    Munising Snow/Radar

    It seems like every day, the radar is showing some kind of LES falling in the Munising area. Can someone tell me if this is really happening? It seems like there would be three feet by now.

    Whitedust/Conditions

    Are lakes freezing up up north? What about the swamps? It seems like it's been pretty cold overnight. Just wondering. There hasn't been snow but maybe the ground is freezing?

    River Rand Yamaha Des Plaines, Illinois

    Anybody remember this place? It's been out of business for several years but today they are tearing the building down. I used to go there to check out new sleds when they came in but I would never buy there. The sales guys all had attitudes. Still, one less dealer in my neck of the woods.

    Question

    After you guys do all this work to restore these sleds, are they worth anything? To each his own, but I had some of these old junks and I was happy to get rid of them (Polaris TX and old Arctic Cat Jags). At the snow shows, they draw very little interest. Vintage rides might be ok, but the...

    Thoughts on Riding Next Weekend?

    Temps look to be in the high 30's and low 40's for President's day weekend. We have a group ready to ride, but I really have had enough bad riding this year. Who is riding and who is cancelling?

    Snowfalls this Winter

    Is it just me or has every storm come in lower than expectations?

    Smashed sled at Nielsen's

    Just saw a smashed Doo near the service door at Nielsen's. The rear end was pushed inward and the top of the sled from the handlebars up was smashed downward. It's like it got rear ended and pushed under a truck. I wonder what happened.

    What do You do for a Living?

    Just wondering how we make our sled money. Maybe we can even create some business contacts. Who knows? I'm a maintenance worker for a Village/suburb of Chicago. I repair just about anything in three fire stations, a police station, or any municipal property. I also have a cdl and can plow with...

    Illinois Tollways/Driving from Chicago

    In case you didn't notice, tolls went up again for those of us with passenger vehicles towing trailers (one axle or two=same). It now costs me $17.85 in tolls ONE WAY to get from basically O'hare airport to the border at Beloit, Wi. Total and utter theft. If I get on I-94 at Golf road and take...

    VRBO and Homeaway

    Anybody else use these places for lodging rentals? I have for a while, but I think I've had enough. Every time I book something it seems as if there is a new fee. Now they are charging the renter a "service fee" of 6% of the total rental. Some places have cleaning fees, huge damage deposits...

    Are These Desirable/Collectible for Vintage Guys?

    I go to flea markets in the Chicago area, and twice now I have seen really cool old gas cans for snowmobiles. I forgot what the first one was but today I saw a John Deere can in really good shape. Just wondering if I should snag these things and pass them on to guys from the board?

    I Miss Weasels

    Well, I don't miss the clown behind the microphone, but I miss the place. The Frontier on Sunday night had some entertainment that wasn't totally fit for viewing. Between the cover charge, the drink prices and the size of their performers, I think they are pushing their limits.

    So Where's All this LES I'm Hearing about?

    Just strange that there are very few reports.

    No Snow in Finland either

    I was watching the World Junior Hockey tournament from Finland this morning and the broadcasters mentioned that the ground is green there, which is very rare for Finland at this time of year. El Nino is kicking everyone's butt.

    Kudos to Michigan DNR

    Long story short, I put my trail pass on top of old stickers on a cold night. It fell off and I lost it. I had the receipt and paperwork from the gas station I bought it at. I stopped at the DNR station in Escanaba, and the nice lady at the desk called Headquarters and they approved a refund by...

    7 Days No Snow

    It's now 7 days since a snowfall report has been posted. It is also Jan 15th and trails across central Wisconsin haven't even opened. Pretty bummer of a year for those of us who enjoy riding these areas.

    What do You Carry Your Gear in?

    For years I've been stuffing my gear in giant duffel bags that I bought at the snow shows. It works, but I was wondering if it would be easier to get a big Rubbermaid tote or something like that and just put it all in there. Any thoughts?
