    EUP report!

    Yes same clickers. I do feel it was a huge improvement over my adrenaline, but it’s hard to say for certain how huge since i don’t have one side by side to compare.

    EUP report!

    Can definitely take H58/Melstrand rd to get around it. Might be why they left so much snow on the road and make it very difficult to drive on to get to the Kingston plains lot

    EUP report!

    Here’s a pic of the waterhole just northeast of the bear trap (pic not taken by me) supposedly beavers built a dam there causing this issue

    Extended Forecast Looking Great.

    Made a separate thread. I’m not sure you’re going to find anywhere better by Tuesday. There was freezing rain and even warmer temps across western UP Saturday.

    EUP report!

    What a wild 36 hours! Left my house at 5am Saturday morning on what was supposed to be a 4.25 hr drive to our launch point halfway between Seney and Grand Marais. After getting stuck behind multiple snowplows and dealing with crap roads it turned into 5.5 hours. Plan was to head up towards GM...

    What year did you sign-up on the John's Site?

    2007. Rode 3000 miles that year on my 99 Indy 500, started out using the tech talk section a lot because I needed help wrenching on sleds. My dad stumbled upon the site for the cams, which I liked to look at as a kid, and then realized there was a discussion forum with a bunch of hooligans on...

    Creeping up on 10 years since that awesome trip! Man times flies! Still to date my favorite trip and one I’ll remember forever.

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    Don’t disagree, but that doesn’t sell new sleds every year, and not selling new sleds is precisely why cat is in the toughest situation of the 3 brands (all 3 are definitely hurting though)

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    I guess the negativity towards cat from most sledders seems pretty simple to me… they have been shooting themselves in the foot for nearly 15 years by not giving customers what they want. That’s it. That’s why there is negativity. It doesn’t make sense to most sledders why they refused to bring...

    Yes

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    BRP laid off 120 people total yesterday across 3 different plants in Quebec. Guessing the other surprise you’re talking about is John Deere.

    Arctic Cat layoffs etc.

    Been hearing a lot of chatter about CF Moto buying them out from Textron.

    Another oldie I remembered. Mr. Freeze. Not sure he actually chummed with anyone on this site, posted a decent amount about trail conditions but not a ton otherwise because he was so busy riding ridiculous amounts of miles per year! I don’t think I’ve seen him on here in at least 10 years

    Past membership challenge

    Many of the members you listed, I’m friends with on book face and they no longer ride. Garyl62 was very active for a handful of years, haven’t seen him on here in awhile. Cuzzinolaf and Thebreeze used to post a ton as well. Still both have sleds, just don’t ride nearly as much due to various...

    Can’t confirm, but I believe one of the longtime members or originators of team Kesslers was killed a month ago in a murder suicide (acted on by the girlfriend). Sad story. Name was Vito Schwartz. Used to run into those guys often 10 years or so ago around Mass City, but never got to know them...

    Past membership challenge

    Majority of guys I know that have drifted off were because they got out of the sport, or because they use other forms of social media instead of discussion forums. Been on here since 2007 and I can count on 1 hand the amount of guys who’ve left over a conversation on here they didn’t like. Not...

    Extended Forecast Looking Great.

    Here’s an updated snow cover map. Keep in mind these totals were taken before a lot of the lake effect snow had time to settle. A foot of system snow in Sconnie is a way better base for trails than 2 feet of blower in the yoop, which has to cover up the rocky terrain.
