    It’s deep guys!

    Conditions are pretty similar from Twin Lakes to Painesdale. South Range and Mass City both have slightly less like usual, still plenty deep there as well.

    95% of sled trailers heading across I-80 and I-90 are typically doing 80+mph.

    It’s deep guys!

    Well, the lake effect snow machine has been turned on full blast the last 2 weeks in the snow belts of the western UP and the Keweenaw! Tons of consistent 4-8” snows that have flown under the radar, to the point everyone I’m telling doesn’t believe me. I was up last Sunday, it nuked snow all day...

    Trailer Tires PSI

    This is my 2nd Triton clamshell since 2014 and both have worn this same way. The first trailer I sold with around 15,000 miles, and the current one has around 15,000 miles on it as well. Sure the axle could be bent, sure the torsion could be worn, but both were purchased new and have done the...

    stuff for sale - is everything on facebook now?

    I have had an account on there since 07 or 08, crazy, 15 years!! I view it as the best worst app ever created. I wouldn’t trade the good people I’ve met because of Facebook, for anything. But, I have to say the platform has created a TON of unwanted stress in my life, and I wouldn’t even want to...

    Trailer Tires PSI

    I have the same size tire as you, and put load range E 10 plys on as I cram 3 mountain sleds in my 2 place clamshell often. 90 psi max, I run 75 psi with 3 sleds and 60 psi with 2 sleds. They wear hard on the inside so if I ran it any higher it would probably be worse. Just had my buddy flip my...

    stuff for sale - is everything on facebook now?

    Just delete the listing, don’t mark it as sold. They also can’t do this unless you give them your social which under the manage payments section you can fill that in but don’t have to, to list or browse items.

    The next Generation

    Polaris also made a sport 440 in that era that had the Indy Lite rear suspension and tunnel, with a full size gen II front. IMO it’s an even better transition sled as the Indy lite 340 is almost too small for an adult to ride if they had to. Plus a 12 yr old shouldn’t complain with the power of...

    Michigan trail pass question

    It’s technically illegal but people do it all the time. On a side note, he sold it way too cheap LOL

    The good and the bad

    I’m hoping for some decent light snows this week to keep us within 1.5 hrs of good trails from the valley, but the temps look fairly mild some rain possible Friday. You should be more than good riding the 23rd out of Houghton. Plenty of snow, they should be set in the Keweenaw for awhile unless...

    The good and the bad

    Wiscrev hit it on the head. It’s been a month now since I’ve ridden Vilas but from what I can see from the road and with my judgment, what he stated is just how it is right now.

    The good and the bad

    Well, yanked the mountain sled yesterday up to the UP and boy am I glad it did! They got an unspoken of foot in the last 5 days, and while riding yesterday it was bombing snow ALL DAY! My guesstimate is 4-6” just yesterday while we were riding, and who knows it could’ve snowed all night for all...

    Mountain Bay Trail

    I rode it last Sunday. It’s thin but rideable. Some gravel spots. But, the following Wednesday killed the trails up there. The eastern half of Shawano county closed up, but the mountain bay I believe stays open year round. On top of last Wednesdays warm up, the freezing rain last night DESTROYED...

    good places to eat Houghton/Hancock trail accessible

    The Library did change ownership ~2 years ago. I was less than impressed when I was there in March of 2020, as it used to be one of my favorite stops, hopefully it’s improved since they’ve got a few years under their belt now!

    good places to eat Houghton/Hancock trail accessible

    The access trail runs along the canal behind all of the downtown businesses. You can get to any restaurant you want really, but you can’t exactly drive up to the doorstep. you may have to walk 50 yards after parking your sled.

    2022 sucks!

    I’ve been doing tons of scouring on there! Sounds like the best setup is a primary and secondary spring change along with lightening up the weights. I didn’t want to get too crazy yet and thought I’d try a spring from a 1200 first, as it was only $15 from my Doo dealer, and seems to have done as...
