You picked a heck of a time pclark to ditch the snow...or lack of, and hit the sand.

Thanks racerx. I called our club vice-president last night and told him about Travelwisconsin.com bad information. Somebody screwed up somewhere.

Ouch, glad nobody was hurt. Opened post and saw picture before I read post and got that sick feeling in my stomach. Glad story had a good ending.

You should expand and sell motors in Presque Isle. Saw a group of riders at the gas station today with the sled hood open and smoke pouring from it. Didn't want to stick my nose where it did not belong but a wise guess is that riding on ice trails and pavement didn't do very well for the engine...

I just came from a Presque Isle/Winchester SnoBunnies fundraiser event at the PI Pub and while there, one of the board members came to me and showed me her phone news feed showed that Vilas County trails were closed. Being that she is a board member, and would have been in the know, I told her...

Ventured out of the cabin yesterday (car) and hit a local watering hole. Presque Isle had light snow on/off all day that amounted to nothing. Trails looked snow covered and icy. 3 riders in the Retreat Bar that said they had rode down from Hurley. They said the trails were rough. Winchester...

Here is the truth from NW Vilas, (Presque Isle). 40s here yesterday and Sunday with pretty much full sunshine. 42 predicted today with sunshine right now and rain starting around 4pm. There were riders out yesterday and from what they were saying is the trails are deteriorating quickly. There...

pclark, Hitting the road from Park Ridge to Presque Isle shortly. A little worried that we may not be able to get to the trail from our cabin as the town road is probably down to gravel/asphalt. Hope for snow by mid to end of week. Enjoy the sunshine/vacation.

Being that the Packers are not there, it is almost kind of nice to not care who wins. Philly has a lot of beasts that will make it a little difficult for Mahomes to work his magic. Both Hurts and Mahomes are bright stars of the future for the NFL. I think KC pulls a victory but it will be a...

Don't know if you are aware pclark but Anglers is for sale and had a serious "potential" buyer have a look a few weeks ago when we were in for lunch. Hate to lose current owner because they do a nice job. Would be even worse if they just do a Skyview and close the doors and disappear.

Impressive lofsfire.

This one is getting a little intense. As someone further up the thread said, A few bad apples.....Snowmobiling is really no different than anything else in life that someone wants to start a crusade against and unfortunately, recent negative press about the speed, trespassing, and deaths give...

I will join the majority and say 2003 Skidoo. Saw the rider forward as a game and comfort changer and I went out and bought 2 MXZ's. A 600 for my wife with the optional 2 up seat for the kids and an 800 for myself. We still have both of them and use as reserve and guest sleds. 20 year old sleds...

I received a call this morning from a friend up on Gogebic that a "real genius" thought it would be fun to chase a group of deer with his snowmobile on Gogebic yesterday right in front of a full house of patrons at Gogebic Lodge. I give the crowd credit for not taking matters into their own...

pclark, I was thinking the same thing. We are heading back to PI from Chicago on the 12th and hopefully staying 2-3 weeks depending on the snow and trail conditions. I'm a little worried looking at forecast as I see you guys are going to be near 40 up there on Tuesday/Wednesday with sunshine and...

Awful, sad story old abe and something I have worried about since the late 80's when I brought my then fiancé, now wife up to northern Wisconsin for her first rides. When the kids came along, they were harnessed to us and that was another worry. When my daughter was big enough she sat in front...

Completely agree. I am also the one who pulls over and lets a group pass. Most of our rides are with a group of 4 or 5 sleds. I will usually lead and my son takes the rear. Every time I see headlights behind him I just pull over. Numerous times this season he was all bent out of shape because...

Sad news out of Gogebic County for the last week. 2 fatalities. First one was a male on the Ramsay re-route around the ski hill property. Only details I know is that he fell off of his sled and was run over by his companion who then crashed and broke his leg. Second was last night in Marenisco...

Correct Tim. Just talked with a Michigan DNR officer. 17 years old, no snowmobile safety certificate required.

Not looking to spar with you whitedust and as I said, I was sorry to hear of another death and would extend condolences to the family if I knew them. I don't mean to disrespect a fatality topic but when the DNR investigation is complete, riding style, ie. speed, is exactly what this unnecessary...
