    Yet Another weather WTF

    yeah I was thinking about him while reading this thread. However John has to use the same crappy models that get it so wrong so it's not so much him or even the sensationalized people on TV but where they are getting their info from. They report what the models say and probably do their own...

    Are you ready to Rumble??? Heere Bleezard Bleezard!!!

    so true. I think the "models" or the algorithms that are used to run them are way off a week out. Seems like they are always more aggressive at first then end up being a normal winter snow event. It's winter for gosh sakes. come on. Dangerous wind chills, deadly this, once in a generation that...

    BRP Exome Radiant Helmet

    I think i saw a cool red colored oxygen. Almost like a candy red like yamaha used to have on their apex sleds. I could be wrong but thought I saw it on BRP website. And they have white too

    BRP Exome Radiant Helmet

    It does. Once you are used to having the cord it becomes second nature to unplug. Takes a bit of time but eventually you get used to it

    BRP Exome Radiant Helmet

    I felt that way too for many years. Then I had the opportunity to get rid of the rubber face cone and had to try. Now I could care less. If it makes me warm, I can play music in my helmet and no snot mops being replaced at the restaurant...worth it to me. But I know what you mean with the cable...

    BRP Exome Radiant Helmet

    I'm done with the face mask/snot mop/fighter pilot attachment thingy. from what I see on doo talk the discussion is for sure the mission helmet and oxygen. That is if you aren't riding with an open face freezing your face nuts off.

    How many trips planned and where?

    I hope I'm wrong but whenever there is so much hype from all sources it ends up being a bust. Thats what has me concerned. I hate thinking that way but it's been the case many many times in the last several years.

    How many trips planned and where?

    really the only way to make something happen with numerous people involved and everyone's schedules is to schedule it (pending snow). Otherwise something always comes up.

    Cold/Flu bummer

    I'm not a doctor but I would imagine the negative consequences of getting the shot may diminish over time especially once you start getting exposed to the outside world thereby giving your immune system a workout. Stay healthy, workout if you don't do a job that demands physical activity, eat...

    Cold/Flu bummer

    I remember watching doctors say in the beginning of the lockdowns say that we would see people getting more sick and not be able to shake illness that would normally not be an issue. Isolation and COVID shot would suppress the immune system. Just a comment, not going political.

    Overnight trip from Phelps/Conover, where to?

    That's the exact route we take every year multiple times. They are usually great to ride and never really packed full of sleds. Beautiful scenery too. To expand a little. We leave Florence on 2 heading west to Iron river. Top off the gas, then west to 15 then north to 8, east to Sidnaw, top...

    Overnight trip from Phelps/Conover, where to?

    Amasa, Iron River, (Mi), Crystal Falls, Sidnaw all have somewhere to get food and gas. Not as big a deal as some believe. The run from Amasa to Republic is a little long but so it Republic (or Koski Corner) to Big Bay. Great trails and yes remote but worth it.

    Overnight trip from Phelps/Conover, where to?

    Exactly. As stated in another response to Abe...this is one of my favorite areas to ride. I used to be a little careful suggesting since I didn't want the traffic to increase too much but now my thinking is why not? Only those flexible enough with their schedule will try these trails out anyway...

    Overnight trip from Phelps/Conover, where to?

    ok. I see what you are saying. I realize you are comparing the snow conditions to 20+ years ago, but since 2002 I would say it's been pretty consistent and the area you are referring to is one of my primary areas I ride. Typically lower traffic than west of Sidnaw (which I like) and once you get...
