Looks like from the pictures Jim posted back in business for some riding. Sad news for me gone all week including weekend on a trip for work. Maybe early next week, Monday, or Tuesday could get up and ride. Nice to ride during the week anyway.

Trails are very rideable just came back from the great northwoods!!!!!

But they are EXTREMELY ICY!!!!!!! Watch out for those riding without carbides and studs they will be comein at you in every corner:eek: So few riders on Sat. some LMT trails did not even have a track on them by 3.30 in the aft. others only a track or two.:thumbup:

I wonder whats going on this year with the lack of traffic? Was up in Iron County the weekend of Jan. 5th and there was very little traffic too. Went through Hurley and it was pretty much dead compared to what it is normally like. I thought it might be cause it was right after the Holidays, but who knows?? Maybe it has something to do with the gas prices this year? I know I went through alot of gas between the truck and sleds the weekend I went up. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I've been wanting to come up for a long time to hit some great trails;) Problem is not much work in past few weeks:sick: . I have a lot of time on my hands but not much money to do so, main expense is usually gas:mad: . I'm waiting to save a few bucks ; conditions must be very good; and lack of snow in our area will be the determining factor:thumbup: .I also told the wife if it's good enough to sled down here I won't go up north:lol: ( I know, slap me ) . I've got to soften her up for the near future:redgrin: . This will cost me MORE to appease the little woman:rolleyes: . Hoping there should be at least 2 moths of sledding left up north:sledder: . Some of my best rides were in March:cheers: One would think the snow can only get better:taz:

I think gas prices are playing a big role. Also I work at a dealership and we are seeing alot of personal watercraft and atv sales.. Loads of sleds being traded in.. The snow conditions over the past few yrs has caused alot of riders to get out of the sport.
