Hey guys and gals, is there any snow to ride on around the north shore area or ely, grandrapids area. Really need to ride bad, where can i find snow????

Not sure where you live but Brainerd area is marginal to good depending what direction you go. If you started in Merrifield and went north and east I think the trails will be better. Rode last night right after the groomer and it was awesome but by Saturday they'll be trashed because the base is very skinny.

I would suggest Grand Rapids then ride NE.

was in palisade today, put on my first miles of the year, only 22, but its a start. snow depth maybe 6 inches at most, and lots of hard snow in the ditches. the soo line was groomed smooth, a few loose rocks here and there. we need another 6 inches, and it will be good to go.

We have about 5-6 inches of snow in the Grand Rapids area, some clubs are packing, those trails have a lot of grass showing. Still need 6-8 inches to have groomable snow. With the freezing rain and wet snow the other weekend, lots of trails need to be recleared again, lots of trees and brush in the trail.

Rode 85 miles in Mcleod County yesterday. The trails aren't too bad, but more snow will help. There are a few dirt clumps sticking up in some of the trails, but overall not bad. The local club has a soil conditioner that is used to flatten out the dirt after the farmers finish their work in the fall. This makes for a nice smooth surface to start to build the trails on.

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
