    EUP report!

    They do NOT have their liquor license and I don’t think they ever will get it. Previous owner transferred ownership to his son who is a felon and that’s why the state revoked their license allegedly. They are open however business sounds slower.

    EUP report!

    I was spot on. Trails were absolutely mint early this morning. Will write a report later.

    EUP report!

    They’ve been running 2-3 groomers daily for weeks. Just way too much traffic. I passed two groomers tonight and after 5 sleds you couldn’t tell. They run every trail twice on weekends, if you hit it early morning tomorrow guarantee it will be great.

    California wildfires

    You must be out of touch of the choices Newsom has made for his state regarding where he chooses to route fresh water, operation of his fire hydrants, and whom he’s placed in charge along with funding that has been cut… Not to mention there is video after video of criminals creating fires across...

    Many will likely relocate and rebuild in NV and AZ, and continue to vote the same way…

    Extended Forecast Looking Great.

    FWIW, bought a 600 ace that wasn’t ran last year and my dad bought a 600 etec that wasn’t ran last year. Couldn’t get the last couple gallons siphoned out. Little running on that gas and both sleds fouled plugs…

    Vilas County

    Agree, hoping they get 3-5” out of this clipper on Sunday so they can get out and roll it. Then one more clipper and they’re in business to at least open but would likely be poor. No one can do as much with little snow as Vilas clubs.

    Yeah, very unfortunate. Got off the phone a bit ago with acorn lodge and cancelled my Boulder junction trip in a couple weeks. The tone in the owners voice was not pleasant

    Going to need snowfall in the double digits to get them going unfortunately. Clipper coming thru Sunday MIGHT get them halfway there

    CF Moto/Artic Cat

    5 yr warranty’s were very standard on spring order snowmobiles from 2010ish-2020ish. When inflation skyrocketed after Covid, warranty lengths went on a major keto diet to save costs to try not to raise the price of the units at the same rate.

    Meh I’m not so sure it’s a cost of sled issue as much as it is a lack of snow. Under $10k budget sleds have always been around and they simply don’t sell unless the entire Midwest has great snow. You don’t go up to the UP chasing snow and find a bunch of Indy sp or doo sport 600s running around...

    ? TRAIL CONDITIONS ? - TWIN LAKES TRIP JAN 13 - 17

    There was more traffic in that area than they may have ever seen in history. Check out my EUP ride report in MISC topic. The trails got hit hard Friday and Saturday but the groomers got them all fixed up by Sunday. If riding mid week it’ll be great. Basically if you stay north of M28 anywhere...

    ? TRAIL CONDITIONS ? - TWIN LAKES TRIP JAN 13 - 17

    Yep, lots of misinformation about conditions in the WUP on bookface… few sources with large followings making people believe that because 1 town got X amount of snow, the entire WUP & Kee are good to go. There’s definitely people still stuck trying to ride out the conditions, but with how good...

    ? TRAIL CONDITIONS ? - TWIN LAKES TRIP JAN 13 - 17

    You would have much better conditions in Munising and to the east/northeast of there. Twin Lakes has great snow, but north of Calumet is almost unrideable and same with Ontonogan area, so you’d be pretty locked into riding trail 3 unfortunately. South boundary rd up to the porkies is alright...

    Munising Conditions

    I stayed in Munising this weekend, trails were great yesterday around Munising, did the trail 7/8 loop. I rode from Seney up to Grand Marais on Saturday as well. Little choppy with the traffic but tons of snow. If you’re riding mid week you’ll be in for a treat!

    Ski Doo 900 Ace

    Not too new of a sled then, all the pre gen 4 sleds were located there. Agreed, it’s not the funnest.

    EUP report!

    Plenty of ditch line there to run a groomed trail. A pure shame. There is a few rental properties along H58 there, so regardless there is sleds running everywhere up and down there. Hate to assume, but have a hunch the first few massive houses on miners castle rd may have played a part in this.
