Sunday mid afternoon thru Thru are the best days to ride. Trails are usually flat and fast 57 minutes ago, ckf said: Fridays tend to be busy around here.

Snow in the Lower not being that good always affects the UP traffic when they have better snow. I just wanted to throw that out there before edmo does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We rode there for a number of years....on the weekends it felt like you were in a race all weekend, pass or be passed...trails all shelled out. And every swinging dick with a 10" riser in NY, all crammed into one riding area. They do get crazy amounts of snow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll drive to the Western UP 9+ hours before I'll ride in Cadillac or Gaylord on a weekend. Complete cluster fuck. Seems it was you who brought up how busy it was on the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some cool pics on my old computer before the hard drive crashed, just the tops of street signs sticking out of the snow, like a tee box marker on the golf course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday was a sleep in day so it was a late start at 11:30, but who gives a fuck when when it's snowing all day, the trails are mint and you really don't have anywhere to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
