Rider forward.

Good to hear. My 11 year old missed riding the past couple winters due to a few different issues, so I'm hoping it works out!

Long term forecast has me nervous. Taking the kids up President's Day weekend. A bit north of Eagle River. With the kids we mostly ride private land around the lake our relatives are on up there so we don't need a ton of snow, but I don't like all these high 30's!

Cat seems to get the under brand's cheerleaders' undies in a bunch for some reason. I think most would agree cat has fallen behind the past 3 or 4 years (at least). Hopefully this sled gets them some market share back so that they can have funds to continue to invest. Having 2 manufacturers...

Are these better to buy in person since they have different sized pads or something that should be fitted to your head? Thought I remember seeing that before.

Two bad games. Well the 2nd one was good but some of the calls were insane down the stretch. First time I watched pro football all year and I see why I didn't miss it.

We saw 3 cars stuck on trail last week in the UP. First was a couple teenagers and an honest mistake, just off a 4 way intersection. Kid called his buddy's dad who was out there with a truck and some shovels to try to get it out. We helped get that one out. Second was a Subaru way the heck off...

We rode all 3 of the trails that go up to Big Bay over the past week. All were in incredible shape, at least once you get a bit away from Lanse. It's my favorite part of the UP and favorite trails too. The one exception is on the furthest west trail, there were a group of college kids stuck on...

Great pics. Interesting your 850 is doing that much better on gas than a 22 650. Those old carb sleds are pigs!

Sure seems like it. Can't find anyone complaining about it. I've been wearing a cheaper CKX for a few seasons. Been a good helmet, but it doesn't have the moisture elimination like the Mission. If it's on the warmer side I don't use the neck guard and moisture goes out that way. But if it's...

Just seems to me the pass is a total bargain for people who ride a lot but expensive for someone who just rides up there a couple days. I definitely pinch my pennies to ride so not a snob by any means.

Don't worry, no one is putting me in charge of anything!

If it was up to me, I'd make the seasonal pass $100, with the extra money going towards easements and somehow enforcement of stopping some of the off trail riding, and then add a weekly pass for $25.

You aren't kidding. Plus the snow keeps getting deeper the further north you get!

Agree with that for anyone with a newer sled. I'd rather see a weekly pass than a free weekend. Family friends have a place near Eagle River. Get the old iron out over Christmas for visiting family. They would probably ride up to Gogebic etc but don't cross the border at $50/each for a day or two.

Since they increased the prices awhile back, I thought they should offer a weekly pass. I supported the increase as the extra funds were supposed to go towards purchasing trail easements, but if you have a family that gets all the old sleds out for a few days over Christmas break, it can add up.

I have them. Was in Ontario/Sudsbury area and a long way back to the truck on a cold morning after a warm day. It was a long day of riding with trying to get off the edge of the trail every so often to try to fight the temp gauge. I haven't had to use them all that much but it's nice when you...

We're supposed to head up on the 20th. The current forecast has me nervous. We're flexible on where we end up but it's staying warm everywhere it seems.

That is the truth. I'll never forgot my first trip to the UP. Was in high school, so older than your guy. But I was totally hooked after that. Amazing after you grow up riding farm fields.

That's great! Thanks for sharing. Here's a good part for sledders: Every path has a few puddles.
