    Calling all snowmobilers!!

    Don't hate the player, hate the game:ROFLMAO: That's some commitment. Do you have winter games also? A co-worker's grandchild plays baseball for Middleton. It's the same deal. He's in a different city every weekend cheering him on. I have no idea how the kid can focus on anything else.

    Calling all snowmobilers!!

    This!!! This is one of the top reasons. Our sports culture is toxic in the US. Everything from the professionals, college, and kids sports. I had this conversation with my Pastor. Another reason of low church attendance and volunteering there also we feel. Exactly! I played sports and I want my...

    Calling all snowmobilers!!

    I'm trying! It does bring me a lot of joy in helping.👍 I just lost my father a month ago, who helped a lot. Trying to make up for his contributions also. 💪 Tough deal. Montello Yetis, Marquette County. Crazy that we have that many miles. Exactly! That should be at least 3 clubs! We already lost...

    Calling all snowmobilers!!

    The next 5-10 years will be very interesting. The current snowmobiler age is 60! Our club is barely surviving right now. We maintain around 60 miles of trail in central WI. 60! There are 5 of us club members that do everything. I'm 40, and the other guys are in their 60s. 2 of the guys maintain...

    Manitowish Waters

    AWSC does not make the county opening procedures. That's decided at a county level. Every county can have a different opening/zone procedure. They just recommend your county has a procedure in writing. They do have the statewide antlerless starting today until Sunday, 14th.

    12-10 Snowfalls

    We haven't even marked Mike and Cathy's trail yet..... Agreed. You may know, but take Montello Lake(City Park and ends on Cty B) to bypass the road route around that lake.

    12-10 Snowfalls

    I'm just to the south of you. Marquette county will not be opening until 1/2, due to the Holiday Hunt. I believe Columbia county will be the same. It's a shame. We fought that for years. They first introduced that hunt in 2015, and happened to be the end of the good snowy Decembers. No one cared...

    From AWSC. Price increases

    Sam Landes, does a wonderful explanation of the trail pass. This is a couple years old now! That took care of a lot of financial issues, and a way to fund new projects and trails. The low snow years really hurt, and with cost of everything going up, was the time for dues and passes increases...

    From AWSC. Price increases

    Welcome! We all do try to do our part, big or small. Remember these are OUR funds. We fully finance ourselves(except for some small intake from Indian gaming, gas tax)! See attached from the AWSC Oct. magazine. Dave does a good explanation of the allocations of the trail fund money. The trail...

    From AWSC. Price increases

    Let me jump in and clear some items up. I've been an AWSC director for Marquette county the last 7 years. The first time directors heard of the rate increase was at the Fall Workshop meeting 2024. It was asked to get member feedback at that time. My role as a director, is to communicate any of...

    Wide Open Wisconsin show

    Good to hear! Hope the weather wasn't as bad as they first forecasted on Friday. Last year some rain came through around 4, and cleared a lot of people out. It then rained overnight and had to cancel the grass drags on Sunday. Polaris was there last year, the only mfg. Last year's show seemed to...

    I'm not going to make it this year. I ended up going to Hay Days. I got all my kid's gear there(plus more!). Enjoy!

    HayDays

    We'll be there! Nothing too major. Grabbing some new gear for my 6 year old. We're staying in Racer's edge. First time camping. It will be dad's first time there. He's pumped! I didn't know which campground to use, so I tried Racer's Edge.

    Munising

    I just got back from riding Munising area from Fri-Sun. Conditions were so/so Fri morning on 7 and 419. It was high 30's, so it was mashed potato snow. Huge moguls on 8E of 419 to Shingleton. We stopped at Bear's Den around 3. A lot of people reporting terrible conditions from there up to...

    Waushara County & surrounding...

    Those trails look pretty good! Our trails in northern Columbia county are pretty toasted. When driving down to Middleton yesterday, same deal. Look a little worse. Our locals trails were already thin/rough on Sunday when I took a quick 20 mile drive. Just too fluffy.

    (Oneida, Lincoln County) update 2-11-25 **adding Taylor and Price

    Sorry to hear your frustrations. I based out of Tomahawk from Fri-Sat. We left Saturday around 4pm. I was actually the only truck/trailer in Rodeway inn and suites. I was quite surprised by that. Trails were pretty flat on Friday, but little low on the snow. I actually had to put the...
