I'm glad I sold my sled 3 weeks ago and didn't buy a new one. I'll wait until next year when there will be super deals on left over 06's

Myself and a friend drove to Clam Lake yesterday and rode from there to Ironwood over to Marenisco and back down to Clam Lake. Beautiful day riding and trails were groomed and snow covered. Figured it could be the last time riding this season, still hoping for another trip to the UP the third week of March but with the way this season is going it's not guaranteed.

Pizza Man you should be able to get one **** of a deal on a 06 now, even better next year. He'll probably even get vintage stickers for it :)
 
Poured here in Mpls too. I guess we sure nailed our UP trip spot on last week. Snowed every day. I'd say we got lucky with a year like this.

Glad we went last week. 750 miles of good riding in 5 days. Wonder how the Birky is going in the rain?

Hope the UP is good in two weeks. Supposed to come up on the 5th. Looks like the weather will settle down after this weekend. If not I guess it's off to Ontario again. Have trailer will travel

We had close to the same, 730 miles and it could have been more. Sunday it was too warm and trails were all whoops so we only did 40 miles. We had 600 miles on by Wed. eve. but I had a mechanical failure (my fault). I had the rear shock recharged and I didn't locktite the nut/bolt that holds it in place in the rear skid. The nut fell off and backed out the bolt putting all the pressure on one side of the scissor arm and snapped it in half about 1/2 mile from cabin......lucky there. Pat's had me up and running before noon on our last day but obviously wasn't free but we got another 130 miles on before we went home.

Where you headed and how long you staying? I'm heading up 5-8th, one night in Houghton then to D's. Probably only riding one day and just hanging at different places with friends up there for the other ones. May decide to ride two days, but not making any plans for sure. Would be fun to meet up sometime depending on where you end up whether it's for a little ride, or to catch some food or drink.

Should be fine ...Not much damage so far in WUPMI.... rode home in rain sleet & snow last night trails were very good. We were coated in 1/8" of ice looked like cast from Frozen.lol :)

That's about what we are currently planning on. My son has his last bball game on Saturday the 5th (1st grade), then heading up after that with a couple of guys. Planning to ride 6/7/8 and head back after that. We don't have a destination in mind yet - kind of seeing where the snow is first.

So what does Lando and towards Phelps look like right now?
Trails were hanging in there last night, no problem,no traffic & Phelps trails were groomed out. Right now in Phelps plowed roads thick ice with snow cover snowed all afternoon. Would not think Lando would be too much different on secondary roads.
