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...

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...

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...

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...

Sad news out of Gogebic County for the last week. 2 fatalities. First one was a male on the Ramsay re-route around the ski hill property. Only details I know is that he fell off of his sled and was run over by his companion who then crashed and broke his leg. Second was last night in Marenisco...

My wife was checking WUPN and Facebook this morning and saw something about another Oneida fatality over the weekend. I did not see the story and was surprised when I signed on to this forum today that there is no talk of this yet. 40 something year old male overtaking another sled on the trail...

Took a short ride yesterday to MW from PI to get lunch and found Shillelagh to be closed so I thought I would start this thread for local information. Please add to it with any info you may have. Ran into some riders from Boulder Jct. who said not a single place open to get lunch or a beer there...

We have been out on the trails every day for almost two weeks except for last Friday and I found it somewhat interesting that I see more sleds parked at the bars and restaurants then I see on the trails. Last Thursday we did a loop from Presque Isle to Boulder Jct. to Manitowish Waters to...

I have to give credit where credit is due since I ripped on MW trail 6 about a week ago and someone's panties got bunched up. Rode Presque Isle, Manitowish Waters, Mercer trails the past two days. Absolutely incredible on Thursday. Left PI on trail 6W. Jumped on 14 and took that to 19 in Iron...

I am looking for some input on snowmobile jackets. The one I have now was a gift several years ago and I don't like it. It is a Skidoo brand. Too big and bulky and I feel like the Michelin tire man. Just curious what anybody out there is wearing and pros/cons of what you like. Thanks in advance...

When Gary in Neenah started the first sled thread it brought back a lot of funny memories from my youth on a snowmobile so I'm starting this one to hear other stories. In 1979 the Chicago area got hit with pretty big snowstorm that closed a lot down including schools, so I made the best of it...

My daughter was at the scene of a snowmobile crash last night in Ironwood/Gogebic County. She said it was a single snowmobile crash on a 2 up. Male deceased at scene, female transported to hospital. Occurred on trail 160?? I cant find any further news or a press release on it yet. Anybody out...
