Yep '07-'08. Took my daughter and a buddy with his son up to Newberry area for their spring break March 27 thru first week of April. Had great riding, mostly trail because of the kids (ages 7 and 11) being with us but was an awesome trip. Here's a few pics, you can see how much snow was left - TONS!!

Pic 1: The kids sitting on a bench buried in snow at Taq. Falls
Pic 2: My daughter at the entrance of the Brewery
Pic 3: The Falls
Pic 4: My buddy w/ the kids on his rental sled - check out the trail for the end of March first of April. My buddy's kid ended up smokin' a small tree while trying some offtrail stuff on the 1000 2-up and bent the right side trailering arm up in a bigtime "V". We were almost done riding for the trip and that happened - oh well.
Pic 5: My daughter and I in front of an awesome ice dam on Lake Superior

Glad you brought this topic up. It was good to look at the pics from the trip. Reminds me how important it is to keep my daughter involved with this addiction I have to sledding.

I cant remember the year but i rode the L.P. first weekend in April a few years back! It was actualy the weekend of the Omer sucker festivile
 
last year

indy , last year it was pretty much done the 1st week of march when my wife and me went up on thurs. and it was 60 some degrees in watersmeet. they had warm weather the rest of the year like this year but then got dumped on later on . this really stinks too because usually get 1000-1500 miles on in march alone and got screwed 2 years in a row. couldve easily broken my old record this year too.(5151 miles) ended up with 4906 miles with only 2 days of march riding . i know still a great year but the season is short enough without losing march again. long time til december again.
