2-3 inches in Presque Isle and snowing all day.

We lost one of our Presque Isle/Winchester Sno-Bunnies family on Wednesday night on the border of Presque Isle/Marenisco. A 60-year-old lone female rider was killed when her sled left the trail, hit a snowbank and then several trees. MSP, Gogebic County Sheriff, and MI. DNR investigating. I had...

It has been interesting sparring with you ICT but I think I am done and need to focus on other issues. I have to renew my yearly membership for the Illinois "God-forsaken, corrupt, law enforcement association", retired of course, and I have been asked to write new by-laws for the "super-special...

I'm seeing an underlying agenda with your posts ICT. Tried and didn't make the cut for a position with local, county, or state law enforcement? Maybe the military or feds told you thanks but no thanks? Whatever the case may be, I can hear your position on the "brothers" and "sisters" in blue...

I almost feel a little sorry for you and whatever world you live in. Worst of human history? I have seen the worst of what people can and will do to each other. I also have been a part of the good that people can and will do for each other. Law Enforcement as a necessary evil? Good luck with...

I know people that should have been on that one on the way to school.

Laugh away. As I said, what they did was wrong. I am very aware of what the leading contributors of snowmobile related deaths are. There was no crash, personal injury, or death relating to these two individuals. Your idea of their punishment does not fit the crime. As far as your idea of the...

Not a chance.

Yes, refers to credibility of a witness. In the case with these two officers, one is an investigator and the other is a Lieutenant. I'm not making an excuse for their actions/behavior, because it was wrong, but it is unlikely either is out making DUI/OWI arrests so therefor court credibility...

From what I know, that sounds about right for fair and just discipline.

Must be nice to be as perfect as you. If these two were plumbers or electricians would anybody give a crap? Would it make the news and have every sanctimonious do-gooder condemning them? They were NOT on duty. Cops have personal lives and yes, they make mistakes. I get it that cops are held to a...

Glad you are ok and here to still talk about it. And I agree with you that this a bad year for accidents and fatalities. I am in no way clairvoyant or psychic, but we rode last weekend in NW Vilas and I told my wife and friends riding with us that I was really not going to be surprised when I...

Sad. From what I remember was a very nice trail system.

Thank you to everyone that replied. Placed my order this morning for the new Grand Touring and went with the 900 ACE. As hybrid said, there is no replacement for displacement and even though my "go fast" days are behind me, I felt the 600 ACE would be a little under-powered for that sled with...

Saw riders out in Westfield on my way back to Chicago from the Northwoods on Sunday. Been a long time since I saw people out on those trails. First trail rides for me in that area back in the early/mid 70s.

After 20 years, I have decided to update one of my reserve/guest snowmobiles. It is a 2003 SkiDoo MXZ Sport 600. It has the 1+1 seat that has served us well while the kids were growing up and when guests came to our cabin. I will be placing a spring order for a SkiDoo Grand Touring soon. The...

80 mile loop today from Presque Isle to Winchester, Mercer, Manitowish Waters and back. Presque Isle/Winchester trails were groomed and very nice. Plenty of light powder and still plowing through untouched trails. The short distance we rode Mercer trails were very nice and appeared to have been...

Coming down hard in Presque Isle and adding up quickly at 8:30 am. 6" plus since last night here. Can't see the lakeshore at times which is 80 feet from the deck. Did not ride yesterday but PI/Winchester did groom. Trails looked great from the car yesterday. Heading out shortly and will update...

We got a late start yesterday for a ride due to an uninvited guest in the cabin. Seems that a red squirrel got in either when my wife let the dog out, (100 times) or when I brought in a load of firewood, (once). Guess who got the blame? Took off from PI on 6W and was pleased at how nice the new...

Im looking at 8+" on the deck in Presque Isle. Talked to my daughter this morning in Bessemer and she says more than a foot of new snow up there. Time to motivate and go for a little ride. PI Snobunnies posting that they will resume grooming tonight. Snowmobile season part 2 begins.
