    Me too!
    Put a new track on the sled, repacked the trailer bearings, bought a helmet for PJ and bought a sled pal(harness to strap him to me) and here we sit with no snow.

    I thought we were supposed to get dumped on again this year???

    I’m checking every day to find the right used sled for me. Found a couple but it’s hard to write that check to see it sit in the garage. Going to the UP in mid January. Secured a rental if I dont get one. Even used sleds seem to be a grand more than they should be? Maybe they will go down around here with no snowfall

    Regardless of snowfall my wife has been hounding me to go back to Michigan. Probably will this winter for sure. I think we will base in Bergland. I also love to go out of Brule or Iron River Wisconsin. We can make it there from the cabin but no further and north of there is fun. Just depends where the lake effect snow falls this year and when.

    Gotta be slow Tim. Warm weather still being forecasted. Not much in Hurley/Ironwood either.

    Finally went through mine on Sat. All the routine stuff done. Spit and polished on the outside. I was going to pull the suspensions as usual but just couldnt get motivated enough. The older I get the less I tear into them. Hifax is good. Shocks/springs are good and no obvious bearing issues. I had them all apart last year and didnt ride that much last winter. I got a feeling its going to be a real short season with travel involved to find snow.

    Seriously? I’ve heard “things” but John D doesnt support that and I know there isnt anything in Iron River. Cant wait to hear how it was. I’ll go up the next weekend.

    Over 80″ of snow. Trails are good to very good

    They say that but it’s a very small area where all that snow falls. South of there isn’t much to brag about. THis last system should help though.

    Finally got out. It was a blast but my body is aching.
    Looking forward to going more but it doesnt look like the weather is allowing it two weekends in a row. There was JUST enough for it to be decent around our cabin. Road around Trego. Washburn county grooming like crazy. For no logical reason whatsoever the trails were still closed in Burnett county.
