    Trail 1 and 13 loop open?

    Lots of supper club pages on Facebook have been popping up, drawing even more attention to there. It’s amazing how far people will drive to go there. I was staying at the whitetail once, and a guy in the hotel lobby drove up from Chicago just to eat there. Having ridden with Scott and Brian a...

    Trail 1 and 13 loop open?

    There’s some great stuff there, but the reason for no sleds is simple. No lodging, and no bars/restaurants. Pure gods country in the middle of the yoop. Sled breakdowns could be brutal as it’s often 50+ miles to the next intersection and sometimes 100 miles between gas stations.

    Trail 1 and 13 loop open?

    I said this ~5 years ago when trails started disappearing, and got flamed big time for it on this site. If you aren’t into big big miles the western UP is no longer very attractive to trail riders, especially since large majority of the remaining trails are just railroad grades. DNR having...

    track grips on trailer gate for loading

    No issues thus far, but the trailer is only 2 years old. Minimal use the first year, but heavy use the second season.

    track grips on trailer gate for loading

    Although heavy, I have a cut up old track on my ramp doors for traction. Can’t beat it.

    Wide Open Wisconsin show

    Went Saturday afternoon, seemed like a lot of the deals on stuff I was interested in was already scooped up. Was hoping Hexco would’ve had a few of the BRP accessories I was after as well. Went home empty handed which is a first for me at a show.

    Inline trailer loading

    Yep, same size trailer, same size sleds, and I gotta go back to front as well to make 4 fit. It’s tight but can be done. My 23’ lightning, I found I HAVE to load back to front regardless, otherwise I can’t get enough tongue weight and it’s borderline dangerous. Sucks because it’s much more...

    Free Burgers!

    Been a fun last month tuning in to their games on tv (with the microscopic bit of free time that I do have). Go crew!

    thinking of anything new for upcoming season?

    Nothing new coming for us… picked up 24 blizzard 600 for the woman end of last winter… hoping to find decent time to still ride this winter as the little man made a top area travel baseball team for next season and will have plenty of winter practices. I’m sure those that have driven 41 in the...

    What's a 2016 doo 900 worth?

    4500-5000 I would say is pretty fair. Prices have really fell off on used stuff after Covid, this would’ve been a $7500 sled just a few years ago.

    What's a 2016 doo 900 worth?

    What model? Without knowing that, I would say 4000-4500 is low end, 5000-5500 high end.

    Rumored - Arctic Cat has been bought

    They released the full 2026 lineup an hour ago. The new EXT model with power steering looks sweet

    Rumored - Arctic Cat has been bought

    Glad to see this result. I foresee less and less 4s offerings from Cat coming soon. The more and more Poo and Doo went away from 2s, the more market share they gained. The 4s crowd on here is not your average consumer. The average consumer wants 2s sleds, not to mention 4s lasts longer and...

    2026 skidoo

    Are they goofy about maintenance schedule? The couple dealers I’ve heard that offer something like that, all require the factory maintenance schedule to be followed and performed by dealer.

    Plenty of Riding to be had.

    You can park at Pats, Merritts, or where m26&m38 meet there’s a small lot but requires a little ditch run to trail 3.

    2026 skidoo

    Ice ripper doesn’t come standard on the X like the blizzard though. Highly doubt anyone is ordering an X with the standard ripsaw unless they’re planning to stud though, as it’s just really a terrible track in this day and age compared to what else is available on the market
