    Boots on the ground say lube snow is scarce in Vilas today. What are riders experiencing Eagle River to Sidnaw. I’d like to ride all next week but WI buds say not good no lube for hyfax and cooling. JD forecasts not showing much snow at all. Maybe repeated grooming can break up hardpack for...

    What’s Happening With AC & Yamaha?

    Just read my September Snow Tech mag and they were very frank about the future of 2021 snowmobile divisions and the decisions Textron and Yamaha must make. It is clear only a few inner circles of upper management at Textron and Yamaha really know what will happen. Dealers have no idea neither do...

    LES Shutting Down?

    Local weather forecasters are starting to minimize the ability for Superior to produce LES due to massive lake ice. They see 1-3 inchers now and then but no massive dumps. Are LES dumps on hold now or can other factors still turn on the snow guns? Thanks, Pete

    Targeting Oncoming Traffic

    Every so often you have to deal with Trail Hog Idiots. The ones I hate the most are the jerks that veer at you force you up the berm because they think they are creating more room for their pack. These yahoos are going to cause a bad accident someday or someone is going to circle back and slap...

    I was out riding today cleaning up debris on trails and FRs from the ice storm. The trails have many drooper trees loaded with snow and ice that are blocking the trail.

    NFL Officiating Suggestion

    The no call for defensive pass interference in the Saints / Rams game was horrible. Why not have a red flag no call or wrong call challenge once a game for the head coach? Seems logical to me and shouldn’t slow down the game pace that much. Wdut?

    Opinions On The New Skidoo Oxygen Helmet?

    I have yet to get my head in one but if as revolutionary as the first Mod it could be really good and sell out quick. I’m still using 2 original mods before the mod 1 lol.
