Zambroski Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Hey @teamgreen02 you remember this run? …and delicious burgers? Just stumbled on this. I’ve ridden with this guy once years ago…or at least a sled just like his…IDENTICAL. He was slow. It’s a fun run though. Sketchy sometimes…eeesh. Skip to 1:20 for the start of the peqwayann trail to the NSST then south. A good run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife who's ridden a sled once runs at a brisker pace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see in the pics but, it’s usually hammered up and there is little room for correcting if you get boggled up. Good place to see plastic tree “ornaments” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFM Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Wide open trail compared to here, till you get further north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip to 1:20 for the start of the peqwayann trail to the NSST then south. A good run. Was just telling D that we need to make a run past the Pequaywan this year. They have been putting a lot of money into fixing up the place. Don't think I even made it there last year with the low snow conditions around Duluth. Spent my time further up the Shore mostly. This guy has much better conditions than we did. We were on powder with no base. Made for an interesting day of trying to keep it out of the trees. That first ride of the year is always a little sketchy. Wondering if you put everything back together correctly and if your legs and arms will be jello by lunch.

IMO, a good trail should allow for speeds 30-60 up and down the whole way. Anything allowing faster is a Highway. A slower trail is exploratory. I’ll pass on both of those.

Yeah, he got out after our little storm, he can’t resist! Sounds like a tough ride with nothing but blowing powder and no base. Says he got like 15 miles in before calling it. The new owner was on local news and sounds like he’s got big plans. How about not gouging sledders for gas? Try that first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember his sled looking sweet and I was like, ok…he’s a baller! Then he started showing off his wheelie prowess so, I kinda figured we’d be waiting a bit for him. It’s ok though….still fun.

Looking back at most of my trail rides a lot of it was ski tip to snow flap just being reckless as hell having fun. But the times you actually slow down and enjoy the scenery were just as nice. We have the Jordan Valley trail here where I love to throttle back and soak it all in Jordan Valley this morning...not me unfortunately https://www.facebook.com/1557783447/videos/423520616142086 Edited December 8, 2021 by Skidooski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with people you ride with and what pace. Edited December 8, 2021 by CFM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have 91 then most people will stop for food or drinks anyways. It's not that far from Duluth or Two Harbors so can't price gouge too bad.

MnDean Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) I don't think the Pequwayann has changed much in the past 50 years. For me walking in was like going back in time, yep the same, maybe the length of the bar was extended, fire place insert, but it seemed to remain timeless.

That takes some doing but I've seen it done. My fav is offtrailing and then rolling the sled onto the throttle, and then falling on track that is now spinning hard. Our buddy Dmann got spit off with prejudice one time doing that. And of course I've never had my own share of shenanigans over the years.

Some of the shit we’ve done out there just boggles the mind. My best “trick” was turning the sled over on top of me in the middle of the trail. I went from…”Man, I may just be able to pull this off and LOOK JUST COOL AS FUCK!!” to “%#**!!!! This is gonna end poorly!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the newscast, I found out it was over 100 years old! Damn…that’s a horse and buggy on dirt roads operation up there. It’s obviously been built onto but, I thought that was cool.
