It's a bummer that the trails are closing again early this year...but i did get some riding in this weekend...and it was a mixed bag...yesterday was actually really good...white, smooth trails and they were hard...some ice in the corners...a few wet spots..but decent...today...melting fast..more...

100 percent...making bigger, faster more expensive machines, and forgetting about the low cost, family machines...now all of them reintroduced low end models in the last 5 years.....but they arent selling well...and imo it's too late...we skipped an entire generation of potential riders...lost...

All of us old guys grew up doing this as a family sport....and we had the "family" feeling out riding with friends and club members...that has disappeared....it's become a rich person, spoiled kid sport (there are 16 year old kids riding newer, nicer sleds than I have)...unfortunately...

Yes....calling the clubs "LAZY" pissed me off......it's not the work that's getting to me...it's the people...snowmobilers are not what they used to be....I have seen more entitled snobs, and arrogant jerks this year than ever before...it's sickening...believe me...I've asked myself...

There is nothing strange about it....we had Wednesday night , and Thursday to brush 275 miles of trails...some trails looked like a tornado went through, so many downed trees that it was impassible....hours and hours of work, an impossible task to get done in a day and a half (they gave us...

LAZY CLUBS??? How stupid are you?? We've had 4 crews cutting and brushing since the storm ended....lots of trees down, and some serious wet areas (from the rain before the snow).....it's ignorance like this that absolutely pisses me off....GET YOUR ASS OUT THERE and start brushing...CLOWN!!!

I ended up with 8 1/2 in nokomis

There is no word yet...its ugly out there..many many trees down...like I said..heavy wet snow can be a blessing and a curse.

Unfortunately getting " definitive answers" is difficult to do....too many trees down, and lots of slush, and puddles on the lakes...its a mess..one area is fine another looks like a bomb went off...by the time we'd get everything cleared it might be too late. While getting a wet heavy...

This is in Oneida...check out the cross country cruisers post on facebook

Just heard from our club president...lots of "debris" (trees down on trails)...if we can get them cleared..there is a possibility they could open...but it's a mess right now

rain changed to snow here at 9PM last night (Nokomis area)...6 1/2 inches at 7am, and still snowing lightly..wet heavy stuff...lots of slush

There is 4-6 inches in the Tomahawk area...more to the north (I had 6 1/2 in the Nokomis area at 7AM)...wet heavy stuff, lots of slush under neath....and still snowing lightly...supposed to get more...but so far no word from the county on what the plan is....expecting temps in the 40's by...

it's currently raining....the lakes are a mess...solid ice, but lots of water and slush on top...wet heavy snow will make it really slushy out there...Winter Storm Warning for late today, into tomorrow...I guess we'll see what happens

MIGHT not be enough to open trails though.......I have people already calling me, saying they are coming up when the trails reopen Friday....and I have to burst their bubble and tell them that's not a given....some may open, some may not..Vilas has a better chance of reopening than Oneida...

100 PERCENT!!!....I never would have opened in the first place...they never had a proper base on them....pressure from the Minocqua area pushed them to open and it was WRONG. Minocqua and Eagle River are tourist traps, that relay mostly on tourism...they do not care if you ride dirt...their...

What's BS? Protecting our land owners? Making sure trails are safe? I can't speak for Vilas County...but We've been doing it this way a long time..with very few issues. Unfortunately Mother Nature didn't cooperate this year, nor last year....we can't control that....But what we will do is try...
