Between work and all the playing in the snow, I managed to negotiate a deal with DCNR to run their large groomer across and back a 10 mile stretch of Gamelands that the Snowmobile Club tries to maintain with our smaller machines. It's a high traffic trail that connects about everything here on our limited trail system. What an amazing job they have done with it! I never thought I would see this section flat in my lifetime!

I'm getting ready to head to the UP of Michigan this Thursday evening for the next 10 days. After that, I may be ready to get the boat back out!

Another great weekend of riding in Lake George. Snow is DEEEP! Got stuck for the first time this year...twice lol. My buddy broke out his new Frozen Moto 450 KTM for the first time as well. Thing is a riot to ride. IT did better in the powder than my switchback!

Hey Scag...how did you like the UP?

We are all done for the year...low mileage for us....only got about 1400...BUT...most of our riding was in Wisconsin, where the trails are CRAZY tight and twisty...even the fastest riders would have a hard time averaging 30 mph. Rode last weekend...and it was in the 50s all week in the Northwoods...trails are toast. Just need to dump some StaBil in the sleds and put them away 'til next year!

Great trip - Thanks for asking! We covered ~ 1400 miles of the east side from Christmas to the Mackinac Island. We lost most of day due to an Apex throwing a stud thru the heat exchanger. Even though I told him the track was spent (9000 miles) before the trip, he insisted it would be fine... We towed him back, patched it with JB Weld and sent him up to Sault Ste Marie to trade it in on a new Viper. The trails were great all week due to lots of grooming, sub zero temperatures and low traffic. The Yoop is on the short list for next year!

We're done here too. I have over 2400 miles for the year, I just cleaned up the sled to drop it off at the dealer to snow check a new 2016 Axis Switchback 800.

I'll post some photos later today - it appears that my OSO membership expired out this morning. Lol
