    Having a blast in BC

  • Picked up my buddy at 6am and drove 4.5 hrs to ride with a couple old friends. Rode 180 kms. Drove 4.5 hrs home. Still worth it.  

  • Awesome weekend in Pittsburg NH. Was definitely not expecting it to be that good. Special thanks to the guy who threw me the twirling finger gesture on trail 145 🚨, saved me a stop from the po po.

700 kms for the season. Rode  my old Cat 300 kms today with the wife, my buddy on his yellow Doo, and I lent my Mach Z to an old friend. He’s 79 and sold his sled 3 years ago. 
 

Last 3 hours were in the rain. Trails we rode today are all closed now. Our trails are likely done here for the season unless the weather makes a big turn around.

Riding is pretty much done across the entire Midwest. The warmth over the next two weeks will melt most everything. Will take a miracle in mid to late February to get things in riding condition again.

Unfortunately this is most likely the case.

Still good in northern Maine.  Couple feet in most areas.  Sucks for you guys in the midwest.  Not sure whats going on for conditions in the UP.

They’ve stopped grooming in the UP as well. We’ve made reservations there for mid Feb but may have to cancel and turn guys weekend into an ice fishing only weekend. :cry:

We're supposed to be in the U.P. right now, heading from Copper Harbor to White Pine.  Instead, we're taking tomorrow off and doing a local SxS ride.  All I can do is laugh at the absurdity.

It wasn't good.  The exact text message was:
"100% the right decision to not do our trip.  We only made it to Houghton from Twin Lakes.  As you get to South Range the whoops really pick up and turn to 2-footers all the way.  You can only ride about 20-25 mph and people were saying the whoops continue all the way up to Copper."

That was from my nephew and his buddy, who came home the next day.  The other crew that was up there, left the same day & cut their trip short by 3 days.

Rode island pond yesterday.  Snow blasters country was real sweet. Every thing else kinda sucked

Nicole said that there were a ton of sleds around when she was in town last Saturday. That coupled with temps in the mid 30s probably didn't do much for the trails :(

I see up by our riding area in NW Wisconsin, they pulled stakes on several of the lakes including the biggest part of the trail system on the Chippewa Flowage.  I guess our buddy in Alaska can gloat about it, as the business owners suffer through this winter's WEATHER CYCLE.

We did a 90 mile RZR ride yesterday and although it wasn't as fun as a snowmobile trip, it was still a good time :bc:

I rode northern NH yesterday. Plenty of snow. Especially above the 45th
