    Interesting Observation

    Yep!! We stopped at Stillwater’s in star lake 2 Fridays ago at 10:55. First ones there, when we left around noon there had to be 50 sleds there!

    Interesting Observation

    Yep… another thing to keep in mind is there is hardly ANY LODGING in the LMT area… I would love to ride that area more with the family but there’s nowhere to stay. The areas attakman mentioned has an abundance of lodging for snowmobilers to stay at. Also on a side note, I know TONS of people...

    Vilas goodness!

    Mines the non electric shield model. Also extremely warm and very quiet to wear.

    Vilas goodness!

    Best helmet I’ve ever worn! So comfortable, phenomenal field of vision, zero fog, was tough to swallow the cost but it’s been worth every penny so far!

    Off trail riding on the local news

    You take away their mountain sled, they’re still going to ride and act like jackwagons. They will still have loud cans, they will still tip drinks all day on a barstool, and they’ll still hop on their sled and go ride where they shouldn’t like a bunch of @$$hats. The only reason a “mountain...

    Off trail riding on the local news

    I’ve stayed out of this thread so far, simply because this subject is just plain common sense. Banning mountain sleds sounds like a complete asinine idea, as they are not all “tearing up the trails”. It is extremely difficult to ride one aggressively on a trail as all they want to do is tip...

    Vilas goodness!

    He has a mid December birthday. He must’ve done 50+ laps in the whitetail lodge parking lot LOL I also took him up and down along hwy 70 on the west side of St G (not across though) and we practiced stopping at stop signs.

    Vilas goodness!

    It’s a 14. Can’t be a more perfect sled for a newer rider and/or a female! 500 2 stroke like power, good fuel mileage, quiet, and the best part for females is the electronic throttle. She tried out my new renegade and said she could never ride a sled with a cable throttle again. (She used to...

    Vilas goodness!

    So far hasn’t been too bad, we typically ride in tight twisty highly populated areas so I only let him drive when it’s a good time to. He’s usually only good for 5-10 miles before he complains about his thumb, so the 900 ace will be perfect sled for him when he’s 12!

    Vilas goodness!

    Averaging 18 mpg so far. The woman’s 900 ace is averaging 24 mpg. This weekend, rode with a 99 vmax 500 averaged 8-9 mpg 02 xc 500 7-8 mpg 14 Indy 600 11-12 mpg 22 xc 650 14-15 mpg. Sure was nice only having to fill up every other gas station we stopped at compared to the rest of the group!

    Vilas goodness!

    Get it while it’s good! Spent Thursday-Sunday in St Germain after 10” fell Wednesday into Thursday. Hit most of the western half and central part of Vilas county, did a night ride down to lake tomahawk as well, and rode nothing but excellent trails all weekend. 250 miles this weekend, maybe 10...

    Thawing out a sled?

    Short of heating the garage, a torpedo heater will be by far the most effective.

    To Scratch Or Not?

    Most mountain sleds do not have a bulkhead cooler, and also a usually have a minimal snow flap. Unless the snow on the trails is extremely loose, as little as 2 miles down a trail and the engine temp starts rising tremendously.

    MI DNR Offer

    They’re offering it because February 11 is international ride a snowmobile day or something like that. I do question the purpose as well, as I don’t think many will create a plan to go to the UP now because if it but we shall see how it turns out…
