WAITING FOR THAT WHITE STUFF STILL!    Oh, sorry for shouting.

[PurpleFloyd]

Mine is sitting on bare ground. I think I got about 15 miles on it.

[LoonASea]

Now that Im back to semi retirement status I will be doing some week day trips,,,, Right now the NSST from Tofte north the trails are in really good condition with plenty of snow ,,, Snow in the forecast and milder temps  

[Walleyehooker]

[Walleyehooker]

The following weekend I'm headed to California for a couple weeks for my annual winter break and wont be back tell February. So next weekend might be my only chance to ride for a while.

I still remember pulling your sled out of the brush back onto the trail last year. So I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Looks like the North shore is getting another blanket of snow. Should be pretty good after tomorrow and they get it groomed .

[LoonASea]

got out and rode the Reservoir riders trail to the NSST ,,,got about 80 miles on ,,,,first set of tracks on most of the freshly groomed trail with 3 inches of fluffy snow ,,,Im going again tomorrow if we get the forecasted snow 

[LoonASea]

Got out and put about 100 miles on today ,,,, Passed the groomer about 3 miles into the ride and had smooth sailing from then on ,,,got about 5 more inches  today but the wind hasn't picked up yet ,,, another great day of trail riding ,,, gonna get cold for a few days so I will let the sled rest ,,, Almost burned a tank of gas,,,dang I love 4 strokes

[Walleyehooker]

I put a couple miles on the 4 wheeler plowing the driveway. Looks like mid 30s up there next week will make for some nice riding.

[leech~~]

Will you two stop making me feel bad about going ice fishing this weekend instead.

[LoonASea]

Didnt get out on the trails over the weekend but got out today and got some good miles on ,,,, Trails were better last week but not too bad considering the amount of sleds on the trails over the weekend ,,, warmer temps coming but that wont take down the trail snow too much with hi's only hitting the mid to hi 30's

[Walleyehooker]

I started mine up in the garage today and let it warm up and charge the battery. Hopefully there will be snow when I get back from vacation in a few weeks and I can get up there for a ride.

I put a few miles on this weekend as well. Out on the lake and back a few times. But, I was about a mile out!

Well Walleyehooker, you may be in luck, because after 5 days of this warm weather it may take a week or two of cold and snow to just get back to point zero on the trails anyway! So you maybe back by then.

Its definitely not looking good around here. But I will be riding somewhere when I get back. Just not sure where or how far I will have to drive but I will be riding somewhere. Hopefully the north shore base holds up and they get some more snow. If not it might be a snowmobile / fishing trip up to LOW.

[LoonASea]

Im gonna get back on the NSST today to see how its holding up ,,,, I will have to dress appropriately with the milder temps ,,, Hope to have a good report when I get back  

[Walleyehooker]

Well how was the ride? I got my enclosed trailer ordered up today and will be here when I get back.

How many sleds can "we" get in that new trailer?

[Walleyehooker]

I think it will only fit 2 of the longer track sleds. It a 7 X16 with a V front. But it only needs to fit mine anyway. I went with a cargo trailer with a rear ramp as I have reverse now so no need for a drive threw and its a lot less expensive.
