80 mile loop today from Presque Isle to Winchester, Mercer, Manitowish Waters and back. Presque Isle/Winchester trails were groomed and very nice. Plenty of light powder and still plowing through untouched trails. The short distance we rode Mercer trails were very nice and appeared to have been...

Coming down hard in Presque Isle and adding up quickly at 8:30 am. 6" plus since last night here. Can't see the lakeshore at times which is 80 feet from the deck. Did not ride yesterday but PI/Winchester did groom. Trails looked great from the car yesterday. Heading out shortly and will update...

We got a late start yesterday for a ride due to an uninvited guest in the cabin. Seems that a red squirrel got in either when my wife let the dog out, (100 times) or when I brought in a load of firewood, (once). Guess who got the blame? Took off from PI on 6W and was pleased at how nice the new...

Im looking at 8+" on the deck in Presque Isle. Talked to my daughter this morning in Bessemer and she says more than a foot of new snow up there. Time to motivate and go for a little ride. PI Snobunnies posting that they will resume grooming tonight. Snowmobile season part 2 begins.

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...
