  1. I didn't buy anything new, but I did pick up a '17 Sportsman 570 a cpl weeks ago. I found a few guys that had '25 pricing, but most still think that it's '22. Or at least they are hoping to find a buyer who thinks that it's still '23...
  2. I read that last post in a way that I was expecting a pic, that seemed to not load. I guess no pic intended....
  3. Polar bear in a snowstorm? I've seen that pic before. Heck, I recall watching that show on TV!
  4. Board back from the dead. 5 years off! Better dust it off a bit before others stop by eh? .
  5. In the current SnowTech magazine, they are spotlighting the fancy new steering on the Summits, and the fact that it can turn 30% tighter. My question is - who cares aboot this on a Summit? .
  6. OK, but considering that most everyone got on near zero klicks last year .... .
  7. So warm that you was stripped down to your jamies again I see. I had 84* on the overhead in the truck in E Colorado, W Kansas 2 days ago, with sleds on the deck. All while the weather map was showing big snows in UP/Soo areas. But a few days prior (Wed night) we had to take the 2 lanes to git to Colorado, as both 70 and 80 were both closed for bizzard conditions. Apparently 18" and 60mph winds in Nebraska. I don't think we ever saw any active snow at all down on 36, but at least 4 overturned big trucks blown onto their sides. MAN - tha'd be a ride eh? March weather, wha'cha gunna doo? .

    LOTS'a slush on the lakes! Watchin' out the back door at times looks more like prop-worsh than anything... I wouldn't want to head out on a lake with a 250 Enticer! .

    Looks like maybe just put it off 1 week and should be dooable. .
  10. Snow was great near Wawa last weekend! .

    I take it that they will be singing a swan song? .

    FWIW - Wawa is calling for 12-18 today and Wednesday. And they are to be keeping their head below freezing as well. Doesn't look as good for The Soo, but they are to be back in the freezer as well come Wed night. .
  13. More concerned about further inland. I understand that The Soo has plenty. The lake effect didn't come in from the west, but rather the NW, and it appears that north of The Montreal was thin up to now. So, carry that SW and that would be Aubrey. ???
  14. Any word of conditions near Aubrey Falls? .
  15. Yeah, I seen that Marathon, and even Wawa to a degree were cautioning that the trails can have large drifts and whatnot, and it might be a good idea to let the groomer through first. I just can't help but to ROTFLMAO considering a fella on a snowmachine setting in a motel room b/c it snowed. I'm hoping that they got some a little further south. It looks like we will be in the Wawa area Friday. Hoping that we can stay off the landmines. .

    So you have 4" of frost in the ground before it snows. Then you git 4' of snow. Before long, the frost starts to push up out of the ground as it is insulated from the cold. The more snow that you git, the less that it matters if it was froze prior or not, and the more likely that it is to have thawed over time anyhow. .
  17. Doesn't appear to be much for off-trail use ? .

    Purty sure I got mine within 2 weeks of the date I purchased. This will likely be [at least] 2 yrs in a row of buying 2 permits and not riding there at all. My boy slipped a disk (?) and is going through a treatment series, and is looking much better! Not sure I ever seen anyone walk crooked like that before! I hurt just watching him! It would be irrisponsible for him to go ride this winter now. And a fella that I want to bring up there badly - tells me that he can't cross the border. So, as of right now - it looks like I will be heading west 2wice this year, and none north. Not that The Shield has rideable snow so far anyhow... .
  19. Ha! I think that Pat may be a Facebook friend, but I don't follow facebook, so .... .

    Yeah, the last few years it seems have all been to where you just get a pack-ice layer down, and then it thaws, and you have to start all over aggin.
