I've been in the market for land for a few years and love the low key atmosphere of the UP, the snowfall and hills. So I've taken to looking for acreage (30-40+) in the Western UP. I'm trying to keep the drive time down to less than 7 hours from SEMN to get to the land, and i'm amazed of the...

Finally have time to post these. Thanks to everyone for the recommendations on what to do in case there wasn't enough snow. We stayed at Big Buck Cabin in Greenland. MrsRunningBear, the sled hill was perfect for the kids (and me) at Bond Falls. We arrived to 45 degrees and a front came...

Continuing on the subject started earlier What are you doing between Christmas and New Years? , my family will be coming up to the UP no matter what after xmas. My kids said they wanted to come up, so we are staying in Greenland. We all have the week off mandatory from work so why not? With...

I took my sled (09 X-Fire 6) in for a once over at the shop and got the dreaded call this afternoon. My Diamond Drive bearing(s) was bad again. Last year, and only 200 miles ago, I had to have the innermost bearing replaced. At least this time, Arctic Cat will cover all the parts and...

My 9 year old daughter (80lbs) grew out of her Arctic Cat snowmobiling pants this year, so i am in search for a new pair. The problem is, he knees and pretty much her legs get cold from the wind hitting her on the back of the 2-up. Anyone have any suggestions on what pants may be best for her...

long story short, I have a spring assist on my enclosed sled trailer. I was cleaning it up and putting on new hardware when i removed one too many screws and the cable on the door side let go...and do i mean let go! The problem i have now is the spring does not have tension. How do i go...

Just wondering, i see all these posts...but what about us people that trail ride 100% of the time. I love to sightsee, but it would be trail only, is it worth it? it would be dumb of me to think i can go and try off tail when i've never done much of it. even if i were in shape (i'm not, 15...

Seeing we may not be able to run our sleds on the trials this coming weekend too much, i thought,what the heck, MI DNR has a free fishing weekend this weekend, why not give it a try? We'll be staying at the Root Cellar, and i'm wondering if anyone knows of House Rentals on the lake? They are...

I knew i should have been prepared, but the only snowmobile trip for the year is next weekend (19th) up around the Lake Gogebic area. this weather is the pits and it's left me struggling to find something else to do or somewhere else to go... Only plus is i see so far is its a free ice...

just got my sled back form the shop after a bearing in the DD was replaced. 2009 AC xfire 6 1200 miles... I get a clicking, only sometimes when i take off from idle or form around 10-15mph. It disappears until if slow down and take off again. Not sure if it matters, but since the...

I'm having a heck of a time with this one. around 5-40mph i get a squeak, not constant, just an eek,eek,eek...and its not quiet. anything over 40mph i cannot hear it, but as soon as i let off the throttle, it comes back. Pretty embarrassing coming home from a ride yesterday. I am worried...

It could be me, but can anyone else get to the redpine mapping website? I received an e-mail a few weeks back that stated the maps i purchased were updated, but i can't for the life of me get to the download. I ca get to the gpssledmaps site, but thats all...

sigh...I hate to see this and be associated to snowmobiling when this happens. http://www.postbulletin.com/newsmanager/templates/localnews_story.asp?z=2&a=481938

I checked out MI DNR's site for maps. They have printable ones...but i'm looking to see is either state offers to mail maps out? I know Minnesota does, but i cant seem to find WI or MI options. I did shoot an e-mail to the Keweenaw visitors place that posted here and requested a map, but...

I fogged the engine, added stabile and topped off the tank and the end of the season. These are now my specs symptoms and what i have tried... 2009 Xfire 6 with 1000 miles (warranty ends 12/8/2010) replaced the spark plugs drained all the gas I have spark. pulled the fuel line off the rail...

I was up in Grand Rapids, MN this past weekend and my sled started to backfire on startup. No backfires when i shut her down, just on the start. I have tried to let it run for a bit before shutting it down and get the same result on startup. everything is bone stock on this sled, new this...

a little over 10 years ago, I took home a pup from our local animal shelter. It's amazing how close you can get to these furry guys. Unfortunately, we found that Tuck had osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer that literally had destroyed his scapula and had metastasized and was effecting his...

just got back from our first trip to the UP ever this past week. Had a great time with the wife and 2 youngins. I don't think it stopped snowing the whole time we were there. Was neat to see the sun peek out on a drive we took up to Copper Harbor looking at water falls and lighthouses along...
