Last March when we were in NE WI we came across a couple groups that had ridden over from MN. Pretty cool. We thought about heading into MN from there but there was so much snow in NE WI it seems like a waste. Less than 11 months ago, seems crazy how much snow there was.

Interested to hear reports from the Grand Lake area. We looked into it but ended up going to the Snowies, just because we couldn't find enough info about the area prior to going. Been to the snowies once before and knew what we were getting into, and didnt' want to chance a different area given...

We normally ride 4 or 5 days and have a general plan or loop in mind. I find it's better to be flexible because of conditions. Lots of times we'll book the hotel for the night when we're heading out for the day or when eating lunch. When we were younger and phones didn't get reception much, we'd...

I think we may try out Grand Lake next time we drag the trail sleds out that way. If money wasn't an issue I'd probably fly and rent. But was pleasantly suprised how the trails were at the Snowies, at least off the main paths by the parking area.

Just got back yesterday. Rode Thursday - Sunday. Stayed at the old corral. They got around 6" in Centennial the night we arrived so we rode up every day instead of trailering as most everyone else did (which makes sense as it's about 7 miles up which wouldn't be too fun on long track sleds). By...

That's funny. I remember having to sign your name to some tracking system so they could contact you in case that restaurant got exposed to the 'vid. I usually signed in as Gretchen Whitmer.

We booked at the snowies. Will arrive Wednesday night. Hopefully that gives them time to clean things up after the holiday weekend. We'll split our time on and off trail. With 137s obviously we aren't doing the true mountain riding but we had a good time out there about a decade ago on all 121s.

Hard to argue with that - but I haven't broken a single part this year...

When I bought a new 18 in 2019, and retired my 2006, I definitely noticed a difference in packing for trips without having to pack spare parts...

It's a hike but I think it's the only way we're going to ride this year. Was also looking at Quebec but conditions are just ok there and I'd rather not spend the travel time and extra money to go that way if conditions aren't up to normal there.

Looking at going West next week. We've been to the snowies (about 12 years ago) but another guy mentioned looking at Grand Lake area but I don't know anything about it. We've been out west renting and bringing our sleds. This trip will be with our trail sleds. Wondering if anyone here has some...

49r's had their chances. Think they had 2 3rd and 4th's - one towards the end of regulation and one in OT that they really needed to convert, and both got blown up on not covering a blitz.

I don't much about tug hill but that it's supposedly super busy. Beggers can't be choosers and all so I'll do some homework...

For this year I'd be ok with driving 20 hrs. We have 3 guys so not that big of a deal. Probably put in 5 or 6 after work and then eat a day traveling the next. Then drive straight through on the back end. Might have to get creative or we won't be spinning them at all. Hopefully it gets cold and...

I'm thinking maine or quebec. Not sure about AZ but I can't swing the rental costs out west this year at least.

Aint that the truth. The big dogs have never been so big.

We're planning on driving somewhere on the 21st. No idea where at this point.

Yes you can either download the maps or get a chip from him to install. You can use silicone to mostly waterproof them. https://www.snowtechmagazine.com/poormans-snowmobile-gps-solution/ I've seen people running smaller tablets or even their phones, but I think you'd have to find one that can...

Just depends on what you want to spend. In our group we have cheapo nuvi's with vv mapping trails on them. Garmin tread is on the other end of the expense side.

No interest. Had a 90's jeep for a long time that wasn't all that much different especially with the windshield down than the modern sxs' I've driven (although the jeep was a heck of a lot cheaper) and eventually got bored with it. If it doesn't snow this year, I'll ride next year. Or we'll...
