I am considering purchasing a 2024 leftover sled for trail riding. The discounts are favorable right now so I may need to pull the trigger quickly. This sled would be used to introduce grandkids to trail riding, so a 2 up seat would be added. I would appreciate thoughts on buying a 129” vs...

I have a set of Viking tire chains model 2228QC that fit a 17” - 18” tire. These have never been used and are still in the original bag, but will not fit my new truck. I think they retail for about $100. I’m asking for $50 OBO. I live just north of Green Bay about 2 miles off Hwy 41-141...

I am not in panic mode yet, but it would be great to hear of ANY positive news on conditions in the UP. Maybe the lack of snow has allowed the ground to freeze deeper? Or more trail work has been completed because of the lack of snow? Or a later start will allow for more grooming once things...

I am in the process of replacing my current snowmobile hauler/camper and am interested in hearing opinions on the use of solar power in the camper. One of the trailer options includes a 100 watt solar system, a 2000 watt inverter, a two 12-volt deep cycle batteries. I realize solar may not be...

We did nearly the same ride as John on Saturday (even met him briefly at the Mariner). The snow was sugar in many areas with some bare spots scattered throughout. Unlike John we went to high rock, which was a terrible ride but a nice view. We bypassed fish cove after the high rock experience...

We have non refundable reservations in Marquette this weekend, so I guess we‘ll spend a few days exploring the Marquette area by truck instead. Cancellation of the race is a pretty good indication that trail conditions are expected to be less than ideal. We will bring the sleds along just in...

While conditions will undoubtedly be less than ideal, does anyone have suggestions for riding this coming weekend (12/4)? I have to make a trip UP this weekend anyway and just wondering if it would pay to pull the sleds along for a quick ride. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated...

Anyone know about this transaction and/or the plans? https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2021/08/23/former-cold-war-radar-base-up-could-become-tourism-spot/ or https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2021/08/23/former-cold-war-radar-base-up-could-become-tourism-spot/

I was hoping to complete an oil change on my 2018 Xf9000 Cross Country this weekend. I am having trouble removing the oil drain plug. It appears that a 3/16 Allen wrench would work but that does not seem like an exact fit. As usual what seemed like a fairly easy DIY has me stumped. Any...

My wife, son, and I are planning to ride somewhere in the UP on Saturday 1/4, but I am undecided on where to go. The limited trail reports that I've seen are not great. We are leaning toward the Seney/Munising area but are also considering Ishpeming as well. Since our riding time is pretty...

I went for a ride Sunday morning 2/07 from Jack Pines near Stueben to Munising. Trail 41 to 8. When I stopped for gas in Munising I noticed my tunnel bag was missing. I started doubling back and met a groomer on trail 8 who had just run between Shingleton and Munising. He had not seen my bag...

I have my sled trailer set up for camping and am looking for available winter sites with electric hook-up near snowmobile trails in the UP. I have been looking at campgrounds and very few are open in the winter. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't need much for accommodations but...

We had the pleasure of staying at the Running Bear Resort in Paulding, MI this weekend. The nice, clean, and warm cabin after a long day of riding was most appreciated. Better yet was the hospitality. Trail 3 from Bruce Crossing to Paulding was the best stretch from Houghton, and I heard that...

We have a group of 12 scheduled to backpack from the Running Bear to Big Bay on Friday and back on Saturday. Can anyone give advice on if the trails are rideable between these locations? Is this a trip worth doing given the current conditions? Would a different route be better? We can't...
