I was changing a chain-case out in the parking lot of dans polaris in houghton once, the groomer idled in the parking lot the 3.5 hours we were there. Anyone want to bet they getting paid for grooming while it sat? Is the money spent on the freeloading bike trail , also allow snowmobiles upon the trail ? Do you know of the specific location of this trail in MI ? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In MN they have paved bike trails that they groom......they close small segments of them to sleds though so they can post a fish cop on the corner of the small closed sections and hand out tickets for being on them. They did that on purpose and it generates a shit ton of revenue. Our government is our enemy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It snowed to beat the band and I saw one groomer doing a small segment of the Tac and one of the spur trails. Talked to my buddy tonight who has done another 500 miles this week and he said the trails are horrifying. The tac , laurentian , arrowhead and all the spurs connected have not been groomed all week and he said its mogul hell and all the snow has been blown off in every corner. As far as he could tell nothing is being groomed all week. That is fucking pathetic dnr only grooms its state trails in the state land and not many of those . the local clubs do the grooming the local clubs turn in there hrs for reimbursements. not ez to find guys to go out and spend there free time to drive 7mph for 8hrs at a shot for jack shit . MN gives a tinny percent f the gas tax based on the number of sled registrations to the clubs . and remember that cash has to pay for tucker payments fuel and parts and saws and mowers and disks and printing land owner appreciation gifts not much left to pay a guy to drive 90% volunteer . then worse you smooth it out and have not even finished a 7 hr shift and guys are calling to bitch that what you did 6 hrs ago was never groomed and there is still 125 mi of shit to hit at 7mph before you start again . want the best grooming in the country? black hills federal money no one can piss t away like the feds. they run like 5 matching tuckers mon to thurs and like 8 on the weekends for way less than 400mi of trail . you get shocked if you are not on fresh ribbon . and all this cost you nothing as long as you have registration on your sled from your home state . and yes the state deff is steeling trail cash for other projects . that is why you need to be a member of MNUSA at min because we have a full time lobby guy in st paul for 1 thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gone between MI and WI and have stuck with WI the last several times because its so easy online. Fuck MinnesOta and those cyclist faggots. They dont pay registration fees, snowmobilers built those trails for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issue paying the money ....I take issue with then not grooming when we have snow. I understand when we have long winters and they run out of money for grooming which has happened. Years like this though when they do no grooming all year and then we get snow and nothing happens pisses me off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
