MNUser Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I put both my sleds away already. Fresh gas and stable and back in storage. Sad winter. There will basically be no riding this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxMN Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'm hoping to get the girls out on the lake over Xmas. There was a couple inches of snow when I left Sunday, hopefully some comes tonight amidst the rain... But even if it won't be good, at least the youngest who just passed her safety course hopefully can drive around on the lake a bit. But I agree we still have lots of winter left for a few good storms - just hope they come quick and often when they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnvikes32 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 MNUser - Talk about throwing in the towel? It's December for crying out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRULEDRIFTER Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 First day of official winter was December 21, 2 days ago and he's already picked up the ball and heading home... Can't make it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRULEDRIFTER Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Gunflint Trail area has got quite a bit of snow from what I understand. A few fresh inches the last day or so on top of the 11 inches they got last week. I'd say the trails should be okay up there. At least the lakes anyway.

Macgyver55 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Pretty dismal with only a small area with marginal depth. Only 2 spots (dk blue) with 12 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech~~ Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Pretty dismal with only a small area with marginal depth. Only 2 spots (dk blue) with 12 inches And that has got to be like sledding in wet cement I would think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleyehooker Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Looks like Ill get my 200 miles on the first week in march on Lake of the woods again this year. Well I guess that is next year. Gave up looking for a new snowmobile and bought a couple more motorcycles I have to pick up on Saturday. One is a older 250 Yamaha YZ and a HD. Come on spring.

Walleyehooker Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Have some fun. No problem Ive had a few of them and a couple even bigger ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech~~ Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 Have some fun. No problem Ive had a few of them and a couple even bigger ones. Just pullen your chain. I have a DR650 Dual sport so like to get out in the woods with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleyehooker Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I know you are. Actually didn't really want the YZ but it was a package deal. Its hard to find a place you can even ride them these days. Something street legal like you have would be more practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxMN Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Finally put on one mile.... Not even. From garage through woods to lake to ice and back to dock. Lake is all ice, the kids had fun skating. Sled only used to transport to shack and back. Tomorrow maybe longer haul, but nice and slow. Really wish I had studs now. Maybe I will get the old one with studs out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum ride at Cooke It's pretty sad around here for sure but for some strange reason, I've been ok with it........ what does that mean ? Becareful, things are kind of sketchy out in cooke right now.

leech~~ Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Well if you read this thread from last year at around the same time it looks like we were in the same spot with no snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
