LoonASea  did u make it out on the trails?

[LoonASea]

Got out early this AM and put on a quick 110 miles doing the Pequam/Brimson/Yukon loop,,,, The trails were a 9.5 out of 10 for conditions ,,,, Must be getting some lake effect snow up by Two Harbors and along the shore as it was snowing like crazy and I was putting the first set of tracks on the first 70 miles ,,, Seen 2 other sleds out on the trail,,,, things sure are peaceful during the week,,, I think I could get used to these 6 day weekends  

[Walleyehooker]

My neighbor was up there last weekend and said it was busy and trails were getting bumpy by the end of the day. Ill have to see if I can get up there during the week. I'm still waiting for my new trailer to get in but supposed to be here this week.

May be better up over the hill off the NSST on some of the smaller trails?

[LoonASea]

The NSST was just as flat as some of the other trails I rode today ,, Dont think they groomed sunday but week days are the way to go in my humble opinion

Anyone know how much snow the Lutsen/Isabella area got from this last system?

[BoxMN]

Hoping to finally get out this Saturday morning in the Emily area. First time I have not had a cabin full of ice fishing guests

 

I know there was a bit of snow Monday, and cold temps until tomorrow so hopefully it will hold and the groomers are able to get out tonight.

Been sick all week but If I'm doing better I will be on the ice fishing or Sledding some where this weekend!

NFL posted on his web page that they got 10" of snow in the last 7days. (Isabella)

Finally picked up my new trailer today Going to head up to my place up north next Friday and head up to the north shore on Saturday and ride for the day. Might also be interested in a ride the couple weekends after that. Have to get some riding in as spring has been showing up quick lately.

Funny part. I used two this week. Actually sick, I hate to use them that way.

[Walleyehooker]

Definitly like to make it up during the week but if I drove up by myself I would have to get a motel room for a night and try to ride for 2 days to make it worth the drive.

got out in aitkin county Friday, trails were nice, and plenty of snow. rode from palisade to hill city to Jacobsen to big sandy, then back to palisade, put on 110 miles. trails were all groomed good, plenty of snow, as much as 18 inches. the warm weather made the trails a little soft, but it still was a good ride.

Trailer pictures!

Just your basic Cargo trailer. Added a couple upgrades Aluminum rims and radial tires ,

Spare tire and mount and some E Track for tie downs. Put some old plywood I had on the floor so the snowmobile carbides wont tear up the new floor.

[leech~~]

Sweet, you mite think about the ski tracks some time for the carbid wear. How many sleds can you get in there?

[Walleyehooker]

Its 7 X 16 plus the V front. I'm sure it will haul 2 sleds but I think 1st sled will go on forward and 2nd will have to be backed in. Just going to have to try it and figure out works best. Basically wanted a dual purpose trailer to haul sleds and 2-3 motorcycles in the summer. Most of the time I will probably only be hauling 1 sled but wanted room for 2 and gear. If I was only going to use it to haul sleds I might have went with something different. I hope I made the right decision. Sure does pull nice with the tandem axels and very little tongue weight.

[Walleyehooker]

I still need to pick up a couple motorcycle wheel chocks. And I have more E Track to run down the middle and some extra I might put on the wall.

One of my buddies pick up almost the same trailer it looks like. He set it up to haul a few Harley's to Sturgis every year and he also added some goodies as they use it as a camper when they get there. Like AC and fold down bunks.

[Walleyehooker]

I am also thinking about a run out to Sturgis this year. If I do I am looking at buying a screen kit that goes on the back opening and might just use some cots to sleep on. A/C would be nice but just might have to rough it and hope it isn't not to hot. One of the reasons I went with a lighter color than black and just didn't like the look of a white trailer.

Yeah, he picked up a black one. It's always fun to see what little things you can add into them. Have fun!
