Same in Maine.  But its snowing, will make a killer base with a few inches of fluff on top.

Presque isle got rain Thursday night.  Then _7 Friday am . Snow today 

From FB….this is the shit that makes me want to ride offtrail…

 

This was the third close call today and this was too close. You people need to slow down in corners. This happened today in Newberry, I was as tight as I could be and someone smoked me head on at 45. “Ride right” they say. I was all the way right. You guys need to slow down. Please.

 

Well my absolute worst nightmare came true, and I’m lucky I’m typing this. I worry about my dad everytime he goes riding because of this, I will always lead my group because of this reason. I got hit head on on my side of the trail by someone on a rental sled FLYING around 40-50 mph easy. My sled is mangled. My back is re- injured and possible broke thumb, in very sore. I think I’m gonna get into boating and stick to the mountains on the sled.
 

Near Marquette…holy crap!🤣👍🏼❄️

From FB

Not surprised at all. Bad part is I see people who, “have been riding for years” do the same shit. It’s one of the biggest reasons why I don’t trail ride nearly as much as I use to. If the off trail was good all of the time in Michigan, or I could afford to go out west a bunch, I wouldn’t even trail ride anymore.

If I ever have an accident with someone this is how it would look for me as well.  

Had my closest call of the season last weekend when I came tight around a corner (As I always do) and someone was cutting it short on their LEFT side if the trail.  My son who didn't see how close it was, said the guy was slowed down and nearly stopped by the time he went by him with that "I just shit my bibs" look on his face.... STAY RIGHT PEOPLE!!!  In ALL corners - even if that means you have to slow the fuck down!

Northern MN is excellent.

Sure is!

Ate there last night….

Sled vs. Minivan...M-28 and 123 near Newberry MI. It’s bad in the UP lately...only good snow in Michigan and ALOT of sleds.

 

Beauty of a day on the snowmachines

Had a great day running the trails of northern NH. 

Not really any grooming going on but I drove 15 minutes and dropped at The East Jordan Clubhouse….got almost 100 miles in and yeah it was a tad bit rough but I had the trails to myself…good times! 👍🏼❄️🇺🇸

the little dealerships back then were cool, gas stations and hardware stores selling sleds as a sideline.    just about all of them have disappeared or had to grow up since then.   I parked a few weeks back at what was Petes Garage which was a cat dealer for decades but prob been 15 years since they closed now.

A trio of us washed up degens were out bringing down the value of the trails in central MN this weekend.  Blowing off corners, hammering down the straights, passing the mountain sleds on trails, etc.
