    The good and the bad

    I’m hoping for some decent light snows this week to keep us within 1.5 hrs of good trails from the valley, but the temps look fairly mild some rain possible Friday. You should be more than good riding the 23rd out of Houghton. Plenty of snow, they should be set in the Keweenaw for awhile unless...

    The good and the bad

    Wiscrev hit it on the head. It’s been a month now since I’ve ridden Vilas but from what I can see from the road and with my judgment, what he stated is just how it is right now.

    The good and the bad

    Well, yanked the mountain sled yesterday up to the UP and boy am I glad it did! They got an unspoken of foot in the last 5 days, and while riding yesterday it was bombing snow ALL DAY! My guesstimate is 4-6” just yesterday while we were riding, and who knows it could’ve snowed all night for all...

    Mountain Bay Trail

    I rode it last Sunday. It’s thin but rideable. Some gravel spots. But, the following Wednesday killed the trails up there. The eastern half of Shawano county closed up, but the mountain bay I believe stays open year round. On top of last Wednesdays warm up, the freezing rain last night DESTROYED...

    good places to eat Houghton/Hancock trail accessible

    The Library did change ownership ~2 years ago. I was less than impressed when I was there in March of 2020, as it used to be one of my favorite stops, hopefully it’s improved since they’ve got a few years under their belt now!

    good places to eat Houghton/Hancock trail accessible

    The access trail runs along the canal behind all of the downtown businesses. You can get to any restaurant you want really, but you can’t exactly drive up to the doorstep. you may have to walk 50 yards after parking your sled.

    2022 sucks!

    I’ve been doing tons of scouring on there! Sounds like the best setup is a primary and secondary spring change along with lightening up the weights. I didn’t want to get too crazy yet and thought I’d try a spring from a 1200 first, as it was only $15 from my Doo dealer, and seems to have done as...

    2022 sucks!

    Just finished up putting in a 110/190 spring, stock for a 1200. 900 ace comes with 100/155. The short pull I did in our minimal snow here had me up an additional 400 rpm.

    good places to eat Houghton/Hancock trail accessible

    Ambassador, is a little tight in there though with your gear, which is the case for most places downtown.

    New trucks

    Agree, sounds similar to my situation except opposite vehicles. Picked up the explorer last March before prices went really crazy. It was a buyback with 1000 miles on it due to a touch screen issue. Rolled over 10k miles a month ago, paid $34k for it msrp is $49k (fully loaded model), happy with...

    New trucks

    Definitely not going to happen if schools continue to push the college education agenda amongst every last student. At 26 I have a almost brand new home with a brand new explorer, brand new f150, and 4 sleds in the garage. It is possible, it’s all about trying to stay 1 step ahead of the game...

    New trucks

    That sounds normal for June pricing, not how it is currently unfortunately. You got lucky!

    New trucks

    Bought a 21 f150 around Halloween. Nobody is offering chit for $$$ off msrp. Trade or resale of the old one is high though to cover the difference.

    Eagle River area pit stops?

    He must have had the worst luck and picked some of the worst locations… Youre the first I’ve heard say anything like this about the area. I haven’t been to much RIGHT in town in Eagle river, but log cabin in conover, sayner pub in sayner, Stillwater’s in star lake, blink Bonnie’s, 19th hole in...

    Are trails being refreshed enough

    I’ve been riding Shawano and Oconto Counties every weekend for the past month with no regrets. Sounds crazy the amount of complaints of garbage trails from traffic and no fresh snow when the snow depth is double farther north, but I guess that goes to show what less traffic does for trails… Been...

    Is it Ever Going to Snow Again?

    The entire state of Wisconsin essentially went an entire month without getting a meaningful snowfall. Can’t say I recall this happening in years past. All of central WI has been 4-6” away from opening trails, with cold weather for a month straight, frustrating to say the least!
