    Closed helmets and prescription glasses.

    I find that the Ski-Doo Oxygen helmet allows me to wear my glasses most of the time without fogging. Sometimes you might have to crack the shield but this helmet works very well with glasses.

    Interesting snow amount stat to consider.........

    In looking at John Dee's historical snowfall amounts, the year 1957-58 saw a total of 130" of snow fall. The least yearly amount since the 50's. 1978-79 saw the most snow, over 354" for the year. I think to date in the UP they might have 20" total? Assuming mid March is the last of it, and...

    I dont know who's fault it is but...

    Recently came back from Lake Gogebic, was there Dec 27-31. This picture was taken off trail 3 between Twin Lakes and Bruce's Crossing. Can honestly say we saw some great stretches of trails with great snow and very little water spots. Also experienced some snirt but not much. The big lake has...

    Joe Roberts (Moto 2 Road Racing rider) turned down Aprilia's offer to Moto GP

    For my fellow Road Racers and Road Racing fans, did you hear about Joe Roberts (Only US rider I think in Moto 2) Aprilia offered him a seat for the 2021 season on their Moto GP team and he turned it down. I don't blame him and I respect his decision. Kinda like a sophomore/Junior turning down...

    Volunteered last weekend for local snowmobile club, good times!

    Drove up to the UP to give the Gogebic Range Trail guys a hand. (Steve, Dan, Jerry and Greg (I know there were a few others at the barn that morning) We helped put a few posts and signs up and a lot of brushing! It was cool to see the trails mostly bare without snow. I also realize how much work...

    2019 Polaris Assault 800 Break in

    I tried searching for this as I am sure it exists but i found nothing? Curious to see what your thoughts are on using pre-mix for 1st tank, or just trust computer and smart throttle usage? If pre-mix, what mix ratio and assuming if you are using the VES Synthetic, can you pre-mix that oil or...

    Coming clean

    I first got my thirst for snowmobiles when a childhood friend allowed me to ride his Kitty Cat. I was hooked on the first ride. Years later I was the one who he would ask to help him get it started, or address any technical issues. We would ride every winter until we were too big. Fast forward...

    Wow, fading fast!!!...........

    Was just looking at some web cams, specifically Bug bar and you can really see the amount of snow loss up there! For someone who has a trip planned in less then 3 weeks, I am getting a little nervous. Hopefully those that rode up there this weekend will say that though there was snow loss, the...

    Anyone else a little concerned about the forecast next week??

    John's forecast seems a little better than others as far as the temps, but from what am seeing from other weather spots, the UP will see a week with highs above 35 and a few days in the 40's!!! I am hoping like all the rest of you that this is not going to become a reality. Where I live they...

    Forest maps?

    I am pretty sure this has been posted a while back but couldn't find anything. I am looking for a map in the UP, (Gogebic & North) that shows all of the forest roads that are legal to ride but not plowed. Where can I find this info? Thanks in advance.
