    Weather Website?

    Can you start a good o'fashion weather website that has the radars, 5-day, 10-day forecasts, current weather? Not these sites like Weather.com or Accuweather or Weatherbug or Weather Underground that keep giving me junk like the bluebottles washing ashore and stinging people because they are...

    Libby Flats?

    Going out to Albany Lodge over New Year's. First time out there and the son is coming along. Can anyone tell me where there are meadows to play in other than the Libby Flats? We want to play in the deep and not the steep. Thank you.

    What ever happened to the Iron Horse trail west out of Hurley

    I was looking over some old ('80's) trail maps and I remember the Iron Horse trail went from Superior to Hurley. Now it is a fragment of itself. I never heard way, but what caused so much of the old Iron Horse trail in Iron County to close down? That use to be such a nice trail to ride.

    What caused the lack of snow in the '50's & '60's

    Thank you for posting the climatology on your site. Briefly looking at it I noticed 13 years in the '50's and '60's saw snow totals less then 200 inches. The rest of the years he snow totals where in the low to mid 200 inches. There where no years where the snow totals exceeded 300 inches...

    Plastic molding?

    I need a new plastic base for a seat. The base was in many pieces when I removed the seat from the sled. I glued as much of the seat base as I could back together. I figure there is enough of the seat base for someone to make a mold from it and form a new part. The seat base is from a 1980...

    A little perspective on snowmobiling

    I have been snowmobiling since the late '70's and the first snowmobile I drove was my uncle's 1970 Mercury 250E. My family bought our first snowmobile in 1980 after Chicago's winter of 1979. Since that winter I have been paying attention to them and I never remember cold and snowy as the norm...

    7000 Cat Owners

    I have a new 7000. Which way can the sled be tipped onto its side? To the right, to the left or it doesn't matter? My prior 4s were a T660 which could not be tipped and a Phazer which could only be tipped in one direction. I can't find anything in the owner's manual telling me a direction...

    MI Trail Permit Status

    I remember part of the reason for increasing the cost of the MI trail permit to $45 was to purchase trail easements. Have any easements been purchased since the permit increase? Will there ever be a marked trail from Houghton to Chassell again? Just asking for a status.

    '86 400 Restoration Project

    Who does snowmobile restoration? I have an '86 Indy 400 with 100% of the parts; however, the speedo or tech (the exact one can be determined later) needs to be replaced and so does both trail arms (or welded because of some bottom rust). I would like this sled to look like showroom new as much...

    What would you do?

    If you had no restrictions for buying a new sled this year, i.e. the old sleds are sold and you have the cash, would you buy a new one now or hold out the season and spring order a sled?

    2.25" tracks, on trails

    Would running a 2.25 inch track be to much for Iron/Vilas County trails? What I mean, would I be burning through hyfax to fast? Possibly breaking the track paddles? I can think of many pros/cons, I just throwing out a feeler for more pros/cons. Thank you.
