is that combined with artificial snow?

No, that's natural snow. They call it the Jay Peak Snow Cloud.

Heading out from my driveway tomorrow afternoon.  Looks like trails have been groomed but should be good and roughed up by lunch.  Tons of sled trailers coming into and through Duluth today.  Lotsa people probably getting out for the first big ride of the year. Gonna be a tangled mess of fucking tourists getting thicker further north.

We had to go to central NH today, we met a lot of trucks and trailers headed to northern NH. There seems to be a lot of sleds around here this weekend as well :bc:  Hopefully this cold spell freezes up the open water bars.

Last night when I got home from work I parked my car so it was within 6" of the tongue of the trailer. Before I went to bed it had slid about 1 foot down the driveway. This morning I found it moved another two or three feet. All that ice was good though, nobody in the stores this morning to get in the way and a lot less traffic on the roads.20170118_100812.jpg

I bought 2 as well. And a trailer. I've spent almost $27K in the last 10 months.  This fucking weather is BS :flush:

Good year to sell it..... All we've got is ice, and its melting.

Actually, I've probably got closer to $30k, with taxes, plate, registration, insurance, riding gear (my son needed all his gear from head to toe) studs, carbides , etc    

 

Lots of winter left still. Have to try and think positive. Winter of '00-'01 when my son was born (12-9-00) I didn't think I was going to ride much or at all.  Ended up selling my '95 FormulaZ 583 a couple days after he was born.  Long story short, I ended up picking up an '01 MXZ800 for $6,999otd on Jan 26th,2001. And made my first trip that year Jan 27th.  Ended up going N 3x that year and ride just under 1,300 miles. Not bad considering I didn't plan on getting out much with a newborn at home. 

 

Coincidentally, my first trip N this year is Jan 27th. So there's still hope

Aren't you glad that you aren't on the North Slope anymore? I saw a report from the NWS Fairbanks yesterday saying it was -54 in Frankie's hometown.

We've been stuck with cloudy, foggy weather with highs in the mid 30's for the last week or so. Snow and mixed precipitation is forecast for tonight and tomorrow. Today looks to be the only sunny day for the next week.

Thankfully they didn't get as much rain in the UP as they were forecasting. Temps are dropping starting tonight and should be some great riding this weekend. 

 

Hop in that little girls truck and get up there

That's kind of the thing....I need to take my girl riding but it will be her first time on the trails. I don't want to drive too far because we don't have a lot of time but I don't want to go by all the crazy wana be racers near Gaylord. Was actually thinking of going up near the Pink Store Mio area until in warmed up so much.
