16 below when we left.January 21, 2013 at 2:21 pm #1133114Quote:

Seems like since the mid 80’s a trailer is a must have when owning a sled. Even then the good snow came late in the year.
Man were the 70’s good for sledders! Go anywhere we wanted including down town!

We sold our sleds 3 years ago. Haven’t regretted it yet. According to the “experts” this is the new normal (temps and precipitation).
January 21, 2013 at 2:49 pm #1133131I try hard to feel bad for sledders, but………….
Sell the things and go buy a second boat for winter fishing.
January 21, 2013 at 4:26 pm #1133191I hate shoveling my driveway, but dang it all I want some snow too so we can hit the trails!!
January 21, 2013 at 5:07 pm #1133206I did that very thing…sold the sleds and have a dandy Winter boat that works great in Summer too. Only downside is having two boats, 3 engines, 6 batteries and all the other stuff around
January 21, 2013 at 7:53 pm #1133281No kidding. My wife and I were just discussing how ridiculous it is we that keep every weekend open just in case there is snow. We have been on high-alert for two winters running. This one is really bad. You cant even trailer anywhere to ride good snow. I would say I am on the back side of my sledding career because back in the day I would have at least hit a lake by now but I no longer have that much interest.
January 22, 2013 at 2:44 pm #1133506Tom, a friend and I bought a winter boat, and now it’s -11, and still no snow. I cant get a break. If it weren’t for my young kids who love to ride(when we can), I’d have already sold them.
The UP is getting whalloped by lake effect right now. 14″ in the last week and snow in the forecast every day for the next 7. Might be time for a trip.January 23, 2013 at 10:04 am #1133757Mike,
I am heading to White Pine MI today. Lots of snow. Just wish I didn’t have to drive 6 hours to find it. I am lightly regretting purchasing a brand new sled to go twice a year. Maybe things will change?January 23, 2013 at 12:59 pm #1133783White Pine north of Bergelund has good snow?

NO! But when you find someone to buy yours, make sure to let them know there is 2 more with another trailer, just in case they were looking for more garage decorations……

You wouldn’t be the only sledhead…we’ve been invaded. Normal winter has returned.
I’m in the Keweenaw and we’ve had anywhere from 5″ – 15″ daily for the last week and a half.January 24, 2013 at 4:01 pm #1134278Quote:

Mass City is the snowline cut off from what I’m hearing right now. North of Mass is loaded, south is a bit sparse.
January 24, 2013 at 6:49 pm #1134391While I love the UP its such a long drive to Houghton. I spent a couple nights in Copper Harbor last summer so I am interested in getting back with sleds.
Thanks for the intel!!!January 24, 2013 at 7:35 pm #1134426Quote:

Awesome country. I used to work up there in the summer. I actually miss it, from time to time.January 24, 2013 at 7:40 pm #1134432We flew in from Dallas on Tuesday. I couldn’t believe the lack of snowcover.

Tell me something I don’t know.
With the exception of those taking the Ranger out to Isle Royale, nobody just passes through here…you have to want to come here. January 26, 2013 at 11:21 am #1134912Wakefield and north has plenty o’ snow now
February 4, 2013 at 1:37 pm #1137850Finally got out. Did 120 on Sat in northern Wi and it was such a welcome f’ing BLAST! I hope this warm weather doesnt get out of control. These clippers should keep it intact. Its not the base I would hope for but it works just fine.
February 4, 2013 at 9:32 pm #1138057Hoping to get over by park falls in a couple of weeks
February 7, 2013 at 9:23 pm #1139120Here we go. Had every weekend up till now open. Now that we can ride anywhere I have a commitment this weekend!!!
No fair.February 12, 2013 at 4:37 pm #1140896my bro in law says the trails were good New Richmond and north. that was before the ice/snow we got on 2/10.
