    Interesting...

    I read this article about the Ski-doo V Cat lawsuit. https://michsnowmag.com/2020/12/30/arctic-cat-vs-ski-doo-its-a-draw/ Apparently it was not a total victory for Ski-doo. I noticed for 2023 Ski-doo is offering a 200 this year. I hear in the rumor mill it is a rebranded Cat/Yamaha 200. I...

    Mackinac Island?

    Is the ice bridge to Mackinac Island open? Is there another source other than the US Coast Guard Station in St. Ignace for getting a status of the ice bridge?

    Yamaha Snowmobile Development?

    So, what was your take on the article in Snow Goer regarding Yamaha moving its development out of Minocqua?

    It is amazing what warm weather does!

    This guy used to have it listed for $23,000.&nbsp; The snow melts and warm weather comes and he drops it by $8,000 to a more reasonable price.<br><br>https://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/snw/d/frankfort-2021-yamaha-srx-le/7285006440.html

    Arctic Cat C-Tec2 v Yamaha 2T 2-stroke oils

    Now that Yamaha is using Cat's 2-stroke DSI engines, has anyone used Cat's C-Tec2 oil in a Yamaha with DSI or Yamaha's 2T oil in a Cat with DSI? Since the engines are the same, I would suspect the oils are the same. Maybe a different color. Any thoughts?

    Mercer trail conditions?

    Can any tell me what Mercer trails are like. The, 9's, the 12's, and the 13's. (I don't like riding the 8's as much since they started plowing so many of the roads in the area.) I checked the Great Northern Motel webcams and it shows thin, brown, grainy snow. It the other trails pretty...

    2022 Snowmobiles

    Wasn't it about this time last year Cat released their 2021 snowmobile models. So where are the 2022 models? :smile-new:

    Planning a saddlebag trip across the UP ...

    but look at all the red on this map from the DNR's GIS. Hard to get anywhere. I hope they open up some of these trails soon.

    There is always that one sled ...

    ... you wish you still had. For me, the T660 turbo.

    2021 Yamahas

    If there was any year for Yamaha to bring out a "Yamaha" sled, and not a rebranded Cat, this should have been the year. They have added two more 2-strokes, both made by Cat. What is Yamaha thinking? How many Yamaha loyalists will be jumping ship now? I mean, you have waited long enough for a...

    The Fat Lady ...

    Is she warming up her voice for the season? Not looking good for one last trip of the season unless something changes really quick, which can happen. In the mean time, give the sled a wash down next weekend, put a little grease in the suspension, and maybe call it the season. Unless there is...

    Winter's Prediction a bust for NE Illinois?

    In my opinion, it appears most of the predictions for the winter season have been off for the Chicagoland area. The Weather Channel indicated that we would have below average temps for the winter. And in October I would have believed it. But, so far this winter, we are having above average...

    New Banner

    John - I like the background banner with the snow, but there needs to be snow falling to enhance the effect. Just suggesting.

    Are all the new Cats out?

    Is Cat releasing the new 2020 sleds over a few weeks, or is the entire new line-up out? I don't see the Pantera and the Nytro motor is dropped. Which is probably from the expiration of the agreement w/Yamaha. Also, it appears they got rid of the shorties. Except for the 120, 200 and Lynx, it...

    2020 Models ... who will bring out what?

    Why not start the rumors now. I say BNG from all four manufactures to dump the surplus. Basically replacing the graphics on all the 2019, adding $200 to the MSRP, and selling them as 2020's. Any other thoughts?
