Recently we were at an eatery for lunch that used to be just us during the week and the place was mobbed the sled parking area was a...

    Thawing out a sled?

    I think it’s what you’re used to dfattack thaws out sleds after every ride. Pclark and I keep covered sleds outside all season put on stand and warm up in reverse take off and ride. As SB said sun or above 32 completely melts them down. Rubber mallet takes care of any troublesome ice. It’s...

    How "fast" is trail 14 - Big Bay to L'Anse?

When you start left on Jack run gently in reverse slowly free front skis and your good...

    Something You Don't See Everyday

    What's the CO record size mountain lion size? What in the world would a cougar that size eat to survive in CO? Doggies not going to hack it.

    MI DNR Offer

    MI would go broke on $25 weekly permits then $100 per sled annual permit would deter lots of riders especially multiple sled owners.
