    What Will You Be Riding This Winter?

    Yeah I agree with everything you are saying. It is amazing how many people buy sleds and spend the money they do to just ride to a bar and spend more time there than on there sleds. I have sleds because I just love being out in the trails and just getting away from the day to day stuff. I really...

    Mercer WI area info

    One other option would be to go more east or west. Very nice areas but not such a vacation destiny that Vilas and Iron county are. You will find some better pricing on homes if you get out of vacation land. We bought 7 years ago and sure glad we did because with today's pricing and interest...

    What Will You Be Riding This Winter?

    Nice to see some guys really taking care of there rides and putting some serious miles on them. I always tell people when they tell me man that's a lot of miles on your sled going to have a hard time selling it, well that's why I buy them is to ride them. I will be on a 22 ski doo 600 x with...

    A great Weather Man's retirement - Not John

    He will be missed. He was always good at explaining why things were happening the way they were. He also was not a downer when it came to snow. You can tell he loves his job. If we could all be this lucky to love or job as much as he does.

    sled lifts

    I was lucky and my buddy picked me up lift a sled at hay days. I was going to buy one at the snowmobile roundup in St.Germain but he didn't make it this year. Very good quality looking forward to putting it to work.

    Another trail closure

    I agree with you 100 percent something needs to change and change fast. The way it's going the only place you will be able to ride is on lakes and that's if you can get to them. I really don't understand the need for race cans these days but yet they keep manufacturing them. I know some people...

    Another trail closure

    What's hard to believe is the manufacturer of these cans are still making them so loud. Wide open Wisconsin gave away a silencer as one of there giveaways. It was a jaws can and they responded by saying do you want a trail race or rowdy can. Unbelievable that these things are still being made...

    Another trail closure

    Wow this is the main trail that everyone takes from Eagle River to Three lakes. This is a huge loss for the area and prevents a lot of nice loops you could take. I think I know of the horses that you are talking about. We always stop to admire the horses they are really nice horses. We saw...

    Where were you 21 years ago Today?

    I remember getting up getting ready to head to work at the small engine shop I was working at. I turned on the television to check out the news and the towers were on the news with smoke pouring out of them. I thought this must be some kind of movie so I changed the channel and had the same...

    Hay Days this year

    I use to really like the Milwaukee snow show but the last few years not enough vendors to justify the gate cost. The show I really miss is the Illinois snow show. They had a good swap and grass drags. I use to go to Hay Days every year just to browse the swap. Now it's a lot of walking between...

    Hay Days this year

    Hay days is an awesome event but not what it use to be to get parts and sleds. Seems like you need to get a spot in the swap now and most good stuff is sold Friday between swappers. Also seems like a lot of swappers are getting spaces with nothing to sell they are there just to party. I would...

    Almanac winter prediction out

    The farmers almanac looks good but,based on its looking like it could be a strong elnino this winter it will be hard for it to pan out like the farmers almanac is saying. Hopefully it will set up a little more south so some cold air can drop down. Like every year will take it one day at a time...

    the Story of Adam and Chris

    This is so true. I did a 5 year apprenticeship for being a sparky and sure was nice having no college debt. Is it hard work yeah but I make a good fair living, and going to have a nice pension when I retire. The biggest problem is the next generation doesn't want to work in the trades.

    The Perfect Up North Property

    I think sledtl has hit the nail on the head. We bought up in Saint Germain in 7 years ago looking to spend around $150k or less. We found a manufactured home with 2.5 acres for $130k. We are not on a Lake we are 1 lot of of found Lake. The prices of homes in Vilas has gone crazy. I don't think I...

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    This is definitely not good news,but it does sound like Wakefield is willing to work with the club which is opposite of snowy river who was just doing PR damage when they claimed they would try to work with the club. Sounds like the biggest problem is there doesn't sound like there is another...
