Im staying at the adventure motel on 12/15,16. I think its a go. I mean its early season riding. Where I'm from,UP early season riding is my best season riding lol. Realize you will only be able to ride south because the bridge opens on the 15th. i think they are getting anywhere from 1"-4" every night the past few days. As well as it might be snowing all weekend. Where are you staying??

Heading up also, will be staying in Rockland. Been hearing that its definitely early season riding, which is fine by me. Heard that Mass is about as far south as you want to go, not that you can't ride any further south if you wanted. Tried to book at Adventure but its all booked up, trying Peppermill this time.

We are staying at the peppermill. We are coming from Mpls and we know its early season riding but just want to be able to ride. It's going to be busy up there. Every place is booked solid

We are adding 7 more to the party, 14th through 18th staying in Greenland. So I understand sleds can't cross the bridge until is it Friday or Saturday? I certainly assume we can trailer across at any time? Surprised to hear things are so booked.

There is graduation in Houghton so that is contributing to the crowd.

peppermill has good clean places and the couple that run it are even better.

I didnt realize they had any places in Mass, I thought they were all in Rockland?

Glad to hear the good compliments on Peppermill, first time staying with them. Sounded very nice on the phone, looked good online. Looking forward to blowing the summer out of my sled.

Put on about 60 miles yesterday just from around rockland to ontonogan and around. The main trails, like 3, are in good shape. Offshoots can be hit and miss and there's definitely some open water areas that are easily crossable. There is a mud area just outside of Rockland where a guy got stuck in last night, I would take the north trail in/out of Rockland. Snowing pretty good right now, we're gonna hit trail 13 today, which I heard conflicting remarks about how good it is. All in all, early season riding but definitely worth it.
