Great thread. Quite the walk down memory lane. Some real characters. Always thought it was cool that PD rode all night.

I rode with PD a good amount. He loved late night riding and we would get back to his place around 4-5 AM. He loved to stop at the highline norh of Mass and have a beer. No sleds out, quiet and great view of the sky....I actually became a big fan of that type of riding. The trails would be groomed and no one else on them, it really was the best time to hit great trails. We'd have a have a couple of beers and I'd finally hit my bed around 6 AM, Dan still blaring music.

I like night riding but fuel is the issue once you get past 10pm.

My crew was able to connect with PD a few times and even linked up for an overnight to Copper Harbor. Good times and miss him chiming in!

Also connected with WindingTrailGal years ago. Gave me some kids stuff as mine were young and hers were growing up. I know they bought a 2nd home in White Pine to sled all the time but she stopped posting years ago.

I view the site from time to time but clearly not like it was…Johns passing, a no snow year and Facebook posts from all the clubs seem to have affected it. I’ll still browse though and love the pics and reports!

Majority of guys I know that have drifted off were because they got out of the sport, or because they use other forms of social media instead of discussion forums.

Been on here since 2007 and I can count on 1 hand the amount of guys who’ve left over a conversation on here they didn’t like. Not that common of a reasoning in my mind. Kind of sad some dont have thicker skin to move past things like that but to each their own.

And like you mentioned, a number have passed unfortunately. RIP to all those, hope there’s endless amounts of snow up there!

I would absolutely love to see this forum to keep kickin as long as I live, and to see a resurrection of past members. But as you’re all aware, discussion forums are already a thing of the past, and the younger generation isn’t remotely interested in forums whatsoever. Forums were created before most social media platforms were, and were a great way for people with common interests to connect with each other. I myself am 10 years younger than the “young ones” on most forums. Only reason I got into them so young was I needed help at the time to wrench on my own sleds so I could keep riding them, and boy am I glad I did! Have met so many great people over the years because of this site.

A lot of people just can't get over themselves sometimes....You break their EGO and you break them it seems. It is kinda sad and ruins a lot of relationships and family.

Yeah, well, snobuilder was a piece of work alright! o_O But he seemed to keep the place alert, and active for sure! Being called snoblower would really set him off. It's been sometime ago, but I have had several PM's back and forth with him, on his riding areas, and possibly getting together to ride. He did seem very much different than when he was posting on the forum pages. But I lost track of him, and many others when my many medical issues took precedence. Perhaps his hard politics got to better of him?
