Kids leaving tomorrow after riding today but the wife and I are staying another week. Looking forward to riding during the week. Heavy traffic yesterday on the trails and standing room only at 30 Point Tap and The Retreat. Getting back to normal winter up here and even though I am not a fan of...

In a previous thread I told you guys that I had 7 sleds sitting in the garage since March of 2023 and was concerned about the gas. We rode to Shillelagh in Manitowish Waters on March 17th, 2023, for St. Pats party and then parked the sleds in the garage. Last year happened and the trails never...

Arrived in Presque Isle yesterday at 4 pm to -10. Awoke to - 25 degrees this morning, and a frozen cold water supply pipe in my basement on a north exterior wall. Hoping it's just frozen and did not split the copper. This sucks.

As much as I want to ride, I don't want to destroy my slides and carbides just to say I did. I just keep hoping for a snowy pattern to start aiming at Northern Wisconsin and give us a few big dumping's. Glass is still half full. 2 weeks left in January, all of February and hopefully deep into March.

I talked to a friend in Presque Isle this morning who lives on the trail and he told me the PI system has been panned/groomed, and talk is that Vilas will open Thursday. All we can do is hope and wait.

1 is a brand-new last year Grand Touring with the 900 ACE. Second one is a 21 Renegade with the 600 ACE and the third is a '17 MXZ with a 600 two stroke. The other 4 are the kids sleds, and they all have 600 two strokes. Problem getting rid of the old gas is where do I put almost 70 gallons of...

Drove yesterday from Presque Isle up to Houghton in my truck. Incredible snow difference for the roughly 100 miles. Snow starts to look good around Bruce Crossing and the trails looked pretty good heading north on 45. Hwy 38/26 near Pats Motorsports looked good also. The mosquito inn was packed...

One thing nice about the crappy conditions last year and trails not opening, and this year, so far... is that we didn't discuss fatalities. Sorry to report but that ended tonight. I'm hearing that there was a fatality today in Houghton County in Sidnaw. All I know so far is that it was a 50 ish...

Ok, jealous here in Presque Isle WI.

I think my iPhone has the weather channel app installed on it, but I can't figure out how to tell. For the most part, pretty accurate and gives me what I am interested in.

My grandparents had that tree at their home in Chicago. Had a mirror base, color wheel and would rotate. I thought that was the coolest thing. Wish I had kept it when they passed.

I hope that's right. Checked AccuWeather this morning and they took snow out of the forecast for next week in the Northwoods and moved it to Chicago area, predicting 6-8".

Artificial. Had a real one for one year when the kids were little. Couldn't figure out why I had a never-ending stuffed nose and wheezing from Thanksgiving until after New Years. Suddenly cleared up after the tree went out to the curb for garbage. The mentally challenged Labrador Retriever also...

3" in Presque Isle overnight and still snowing lightly at 8am.

Its only December 19th. I don't think the season is "toast" as it really has not even started yet. I get it that last year sucked but the year before we were riding into mid/late March. I'm nowhere ready to give up on it anywhere in the near future.

Light snow in Presque Isle since last night and still coming down. A little more than an inch but every little bit helps right now.

The Wilderness, Chicago Pub, and good news on Shillelagh, which I hear received all of their lumber for the new building and a planned opening by St. Patricks Day.

Hmmmm, another restaurant/hotel for "her". Looks like "she" is starting a monopoly.

Riders out today on Presque Isle trails. They gassed up in town and headed north so I would imagine they were headed to UP trails. Our trails look flat and rideable, (barely) but with the temperature today and tomorrow, that thin base will go to mud and ice. The roads/crossings are down to bare...

We can hope. That was the jewel of P.I. back in the 80s and 90s. So sad to drive by it every day and see it abandoned. One of the P.I. volunteer firemen has been cutting the grass for the past few years just so it didn't look like such an eyesore. Would love to see it re-open as a bar/restaurant...
