The county I reside in has 790 miles of trails. Minnesota has 22,000 while Michigan has 6,500. Alaska has 350 miles of trails. https://www.blackwidowpro.com/blog/snowmobile/how-many-snowmobile-trails-each-state/b/bwsm6/#:~:text=Wisconsin offers snowmobilers more than,trails stretching across the state. WhoopdeeDoo! And from what I gather, the trails aren't even connected. A few miles of trail here and there in the middle of nowhere connected to nothing and you better bring a gas trailer. That sounds so exciting. I can ride out my door and connect to any trail in the Midwest. I think Alaskduh is just jealous.

I bet he even has tall bar risers, possibly a helmet mohawk as well which is likely why he's skeered to post a picture of it. I have zero complaints about the trails on private property I'm able to utilize all season long... blessed to an extent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I and others here actually follow the race and you'd know that if you weren't being so obtuse most of the time. true, I'm not a deep snow rider but don't think for a moment us pig farmers here in the midwest don't get or haven't been in deep snow. bib 69, that's just a lie... https://www.irondog.org/race/track Edited December 14, 2022 by Crnr2Crnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the Iron Dog isn’t some groomed super highway, people make their own trails by riding where ever they want and other people follow and the snow gets packed down and makes the trail. They get rough, the trails the same as what they ride in Sweden and Norway. You riding out your door on groomed super highways, stuck on a corridor surrounded by private property sounds epic bro. Getting busted for riding off your little ribbon of groomed to tear up a corn field has got to be awesome! Post up some videos of this amazing place.

You're incorrectly assuming that if there are groomed trails, that you can't have public land backcountry to ride. That you can have one or the other but not both. You're mistaken. Guess you're the guy that watches a couple YouTube videos on something and now you're an authority. Heck I own two snowmobiles that never even see a trail. I also border a large state forest. Heck pretty much all of ne MN is public property and you can go all over it and there are the little snowmobile paths you mentioned for locals to navigate around on. So, we have everything that you have, but then also have fantastic groomed trails. You're just mad. I get it, I probably would be too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
