    A few pictures before having to take the sled back to the dealer with a CK engine light. I am surprised how the trails are holding up with the sun out. I think the snow actually beng white instead of brown is helping.

    Oneida County 2-24-25

    Seems like with the wind and then heavy snow took its toll on the trees. Thank you to all the club members who have been out there busting there rear ends to get trails open for a couple of more days. Wish I was up there to pitch ini but unfortunately have to do that work thing so I can afford...

    Rumored - Arctic Cat has been bought

    Maybe a bidding war. I am hoping that Argo ends up buying them but if it's CF moto so be it as long as someone buys them and actually cares about the brand which with CF moto willing to sponsor a racer does show they care. This will be a fun watch and hopefully gets settled soon so that they can...

    Thanks Paul it's been 2 months in the making on getting it back from the dealer but will be nice to get a ride in and make sure all is good for next season. Thanks sweep. I can see how going to Scottsdale can change your perspective on winter in March. Going to try and stay safe be interesting...

    Rumored - Arctic Cat has been bought

    We can only hope. Hopefully if they do buy it they will actually care about the brand. The Catalyst seems like it's a good chase and a great little 600 engine. The 858 sounds like it needs some bugs worked out and maybe with a new owner they will let the engineers do there job.

    Getting pretty cold Friday night I think Saturday will be ok overall. I do agree with Paul Saturday is most likely the last day. I am just happy to see for the first time that I can personally remember they closed trails and now conditions have changed and they are reopening the trails. If it...

    Looks like 8 am tomorrow they open. Like you said Paul good for the businesses. This year was better but still not the typical winter and last year it was really bad so any extra business is good for them. The businesses give a lot of money to help the clubs out so it's good they get some money...

    2026 skidoo

    Besides some new colors not much changed for trail sleds. As far as smart shocks sounds like they do work. I was choosing between the 2 in January I ended up going with the blizzard with the 3 clicker shocks. For me being I like to work on my sleds I didn't want to be dealing with a bunch of...

    Very nice Indy. Perhaps I will see you out there as it looks like a miracle have happened and my sled may finally be ready to pick up. If Vilas opens which it is looking like a possibility I may just ride there. If not I will be in the U.P somewhere. I want to make sure the sled actually works...

    Winter 2024/25

    Yeah I noticed today they seem to back off on temps next week. Everything I saw was saying mid March it's going to go full spring but it seems like they have backed off of that at least for next week.

    Just saw John Dee on TV.

    It's called Wardens of the north. They follow the DNR officers of Michigan around. You can look it up and watch episodes.

    How did the trails look? I did see Eagle river went out and groom and cleared trees that fell.

    Vilas County

    My wife works for a oral surgeon and she closes about 4 to 5 weeks every year. My wife only gets 2 weeks of vacation every year, so we kind of try to plan things around when the office is closed which doesn't work the best to ride. They always close the last week of March. We have been able to...

    Seeing the same thing. Most years you can count on riding the Kee until the end of March. Gogebic area maybe mid March and anything past the 1st weekend in March in Vilas is a bonus.

    Vilas County

    Has to be the strangest closing time I have seen to close a trail system. At this point might as well close them tomorrow at 6 am. I can't imagine saying the heck with let's go grab lunch on the sleds and then realizing after you ate you can't ride back because trails closed while you ate. Does...

    We are finally going to get a heavy wet snow now that it won't last long. Maybe they will open the trails for one more weekend if this happens. I think they know the businesses could use it we shall see.
