    Helmet Electric Sbhield

    Looking for an electric shield for a Polaris Modular Helmet. Part number is 2852435. No longer available, but I'm hoping someone might have one sitting on a shelf unsold. This is made for a 2002+ Modular Polaris Snowmobile Helmet. New preferred, but used is possible if the lens are still in...

    Trails still good to ride in the U.P.

    Update to yesterday's report under "Ride this week"...Today (3-20-19) we rode from Copper Harbor back to Calumet, basically good trails, few sleds, still wet soft snow but there were no expected morning crispy trails as the temperatures did not go under freezing as had been predicted on the TV...

The caution signs suggest that riders might encounter the groomer while traveling on the trail...

    A nice ride with a bad ending

    Ever return to your drop point and find your vehicle and trailer gone? Happened to us at a motel two weeks ago north of the bridge. We very carefully crossed the t's and dotted the i's when we parked in a very familiar location, but someone else had different ideas. Sort of sounded like the...

    Found a compass very suitable for snowmobiles

    After years of looking, I have finally found a compass very fitting for use on a snowmobile. After viewing an ad in SnowGoer magazine recently I did an internet order for the Marlin Quest compass ($89.95 with free shipping) and mounted it using only velcro to the center of the rubber handlebar...

    Ready to Ride for Next Winter (almost)

    This past winter provided decent riding from about Wausau north, so by trailering I had 3,140 miles of smiles and it seemed reasonable for me to once again trade in a 1 or 2 year old sled for a new one. There were some OK spring deals on sleds that remained left over, so I made the purchase...

    Corridor-21 south of Butternut, Wis.

    Noticed on Thursday that Corridor-21 heading south from Butternut (Ashland County) is still being rerouted due to "Open Water" according to a sign where the reroute starts. Hmmmm. Extreme cold temperatures have been with us for almost all of February, wonder where or what the open water...

    Arrow signs vs Turn-arrow signs in Wisconsin

    Well, one thing's for certain--Wisconsin's continuing confusion over the use of turn arrows vs. curve ahead warning signs is very much alive and well. Of course is doesn't help that the current Wisconsin snowmobile trail signing handbook shows on page 4 that "Directional arrows should.....and...

One of the first steps will...

    Trail opening and closings

    Kudos to Columbia County for their latest trail update. Here we are once again facing the dilemma on how to best handle trail closings when facing a short 2-3 day possibility of temporary daytime temperatures above freezing while otherwise almost ideal conditions are present: cold night-time...

    Did Travel Wisconsin change their website?

    Wondering if anyone else is having trouble using Travel Wisconsin which seems to have changed from what it was last year? Seems to take forever now to navigate the snowmobile part of their website. Maybe its just me (a dinosaur) still trying to be like my children when they "fly" through their...
