    late start to snow?

    November 14, 2014 in the yoop. It’s different year to year, but can usually bet on good snow watersmeet-north by Xmas. I wouldn’t panic yet though, couple of the best winters I’ve had in the 12 years riding the U.P. had slow starts, then never let up.

    Check this out about the Keweenaw

    Love it! Glad they didn’t show any of those dang long tracks in the video to give anybody bad ideas ;)

    trailer shopping

    Probably works much better with a trail sled in which the weight is more equalized from front to back. I only have experience loading mountain sleds onto an inline, and trying to back them up a ramp, even on an inline that is low to the ground, with traction bars, is a 2-3 man job assisting to...

    trailer shopping

    Just my 2 cents... nothing more painful than trying to back a sled up a ramp and ripping off your ski guides, track mats, or trying to get your sled to move in reverse in subzero weather, etc... when I had my 7x23 I drove all the sleds in from the front ramp facing back. Made it easy to take off...

    Milwaukee Snowmobile Show

    I went, like said, not many vendors and zero sale prices. Probably won’t go again unless we’re just looking for something to do.

    Something positive? - A 2 month late post and some advice for the crippled

    I have been looking for one but more so for the longer more supportive suspension for the 2up seat to put on. The type of “off trail” riding I do in the UP would be extremely difficult on an assault I would think. Here’s a few pics why I think so LOL

    Something positive? - A 2 month late post and some advice for the crippled

    As a lot of things happening around the country and world today cause a lot of frustration to many on this forum, myself included, figured I’d share a more positive - sort of - post. I shared a couple months ago about my plans to go out west and never really followed up with anything about my...

    Mission Hybrid Trailer

    had to share a pic. It really worked slick, 2 forward facing sleds have 37” front ends. Any wider and this wouldn’t have worked. Not very difficult to load the 3rd sled either, I’m sure with track mat/grips to help it would’ve even been better!

    3” here just west of Appleton. Was hoping for more like 5-6”. If everyone gets out and pans, and we pick up another 3-4” on Friday the local trails could most likely open up!

    hey old man winter... what gives??

    No new additions to my fleet so no blame can be placed on me! Haha here’s a pic from this time Last year. We were full blown tree riding the valleys without hitting much at all underneath by middle of December last year in the yoop. Such a depressing start to the winter.

    The Thread About Snowmobiles

    Lots of work to do yet for me! The Indy 600 just got a new top end, composit talon 32 track, new primary clutch, rebuilt shocks, and the rest of the usual TLC. Little mans sport 440 is currently getting new slides, I chopped the windshield, put plastic skis from an XC on it and the rest of the...

    So, What's New?

    Thanks! I am very very glad I didn’t go the building route after lumber prices soared recently! I was very close to pulling the trigger early this summer to build. Before the lumber prices soared, the quotes I got to build a 1800 sq ft ranch unfinished garage unfinished basement, unfinished...

    Capital Gain Tax

    Not your typical question on here but need some help as I’ve gotten 10 different answers via google, and everybody I talk to has a different answer, time is pretty short handed here to talk to a tax guy with coaching 2 baseball teams so figured I’d ask on here. I just got an accepted offer on my...

    Happy 25th birthday indy_500!!

    Thanks for the compliments guys! Not sure if I mentioned it on here but he got a “new ride” about a month ago! He’s growing like a weed and was complaining his 120 was “too slow” and he was definitely way too big on it already. Here it is! Figured I’d throw in a few pics from some our rides this...

    2021 Polaris

    And go! From my first half hour of looking, looks like they dropped the 800 completely, minimized the 600 sleds (including the pro ride Indy 600), came out with an all new 650 patriot motor which seems like the perfect powerplant for a trail sled, released the all new Matryx chassis Vr1 sleds...

    Solid 6” here in hortonville. Went to bed with not even 2” saying it was all done, another 4”+ fell overnight
