We rode all 3 of the trails that go up to Big Bay over the past week. All were in incredible shape, at least once you get a bit away from Lanse. It's my favorite part of the UP and favorite trails too. The one exception is on the furthest west trail, there were a group of college kids stuck on...

Great pics. Interesting your 850 is doing that much better on gas than a 22 650. Those old carb sleds are pigs!

Sure seems like it. Can't find anyone complaining about it. I've been wearing a cheaper CKX for a few seasons. Been a good helmet, but it doesn't have the moisture elimination like the Mission. If it's on the warmer side I don't use the neck guard and moisture goes out that way. But if it's...

Just seems to me the pass is a total bargain for people who ride a lot but expensive for someone who just rides up there a couple days. I definitely pinch my pennies to ride so not a snob by any means.

Don't worry, no one is putting me in charge of anything!

If it was up to me, I'd make the seasonal pass $100, with the extra money going towards easements and somehow enforcement of stopping some of the off trail riding, and then add a weekly pass for $25.

You aren't kidding. Plus the snow keeps getting deeper the further north you get!

Agree with that for anyone with a newer sled. I'd rather see a weekly pass than a free weekend. Family friends have a place near Eagle River. Get the old iron out over Christmas for visiting family. They would probably ride up to Gogebic etc but don't cross the border at $50/each for a day or two.

Since they increased the prices awhile back, I thought they should offer a weekly pass. I supported the increase as the extra funds were supposed to go towards purchasing trail easements, but if you have a family that gets all the old sleds out for a few days over Christmas break, it can add up.

I have them. Was in Ontario/Sudsbury area and a long way back to the truck on a cold morning after a warm day. It was a long day of riding with trying to get off the edge of the trail every so often to try to fight the temp gauge. I haven't had to use them all that much but it's nice when you...

We're supposed to head up on the 20th. The current forecast has me nervous. We're flexible on where we end up but it's staying warm everywhere it seems.

That is the truth. I'll never forgot my first trip to the UP. Was in high school, so older than your guy. But I was totally hooked after that. Amazing after you grow up riding farm fields.

That's great! Thanks for sharing. Here's a good part for sledders: Every path has a few puddles.

What kind of oil are you going to run in it? Seems like there hasn't been any arguing in this thread yet.

Nice family sled! Need the 850 to carry a passenger!

Oh man, sorry to hear this. Prayers for his family.

Looking at 4 days in late January and 4 or 5 days in late February, and hopefully President's Day weekend with the family.

We live near a golf course and walk it in the winter. There are so many beer cans in the woods. I think the idiots are in every activity.

I haven't done this but we were riding in northern MN last year and was looking at this. I'd like to learn more about riding up there. We like wilderness riding.

Sorry to hear what you are going through. Hope you get over it quick!
