Sorry guys I'm out cancelled the room. Going to play in the backwoods of my old stomping ground in the 2-3' of fresh snow, I cant EVER remember having that much snow there. I know all the off trail places and this is going to be a fun weekend.

Have fun in MI everyone!

3 days till takeoff!!!! Really getting pumped now!!! Has anyone heard any reports from anyone that has/is riding up there now!?!?

No reports yet??? haven't heard how much snow they ended up with the last 2 days....

 

[buddah]

Based upon what we got here (165 or so mi. east) I would say LOTS!!!!

We've had probably 2 1/2 feet in the last week.......all fluff and settled quite a bit but it's really getting good about.............now

 

[4strokelover87]

sound great, Buddah!!! The way it has looked the past week, you guys are definetly getting more over around Muni than the kewanee is getting...guess if we get there and they aren't the greatest, we'll head east!!!

Hey all-


I figured its time i pipe up now...

I live in Houghton, so i can give a few updates.


The mats should be down tomorrow, (15th) as that is when shipping season closes, so the bridge will stay down for good.


Last Saturday I rode from Houghton to Twin Lakes, the trails were in ok shape, but it was a little rocky near town. This past week we got quite a bit of snow, but no where as near as much as places farther east.

The snow north of the bridge is getting better, I rode up to Calumet on the 6th, and the only bad spots were where part of the trail had been plowed back.

Thanks for the update!!! Hopefully with some colder temps and more time they'll improve some before the weekend!!! maybe a little more snow later in the week too...??? keep our fingers crossed!!!

Am heading out in an hour or so for Houghton!

Sooooooooooo can't wait!

I even have a Virgin to ride!!!
(Has been a looong time waiting for this one also...)
lol
She won't be a Virgin after THIS weekend!
Laffin...

Stayed up all night making sure I had enough stuff built so I could leave!
Was easier than trying to get by on a couple hours sleep.
I get to snore & drool in the back of the truck on the way up, other guys are driving, tg!

Will have all kinds of stuff with me, if you need anything, look me up!
