Well… where ya at? 1,100 for myself. Shaping up to be some great late season riding, unfortunately not a ton of free weekends coming up for me, but looks like some closer counties are opening increasing my chances of some day trips.

2958.1 according to my speedo. It helps being able to make a drop of the hat decision and go for a ride. Only destroyed a set of skis and carbide’s on mine and momma’s sled so far.🥴 But mine is over 5400 miles and momma’s is over 3500.

About 700. Went to the UP for 4 days during the cold spell so our days were a bit short. Had a great time though. Was planning on going somewhere again towards the end of Feb but it might get pushed to March. Busy kids schedules and all...

Every area in the UP that has good snow has been bottlenecked with traffic. Have to do your homework to stay off the beaten path, and also avoiding trail 8 east out of Munising is a big one. No different than trail 3 leading into Houghton. 1 main artery trail, nothing else to relieve the traffic.

That's pretty much what we did on day 1 (which was the sunday of mlk weekend). When we got to the hotel sat night other sledders we talked to were mentioning how busy it was, which was totally understandable. We were on 8 for about 10 miles max and saw probably close to 100 sleds going the other way). Used an old garmin nuvi to get off the path the rest of the day. So many roads and paths to discover out there. Nice relaxing day in deep snow and no traffic

I'm right at 700 miles. 2 trips, with one being the super cold stretch. The trip in South Range was the Sun-Wed, the coldest stretch of the season. Sounds like the same for some others. It was very low traffic though! It limited some miles on Tuesday, but the others were normal.
I'll be heading up this weekend, basing out of Tomahawk area.
