team scooter Posted December 18, 2015 Share #4 Posted December 18, 2015 The snowmobile web sites have lit up because they're calling for just enough snow to ride in the UP. Thousands of my close personal friends packed into one small area, bumping into each other. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many people from Chigaco, Milw, etc coming up here for a weekend of riding all out along with drinking all out... and bragging how they pushed that Yamaha off the trail. Really? So we just stuck to the less traveled trails. Now we're too old and beat up to go sleddin'. dammers. Saw on the news this morning that area was supposed to be hit hard with snow... and not us. Sorry.

Used to be you could go up midweek or ride the forest roads to avoid the crowds. But the internet (information at your fingers without needing to do your own homework ) ruined that too.
