a ton otherwise because he was so busy riding ridiculous amounts of miles per year! I don’t think I’ve seen him on here in at least 10 years

    Many of the members you listed, I’m friends with on book face and they no longer ride. Garyl62 was very active for a handful of years, haven’t seen him on here in awhile. Cuzzinolaf and Thebreeze used to post a ton as well. Still both have sleds, just don’t ride nearly as much due to various...

    Can’t confirm, but I believe one of the longtime members or originators of team Kesslers was killed a month ago in a murder suicide (acted on by the girlfriend). Sad story. Name was Vito Schwartz. Used to run into those guys often 10 years or so ago around Mass City, but never got to know them...

    Majority of guys I know that have drifted off were because they got out of the sport, or because they use other forms of social media instead of discussion forums. Been on here since 2007 and I can count on 1 hand the amount of guys who’ve left over a conversation on here they didn’t like. Not...

    Extended Forecast Looking Great.

    Here’s an updated snow cover map. Keep in mind these totals were taken before a lot of the lake effect snow had time to settle. A foot of system snow in Sconnie is a way better base for trails than 2 feet of blower in the yoop, which has to cover up the rocky terrain.

    Extended Forecast Looking Great.

    Eek. I’ve been following snowfall and condition reports with a microscope since the snow started falling. Unless you enjoy running up and down trail 3 from Mass City to Houghton you’re going to be greatly disappointed. 13 loop is closed, I heard rockland gets thin with water spots, ontonogan is...

    3-5” late Sunday/Monday in Vilas

    While I do agree about forecast models far out in advance (10+ days), when I posted the totals it was only a handful of days out ore less, and both models were dead on in agreement, which is rare, so my optimistic mind said, get ready, it’s comin!!

    3-5” late Sunday/Monday in Vilas

    I do recall some mister named Mezz that told me we wouldn’t see anywhere close to the totals that I shared on here :D

    Heere Meester Bleezard!

    Here’s the snowfall reports from the NWS so far. Notice NNE Ironwood shows 27” and W Ironwood shows 9”. In all my years following snowfall this seems to be the norm.

    Heere Meester Bleezard!

    They have double that northeast of Ironwood from Bessemer to the Porkies. Munising to Seney area, and to the north of M28 also sitting around 15-18”. NWS just shared this for additional snowfall till Sunday. GFS and Euro also showing a good amount later next week in most snow belt areas. Just...
