JD- Thanks again for another season of snow predictions. It is always sad to see the snow forecasts put on hold for the summer and put the sleds in the barn. Really appreciate the service and wish you well with your upcoming medical adventures.

If you are a restaurant/bar/fuel stop of any kind, please let JDers know what's available. Hopefully other site users (like me) can plan our trips around your availability and help with business. Looking forward to this first step toward "normal". See ya soon!

Would it be possible for JD supporters to update their "open for business" status? It would be awesome to know what establishments will be open for food, fuel and pit stops. We have a small group heading up with plans to help with cash infusion into the local economy. Unfortunately, it would...

Haven't been up since the rains trashed trail 3 N. What trails are open and are new maps available showing what's open? Coming up tomorrow. Thanks! Dave

Julie's Motor Inn, Houghton took care of us! May have 1 room with 1 bed available. Call her, she's awesome and may be able to help you out!! Dave

Looking to get my son and the SKS into some backcountry. We will be staying in Houghton. Would love to tag along if you have room. He's 18 and digs me out when I stick the Renegade......Thanks, Dave

Looking to take my son out in the backcountry Feb 17,18,19. The AmSnow opportunity is a little more than the snow budget allows. Thanks, Dave

John, is it always a seasonal 22.8 degrees up there? The last week or so every time I log in it's 22.8. Thanks for all you do. Like it so much up there we're sending our son to Tech. Hope he gets to ride with you someday. Thanks, Dave

Looks like about 9" unofficially, from the deck of my co-worker. Rode last night and had the pleasure of breaking trail for a pack of 7. Absolutely fantastic!! Nice to go right from the back yard and get into such nice snow.

Hoped to head up for some riding the same weekend as the CD 150. Do the trails north of Calumet end up shut down for the race? Thanks, Dave

Figured if I made an error you wouldn't miss it!! Happy Birthday!

Thinking of doing my trailing arms over on my 99 skidoo and 04 edge Polaris. Any suggestions on what would be more durable?

Getting anxious. Hoping that the Polaris bunch has the wisdom to offer the Pro chassis in more than the Rush and RMK. If so, I'm taking the plunge on a new Poo. Otherwise plan A is to get an XP Renegade or Summit. This is harder than waiting for Santa!

In good shape, too small for my kids. Registered in WI so trail legal. New battery this spring. $875.00

I have a 1990 115 Merc. which has been a great motor and will have to continue to be and I am due to add oil to the injection tank and wondered if anybody has switched to a full synthetic. I have used the Mercury brand oil (non-synthetic) and had no issues. My last fill was a semi-synthetic...

It's September and I have the itch to upgrade the old sled. I really like the e-tec but wonder how it held up in the "real world". I am looking to get a Renegade or a Summit with the e-tec motor. I have seen several used Summits with the 600 carbed motor and the price and 20lbs lighter weight...

John, does the "heat island" effect of larger cities alter the snowfall amounts downwind? Seems like the area I live in is always shorted when compared to the northern or southern counties in this area. I am about 50 miles northeast of Minneapolis-St.Paul, MN. Thanks, Dave

John, not a weather question but I wondered if you have left hand throttles on your sleds and any other extras. I know you ride with a variety of "boondockers" and wonder what extra gear is essential for UP powder riding. Tried to see if addressed in other threads but not much luck. Thanks...

I like the Premier ad, but I miss my local temp and weather conditions at the airport that used to be in its place. Just wondered what happened to it.

John, do you still do the radio broadcasts between the good seasons? (Winter and Winter!) Heard you in Feb. when I was in Calumet and wondered if that is a full time gig for you. Thanks, Dave
