Not much.

I can't remember when it was this skinny in mid-January.


On the other hand, A arm sales are way up.:eek-new:


I gotta find a better option other than stock for sons RMK.

Tell him to slow down, stay in control, I haven't had to replace an a-arm in years.

Seriously? I just rode Painesdale/toivola area Saturday and thought it was fantastic for January 11. In the past 7 years I’ve been backcountry riding I can’t remember very many years I could sidehill/tree ride wherever I wanted without being overly cautious of what’s underneath. Everybody’s take on backcountry riding is vastly different. If you’re riding mostly flat ground then yeah this snow sucks. But for tree riding the U.P’s steepest drainages and ravines i think the conditions are great for early/mid January 677B1AEF-C526-4C3D-8081-3952F2798834.jpg

The hills are holding g good snow, you are right.

Unfortunately my son and his buddies can't stay on hills all the time and the flat terrain is where the A arms have been taking damage.

My sons buds M8 really took damage and the A arm broke and cracked up some stuff on the engine to do with the cooling system.

Went up today and rode all day. Holy FRESH! Conditions are all time right now for tree riding especially in mid January. What a good day. Besides a couple videos I literally took one picture all day and it was at the truck when we were heading out because it was so good. FDCA5A6B-AD1D-46B3-9348-B623F81CE96B.jpg

Conditions are nice now.

My son and his buds have been going crazy and having a good time. I've been working a little much but tomorrow night I'm going out which will be perfect because the snow will be settled just a little bit and should be ideal.

Enjoy!!!!
