    Seney/Grand Marais

    Rode this area 1/12-1/13. Most of the time I rode we were off trail, but overall there is plenty of snow in the area. However, what was surprising, some of the trails were pretty rough with whoops which is not what I have usually experienced in this area in the past, especially the crazy 8...

    1 trailer to do it all?

    I am looking into a trailer that can do it all and would like to see if anyone else has had a similar experience or thoughts. To me, we all need trailers, but they are a PIA. Right now, I own four trailers, with three being tandem axle and brakes. This is a lot to maintain. I am debating...

    Hate theives!!

    Had a riding day from **** yesterday. Made it to my buddies cabin. He is a bit off the road and got stuck getting to his cabin. Tried to shovel it out for about an hour. Unhooked the trailer, and all that helped with was to get the truck more stuck. Decided we should go grab his father in...

    Lake Winnebago Warning

    While I don't disagree with doc mark on it is like riding a jet ski, I thought a photo would provide the actual situation of snow cover. This is from the east side of the lake, facing towards Neenah. When I rode with my daughter on Sunday, and taking it very easy, we had speeds between 35-55...

    Yamaha Rumor - 75% Production decrease in 2018

    Heard a rumor that Yamaha will be reducing their 2018 snowmobile build by 75%. Can anyone corroborate this rumor? My fear this is the beginning of the end of Yamaha snowmobiles. The partnership with AC might have been the start. What I was told this was due to lack of profit on the machines...

    Love the forecast

    Sure hope it is not a typo!! 8 feet of snow possible!! 5-10 DAY FORECAST: The first half of next week still looks to be mainly dry and then the models have come into better agreement on ideas for the second half of next week. It is still too far out to be overly confident in the exact...

    New risk on trail

    This was a first for me yesterday. Came across a horse and a sleigh on the trail. We were on a grade near Wabeno, WI and as I pulled up to a stop sign, I looked forward and saw a horse coming at me. Thought my eyes were going goofy, but sure enough, horse and sleigh were on the trail. Having...

    Marinette Co?

    Thinking of ditching work and doing a day rid on Friday. My two easy options are door county area or Marinette Co - Door county - while some placed received up to 18" of snow, was light and fluffy and looks like the trails didn't take (anyone on here have 1st hand experience?). Otherwise the...

    Groomers - tractors vs fully tracked machines

    I have been looking at the reports for all of the UP and it appears many clubs have their groomers down, and in particular, tracked machines like tuckers, BOMBARDIER, or Piston Bullies. A few years back my local club went to 1 tracked machine (tucker) and a Case/IH tractor with tracks around...

    12-29-17 out of Muni

    Made a college level try out of Muni on Friday. Please don't take this as a bash, as I know this is early riding and during the holidays, but want to give an accurate rating of the trails for others. Rode out of Muni with an early start. Headed north east towards Grand Marais. Outside of...

    Liquids that don't freeze easily

    Okay boys and girls. Looking to ride in this not so warm weather and due to my asthma, if I don't stay hydrated, I tend to have more issues. Water is usually best for me, but running at negative temps, I find my water bottles freeze fairly quickly. We ride hard - most of our trips are 200-300...

    Polaris Trail App

    Anyone else having issues with the Polaris Trail Mapping App? I have both the Polaris Rider X and the Polaris Ride Command. The Rider X is at least coming up, but it is missing quite a few trails near where I am going to ride (Munising). The Ride Command - I did the update and the screen is...

    Powermadd Rider Hold Tight

    Looking for options to have my 8 year old daughter ride with me. I would say she will have 2-3 short rides with me this year on my Yamaha Viper and was looking at my options. The viper 2 up seat is pricey - OEM is around $550, Seat Jack $350, Kimpex $435. I have had 2 different model seat...

    2007 Yamaha Phazer Reverse

    My 2007 Yamaha Phazer won't always go into reverse. This has the simple push button on the dash. The red light will appear and be flashing, but you can hear it does not slip into reverse. If I give it throttle, the motor will be limited on RPM. If I rock the sled a bit, sometimes it will...

    Beleive dealer swapped dash

    I am looking for a little help and feedback. I purchased a Yamaha viper that was a demo unit from a dealer a few weeks back. He indicated to me it was a low mile, somewhere in the 500-700 mile range sled and was in overall good shape. When I picked up the sled, it was in good shape with a few...

    Many of boat houses, dock system and even this house have been lost. I have only lived through 5 winter break ups on this lake as a fairly recent move. Talking to one of the old salts who have been here for 40+ years, stated the worse he has seen. My property is safe with the large amount of...
