    We were spoiled

    I follow him as well, and he is a snow lover. Love his enthusiasm, and love to see someone at a young age working hard at something they love!

    what was the latest start

    2012-2013 it wasn’t rideable in the northwoods hardly until the 3rd weekend of January. I remember being up there during a massive storm that weekend, and it wasn’t hardly rideable prior to that. We actually had better snow back home at that time. Once that 3rd weekend of January storm hit, the...

    ANY update on the Mosquito??

    There is an accepted offer, I don’t believe the deal has closed yet, but they’re awaiting the liquor license. To open

    Inline trailer loading

    This. Most logical, most space saving, plus on a cold morning when sleds don’t want to move, it’s much easier to shoot straight out the back than finagle them out the front, or trying to back them out.

    When You Were Fifteen...

    Rode sleds, wrenched on sleds, dreamed about sleds! Got into wrenching on trucks pretty heavily from 16-18 as well. Here was my sled at age 15 (back in 2010)

    12-3-23

    3” in Greenville (Appleton) of wet heavy snow. With temps in the low 30s and not an extremely frozen ground, the roads are melting quite easily.

    Today Is Opening Day For MI

    Not in the western, central, or the Kee. Heard the far eastern part of the UP might be close to rideable, but not great.

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    Here was my little dudes. Bought early 2019 winter for $600 (didn’t run, easy fix), sold end of 2020 winter for $1750. He was on the verge of outgrowing after 2 seasons. Kind of wish we kept just for him and his friends to tool around with in the yard even if he was too big for it.

    Mercer WI area info

    No meteorologist or scientist here, but my snow loving brain says it has something to do with the classic East-Northeast jet stream and possibly the geography of the great lakes affecting the jetstream. Quite often the winter temps are warmer in the northeastern corner of the state than the...

    Mercer WI area info

    I do not own property or live in the aforementioned counties, but having ridden or vacationed there over the years, along with the areas you originally were targeting, I felt the need to chip in. I as well have aspirations to own a vacation home and/or live in the northwoods some day (although...

    John Dee GoFundMe.

    The guy who started it, works at Route 12 Arctic Cat dealer. You could probably contact him to see if there’s any settings he could change to open it back up.

    Oil change kit for Ski Doo 900 ace

    I live 5 minutes from a distribution center. Man, is it convenient but boy oh boy is it annoying watching the trucks drive by all day! In the past month or 2, they have been converting the Greenville facility over to the new electric vans. Have to ask, are you seeing them up there by you guys...

    John Dee

    Been mulling this over all day and I’m not sure of all the right words to say, other than this generous man has had one heck of a positive impact on his own community, the snowmobiling community, and even my own life. Without him creating this site, I would not have met dozens of friends to...

    Ironwood to Copper Harbor - Jan 2024

    As of right now, you can’t get thru Wakefield legally so you’d have to drop down south into Wisconsin (it’s a long way around). Otherwise once around it’s straight running to your destination.

    What Will You Be Riding This Winter?

    No roof vent on this one! I did own a stealth 23 footer 6 years ago for 1 winter, and it didn’t have fuel doors. Not sure how much I’ll use them yet on this one, I usually like to fuel the sleds up before we get up north because gas is cheaper closer to home. Was always pretty easy to prop open...
