    Electric Snowmobile

    Semiconductors we going great guns in early 80s all the high end chips made in USA. Mid 80s the low end chips started to move to Asia USA started to feel the hit across the board on processing equipment but high end was still here. When I left semiconductors in mid 90s USA was feeling the losses...

    No Grooming Baraga Club

    Who hasn’t ridden the pipeline? I would guess a lot less will since grooming has been going down hill last couple of years. No idea why but once the progression starts down it seems to take a long time to become reliable again. Doubtful it’s funds more likely a people problem best guess. Nobody...

    Groomer or Grooming issue north of Mosquito

    Boo hoo deep lug tracks wreak havoc on groomed trails! I mean really who cares? I sure don’t. If you want to ride big miles on a groomed trail on a powder or mountain sled it sucks to be you.

    Closed helmets and prescription glasses.

    Have to go with a modular helmet with breath box to avoid glasses fogging. Contacts are another way out. I had cataract surgery on both eyes so ditched the glasses. I still carry glasses Incase I have to fix something on my sled but rather not wear them when riding except at night. Found it’s...

    Groomer or Grooming issue north of Mosquito

    I have been behind deep lug riders and for the most part they were going slower than I wanted to go on 2 grade. Lots of snow dust but didn’t seem to tear up the trail more than a trail sled. We stay away from the area referenced for the grooming issues mentioned. Once a trail gets severely...

    Need some feedback on a Ski Doo MXZ TNT 900 ACE

    Just so you know the battery is back of seat 2019 900t I ran cables out the back to charge or jump to any jumper source. Some have a plug for maintenance chargers. Also can pop the seat via levers to get at battery but I don’t like messing with heated seat harness. Easy peasy.

    Hayward Lakes Area-Sawyer County Trail Conditions

    Yikes pedestrians and fat bikes bad mix on a groomed snowmobile trail and over such a long distance. Hopefully all goes well but playing with fire imo seems like terrible planning and risky to all involved.

Eco for loading unloading or when I...

    Vilas County. WI

    I lived in Vilas for 16 years it’s surprising how well groomers do with 4” of snow and the renter could care less they think snirt is normal and great conditions. It’s whiteish that’s all that matters to them. Throw in reasonable temps and ideal for the renter. They leave town fat and happy...
