    Anyone carry a first aid kit with them? Looking for options

    I realize that in a severe situation on a sled, a first aid kit might not make a difference, but I always carry a small one in my backpack when flying around the country for my job, and I thought to myself the other day it would be a good idea to carry one on the sled. Just something for a cut...

    1-30-2012 Snowmobiler runs over ice fisherman/student in UP. Your help is needed.

    Police still haven't found the perp yet. The student has two broken legs. What a shame. I'm sure the locals already know all about it, but if you were riding in this area, read this story and see if you can help find the moron that did this...

    Huron-Manistee National Forest Decision - Not what was asked for, but not bad.

    Looks like we get to keep our existing trails in the National Forests of Huron-Manistee. Also get to keep hunting there. But the Forest Service chose Alt. 4, which will re-designate 11 of the 14 management areas. I'm not sure what the redesignation will mean. Anyone else have a take on this...

    Could this end up being a good year for UP business?

    With all this lack of snow, it seems that the UP should have a better year (when it has snow). So, while it's a bust so far for most businesses south of da UP, if the snow sticks around in the typical snowbelts of the UP, those areas up there should have a great year. I recall the UP crying...

    Looking for an average snow depth map

    I'm trying to find a map of the midwest, which shades different areas according to the average snow they receive each year. Looked all over NOAA and such, but can't find anything. Just curious. I'm sure it would shade all of the of the counties bordering Superior in a different color than the...

    Got to drive the groomer

    I've always wanted to drive one, not just to see what it's like, but to get as involved as I can in making our local trails enjoyable. I've been a member of our club for over 8 years and have been dropping hints about helping in the groomer for the past 2 or 3. Last weekend our main groomer...
