No sweat dude. Andy is currently kicking it as the service manager for Performance Boat Center in Lake of the Ozarks...lucky dog!

If you need any more info, feel free to hit me up...but if by chance I don't know what you need, here is an EXCELLENT resource for you: http://www.johndee.com/ John Dee is a meteorologist that moved up to the Keeweenau Peninsula in the Yoop years ago, and he runs the site, providing detailed sledder-focused forecasts. The forum there will be able to help you with just about anything you could possibly ask.

[QUOTE=Gladhe8er;4249966]This thread gets some good traction each winter(and some trash talkers!)

Where do you ride?
What do you ride?
etc.

I ride out of our house in Lake George NY. Will trailer to Indian Lake, Old Forge, Sacandaga, Vermont if need be. I try to get 1000 miles on each winter.

==================
If you want to Ride the Best,,,,, Come out West.

Subjective. If I wanna go steep and deep, it's on a snowboard. Digging sleds out from being stuck is among the things I hate most in life, lol. I LOVE my trails, and Wisconsin's Northwoods and Da Yoop are hard to beat...between the two states, there is almost 50,000 miles of trail.

Our club and trail system are small compared to the guys up north but we do our best with a limited budget and smaller equipment. We currently have a 2009/Skandic WT and just took delivery of a 2015 Skandic WT. I've been busy getting it ready for the season and since I'm the president, I get to do all the work. Lol

I designed and built my own hitch for the sled that will accommodate either a bumper drag or gooseneck style drag. After that, I needed to rebuild the front end on one of the drags to be pulled either way. Everything seems to work well in the little bit of snow in my yard.

We also have two club members that own tracked Snocats and 6'-7' wide drags. They also groom the public land.

I had a Yamaha V-Max mountain sled when I lived out west. We used to hit serious deep powder in the Tahoe region. After getting stuck in powder up to my shoulders a few times, I decided I hated it. I much prefer a groomed trail!! You really need to know how to ride in the deep stuff and you have to have the right machine. It's very easy to sink and bury it!

SB - Whats going on up there?? We are all set to head up to Colebrook on Wednesday and seems that a lot of areas fell victim to the rain. What's the latest on the trails out of Clobrook and Northwoods areas?

Thanks,

It rained like a Muthufker yestrday and last night.

Hit the ground and turned to ice. Inches deep.

I never put so much salt on my parking lot and it still has about an inch to go.

I had some lunatic friends ride from Twin to Errol yesterday. Said trails where real good, but then they had to turn around and come back in the downpours. Yuk !

So...........not much snow melted but I'd hate to guess on the conditions of the trails just a little further north.

I'd go to Hardcoresledder.com and go to NH section and see if anybody is reporting anything from today.

Wh were -F sat Morning. All day rain on Sunday from 10:00AM into evening.

Mother nature needs an attitude readjusment.
