    Vilas 1/31 ride

    In 79 I was 21 years old, the scene looks pretty familiar and I would say it may be over by Bauers Dam. I remember many rides with snowmobiles that looked like the ones in this picture. Funny how trail reports on this website bring back memories of the past.

    2 Dead in Vilas Co... Thursday

    RIP to both families, hate to hear this, we rode 780 miles this week and I was really glad to get home tonight before all the traffic started. We came through Mercer at around 5pm and it was really cranking up with sleds every where. It's 20 miles home from there for me and I felt really good...

    We ran into 40 miles of this today and most of our day only had a couple of tracks before ours. Total miles was 167, left at 10am, -9 degrees, home at 5pm and it was +15 degrees. Beautiful day to be out on the trails

    Off trail riding on the local news

    Tim, I live in Manitowish Waters and you have described the situation pretty well. Winman is 6 miles from us and very popular, even I did not realize that the snowmobile trail to PI runs through their property so I learned something today. And yes, the 5 towns of MW, PI, BJ, Winchester, and Plum...

    Road closure around the LDF reservation

    Not if you are an American Indian......they cook a lot of meth as well and spear fish during spawning. It's in their agreement with the state.

    Off trail riding on the local news

    Yep, it's happening and really gaining steam up here with these off trail riders. There is another one in St. Germain, I don't know where, heard it on the news. Landowners are pissed so they will most likely not grant permission next year. The losers don't care, they just go somewhere new and...

    Epic GPS fail? Or just plain stupidity…

    Last week saw a car half way up a trail on a hill with a bunch of sledder trying to get him out. The sign at the bottom of the hill says "Road Closed, take Diamond road" right in the middle of the road at the bottom of the hill. It is a road that is closed in the winter to accomodate the trail.

    Eagles dominated a good defense and made them look silly, didn't see that one ending that way.

    When you ride in town

    If I am reading this correctly, you are a landowner and this is why landowners close trails, if I had this happening everyday I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have as much patience as you do after hearing that is is constant day by day and into the night. After re-reading the post I guess the issue is...

    Snowmobiler hit by Car

    Please stop completely and look before proceeding!, the issue up here is that the snowbanks are so high drivers of vehicles can't see the snowmobiles and if that is happening then the sleds can't see the cars. Had a guy today in Minocqua come to a rolling stop right infront of my truck, he was...

    It will matter next week when things are going to get cold. The trails will set up hard next week so that little bit of lubrication is needed. Next week will be the coldest weather of the year so far, highs in low single digits, lows maybe -20 here in MW. We have been spoiled so far with a...
