    NOT an April fools joke!

    The storm tomorrow showed rain for the past week on the forecast models… now out of nowhere today it’s turned to snow. Just listened to Steve Beylon say Green Bay could see a foot or more on the local news and I was dumbfounded as I did not see this coming. He said all the forecast models...

    2025 Sleds

    It’s not over!

    At pine stump as we speak. Started about halfway between Seney and Grand Marais and headed this way. Pretty darn good for bare ground a few days ago!

    Refrigerators

    Is there a go-to brand preferred? Every year at tax time I upgrade something in my house and this year it’s time to replace my 9 yr old Frigidaire “professional series” refrigerator that came with the house when it was built. Makes a ton of weird noises, the latch system doesn’t work...

    Great trip up nor… I mean down south!

    Had a great extended weekend down in northwestern Dane, and southwestern Columbia counties! We stayed on the east side of Lodi at Quality Inn right off the interstate. Right next to a gas station, trail runs right to it. Put on about 200 miles in 2.5 days. Little limited how far we can ride as...

    Carter/Togwotee

    Many here have been accustomed to Carters Corner updates yearly for quite some time. Sadly, this post is to inform those that he has passed away. Togwotee won’t be the same without you! RIP Carter

    Milwaukee snow show is no more

    Snowmobile USA just announced they’re done with the show at the Milwaukee location due to a lack of vendors. With Kens Sports leaving the show and doing their own a few years ago, that kind of put the final nail in the coffin. Sad for area snowmobilers but the writing was on the wall...

    Lost a member

    From what I’m seeing on Facebook, sad to say it looks like we lost a member “snowdance” late Thursday night. Pat had gotten out of snowmobiling a few years back but was still very active on this site and was an avid motorcyclist. I believe he started the 3 old Alaska guys thread and posted...

    Polaris is brilliant

    About time we have something like this in this day and age! Polaris released an online marketplace for all new and used dealer inventory. No more searching from dealer to dealer to find sled inventory. https://polarisxchange.com/

    How many miles did you put on this season?

    1,850 for me! Pretty good year for me, lots of trips up north to different areas making some great memories. 23 days on a sled. Stayed in Ironwood one trip, 3 trips to St Germain, 1 trip to Eagle River, 1 trip to Ashland, and 1 trip to Bergland this year. Few day trips to ride Shawano langlade...

    Old Abe you out there?

    3/13

    Another 3-4” on top of the 2-3” that fell by 7pm last night in Greenville WI (NW Appleton). Gotta be getting close to our yearly snowfall record, and of course the trails never opened once…

    Munising and East?

    Any trail updates on how they’re holding up in Munising and to the east, Seney, Newberry, Grand Marais? I have never been to this area, little man has off school Friday and we all took vacation to go to minocqua. With 3/4” of rain coming to northern WI and western UP, I’m thinking they won’t...

    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.

    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...

    Vilas goodness!

    Get it while it’s good! Spent Thursday-Sunday in St Germain after 10” fell Wednesday into Thursday. Hit most of the western half and central part of Vilas county, did a night ride down to lake tomahawk as well, and rode nothing but excellent trails all weekend. 250 miles this weekend, maybe 10...

    1/19/23

    Over 3” now in Greenville Wi. Been at work in Appleton for an hour already, snowblowed 2-3” at 4am, might be pushing 4” at the rate it’s coming down. Hopefully the total doubles!

    What is going on

    A second Skidoo found its way into my garage. Guess that’s what happens when Polaris’ equivalent sled is over $3k more! Should be fun
