    There hasn’t been “deals” on leftovers since the 2020 model year ended. Hope it gets back to that soon some day…

    Groomer drag set too deep?

    Thought I’d bring up a discussion point, as I know there are a handful of groomer drivers on this site. Before I begin, I am in NO WAY trying to trash a club, that does so much for the snowmobile community, and puts up with likely the most traffic in the state. Me and the woman just finished up...

    Langlade, Oneida, Vilas trail conditions.

    Eagle River was swamped with sleds! Seemed like 75% of the sleds we saw were rentals from Trackside up there, along with the east side of Rhinelander seemed like 75% of the sleds we were running across was a rental from Schoeders.

    Langlade, Oneida, Vilas trail conditions.

    Just completed a backpack trip with the Woman up to Eagle River. We left antigo Saturday around 11am, took the shortest route along hwy 45 up to Pelican lake, and then swung west, stayed shy of Rhinelander and up through Sugar camp. Was 100 miles this way. Everything was soft but in decent...

    Enclosed trailer purchase.. looking for help

    7 foot wide tows much much better than the 8.5 wide, and you can see around it, and being lower to the ground than a 8.5’ deckover, its much easier to use for things other than snowmobiles. You can cram 4 crossover sleds in a 7x23’, but 25 or 27 make it much easier (keep in mind, inline lengths...

    Well, when only 10-15% of snowmobilers are buying cats, you don’t have much power at hand to get top dollar, that’s just common sense. My good riding buddy has had his 18 m8000 for sale for 2 years now w/under 1k miles for $8500. Even through the covid buying craze, he was unable to get 1 person...

    Langlade County Conditions for 2/8/23?

    Saw a post on book face from a guy who rode Lakewood area all day today and that it was fantastic. Little away from the described area, but only info I can provide. I planned to backpack from antigo up to eagle river and spend the night this weekend, and ride back Sunday. Might just be...

    Biggest year in modern snowmobiling

    03 hands down. Rider forward, 4 stroke technology, all changed the future. Even the firecat was a heck of a fun ride (fast). Polaris was a lame duck in that time period unfortunately.

    SE WI - Walworth - Waukesha - Racine - Kenosha - Jefferson Counties

    Doesn’t make any sense SB… but If it makes you feel better, I live in a county that is ALWAYS the last to open in the state. “Not enough frost in ground, creeks/swamps not froze enough, not enough snow in fields” been hearing the same chit for years. Too many policies and politics involved to...

    Another Helmet Question

    Read on Doo talk there is a new brp helmet coming called the advent to compete with the mission, which is why the oxygen helmets are currently on sale at all Doo dealers since Feb 1

    Warm up this week?

    The little man won’t be with us on the backpack trip next weekend, but the 3 of us will be staying in Minocqua at the waters the weekend after next! He loves the water park there, have been bringing him there every year since 2020.

    Warm up this week?

    Agree unfortunately. Supposed to backpack it from antigo up to eagle river for the night next Saturday. Hoping it still works out, worst case we’ll just have to trailer all the way to eagle river and ride from there.

    Kind of confusing why they wouldn’t leave them open for the weekend… likely the last and only hurrah.

    Off trail riding on the local news

    TOTALLY understand, but if a bicyclist cut across your property every day to save time on his daily bike ride, you would never know, until 1 day bam he hits a tree and breaks his arm and sues you. Does everyone jump on the ban all bicyclists bandwagon? No. I’m not trying show any disrespect...

    Off trail riding on the local news

    I get all that guys, I really do, I’m just simply saying, because we leave (harmless) tracks in snow, everybody wants to hang our heads, and I just can’t fathom how we as society got to this point… Like I said, if an ATV trail ran in the same spot and there was a cool jump on this power line 50...

    Off trail riding on the local news

    Didn’t really complete my thoughts on this previously so I’m going to give it another go… I’ve done my fair share of off trail riding in the UP in legal areas over the past 10 years. Have never done so anywhere in Wisconsin as it is not legal, and no thrill in <2’ of snow that Northern WI...

    While I do agree that Walker Evans and KYB shocks are nothing special, if they were chasing Cat, then why does Poo and Doo hold 3/4 of the market share? And it shows out on the trails as those 2 are by far the majority. I realize everyone has the right to their own opinion, but I think 75% of...
