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...

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...

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...

All I’ve heard is bad intel on 109, anyone have anything new on the 109? We’re wanting to take it tomorrow (Friday) but have heard nothing but nightmares....??

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...

I can't figure out how to post a picture but I bought a new sled yesterday, 2019 Polaris Assault 800......Stoked.....pick up Sat, first trip weekend of the 25th in da UP. Happy to show a pic if someone helps me out! - - - Updated - - - Oops, looks like I was extra efficient at figuring out...

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...

I have a friend looking to buy 2 of these and it looks like Ski-Doo will not offer the XR-S or the X Renegade models unless you Spring ordered them??

Running from Gogebic to Copper Harbor, spending night at Pines and returning the next day. What are the good food/bar stops starting in Houghton and North that are good? Is the Pines the best breakfast option in Copper? Feel free to add anything cool to check out as well, this will be Dec...

Anyone have any data/info on the freeze status on the lake? Would appreciate anyone adding what they know here for anyone interested! Thanks in advance!

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...

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...

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.

I'm sure most of you recall the winter (2) years ago when we had a delay in temp drop and then got hammered with a bunch of snow. The rivers, streams, lakes and marshes had not froze yet and then were blanketed with lots of snow. I recall riding from Ironwood to Gogebic and it took over 2 hours...

All, hoping there is one you that is 6"3 and about 180 lbs? I am tasked with buying boots, bibs, jacket and helmet for my buddy at the snowmobile show in Milwaukee. Boots no big deal, he's a size 10. I'm 5"10 220 and I'm an XL all day. Helmet I will get his measurement and should be OK there...

I am afraid that if Northern WI and MN don't get hammered with snow soon, those of us going to the UP will face the same circus we experienced last year. I was just sledding in St. Germain around New Years and it was poor. It was better than not riding, great to be on the sled again, but snirt...

All, I have read a few articles on these and they look like a lot fun. (At least in off trail applications). What none of the articles discuss are the gears. As most of these are based off 450/500 dirt bikes, do you still shift gears, or is the bike stuck in say 2nd gear?

Aprilia Tuono Factory VR4, BMW S 1000 R, Triumph Speed Triple R..................

While recently in Copper Harbor, I had the opportunity to try some of the local brew, specifically, the UP IPA. I thought it was very good, does anyone know what the availability is of that beer outside of CH? (Would I be able to find any in Gogebic/Berglund area?) I emailed the brewery a few...

I'm sure this has been covered or brought up before, but I was thinking it would be nice for those of us out and about, to be able to recognize fellow JD members/fans? I'm thinking it should be something worn on a jacket/bib in the event we are "warming up at the local watering hole" and not on...
