I can't remember the last time that almost the entire State of Wisconsin was under a Winter Storm Warning! The storm sure looks impressive on the satellite views!

First a 3 day Keeweenaw Blizzard now this? WOW...the switch sure flipped fast!! :)

Sounds like the snow is going to be of the light and fluffy variety. Not perfect but we'll take it right!!!!

I for one would love to be able to ride from my house to locations around the state!

You need about a foot out of this one and then have it continue east. How many years has it been since the Tuscobia has been fully groomed from one end to the other for 3 months?

Honestly, in our 5 years of living here, the issue with Tuscobia really hasn't been snow...it's the lack of consistent grooming. It SHOULD be treated as one of the top converted RR grade trails in the state. But IMO, from a grooming standpoint, it's one of the worst, if not THE worst, RR grade trail I've been on.

I will take what we get...but I hope the cold weather this week solidified the lake ice (hopefully we are at 6-8 if not more)....cause the snow is gonna insulate it...same goes for the swamps...we should be able and get out and pack trails and swamps this week...but...not sure what I'm gonna run into...those swamps were really full this fall...I'm always nervous out packing trails...especially on the swamps..so hopefully this cold snap did the trick.

Never been west of Winter on the Tuscobia but the part from Park Falls to Winter has always been good for the last few years. It does seem to get a lot of traffic though as do most corridors. I have also been on the Tri County Corridor when it is basically unridable. That one gets beat down right to the dirt just because of the traffic.

Jeez....it's when you hit them I guess! I've never been on the TCC when it's been moguled up. The Tusky.....mogul city lots of times.

Yep, the snow coming down here now has very little moisture in it, it's lighter than cotton. I hope the main feature later has some moisture in it!

In the last 5 ears it has been way better then it was when I first rode here in the 90's. It was always non stop mogels plus we has leaf spring fronts and 3" of rear travel. In the last 10 years it has been much better especially on the Rice Lake end. The ride home from the Wagon Wheel was always awful.
