    All I Want for Christmas Is....

    Was riding excellent vilas trails with 2+ feet of snow December 30 last year. Looks like something might happen mid next week, but these temps are warmer than normal for sure, and look to stay that way up until Dec 15-20. A lot has to happen in a hurry for that to change. Not trying to be a...

    All I Want for Christmas Is....

    How about some gawd dam snow!?! I’ve seen worse starts, but I would say 3/4 of early December’s are typically better across the north woods than what we got going on now.

    Overnight trip from Phelps/Conover, where to?

    That trip I took 12 years ago, I was on an 05 xc 500 and my dad on a 99 xc 700. He got 8-9 mpg and I got 10-11, and the oil lights came on around 150 miles. Definitely got worrisome at times riding in that area.

    Overnight trip from Phelps/Conover, where to?

    Rode out of Land O Lakes for a 4 day trip 12 years ago with my dad. Spent the entire trip riding said area. Sidnaw, Champion, Republic, Sagola, Amasa, Crystal Falls, etc. Some of the best trails I’ve ever ridden, and absolutely zero traffic. Haven’t been back since unfortunately. Got into off...

    Freda loop

    Lot of work needed and not much urgency to repair with no businesses or destinations in the loop. Was a fun loop, but let’s be honest, it only got ridden because people got sick of the railroad grade.

    Maybe it’s time to be a man and get an iPhone?!? ;)

    Anybody gearing up for the opener?

    I don’t know if I trust the source, he was probably drinking creamy darks looking through old pictures to send out!

    POLARIS FACTORY PRODUCTION

    It’s simple economics, the industry has been slowly moving toward this for awhile now. But, take it with a grain of salt, got to remember you are talking to a salesman, who wants to make money off of you. He is likely blowing it out of proportion. We all know selling new sleds isn’t the biggest...

    Sounded like in another thread he has had some health issues unfortunately and hasn’t gotten much use out of it yet.

    Anybody gearing up for the opener?

    Anyone have plans to ride next week(end)? Have a hotel booked for Ironwood next weekend to do some trail riding. Hoping the conditions improve next week, or will be a no-go. This little warm spell isn’t going help matters either, hope it works out as we’re pumped to ride! Figured I’d share a...

    Black Friday gear sales?

    Unfortunately it seems like Black Friday deals get worse every year in the snowmobile industry. But, fortunately, I live right by the dealer who has the best deals year around in the country on gear (kens sports)

    Speaking of past members

    Miss a lot of those guys! I feel like we’re missing quite a few still. Cuzzinolaf and firecatguy used to post a lot as well. Many of them mentioned, I do know have gotten out of snowmobiling, hence the reason for not seeing them on the board. Although I’m only 27, I’ve already been on this board...

    Waning Demand?

    Asking mid teens for a sled with 3k miles and actually selling it are 2 different things. Whether I’m actively buying or not I’m always looking at used sleds for sale, there was no such thing as a “good deal” last winter. This year so far there’s quite a few decent deals, and they sell fast...

    Waning Demand?

    Used Sled prices are down compared to last year that’s a fact. Problem is good deals are gone in 2 seconds.

    Polaris Sled Recall...230,000 units

    My 2016 Pro RMK is affected by the recall. I have ridden the sled in 6 states. It has touched almost every tree between Twin Lakes and South Range without an issue. It has been rolled over getting it unstuck 3,562 times. Still, no issues… When the $#1+ show calms down and my dealer can get me...

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    Agree 100%. The bigger problem with the situation though that I’ve been following closely is the false hope and the constant lying by Mr. Skinner & Co… Tells you what you want to hear to make you hopeful, tells you what needs to happen to make this work, and every time the club has offered a...
