Riding in Upper ,MI

[12pointer]

Is anyone riding this weekend in Upper Michigan? Thinking about heading up on Sunday to ride in the Paradise to Munising area. Any reports from people there and riding.

From what I've read that's the best and only real rideable area. I think it's best near munisiing vs. paradise. Spring like, wet spots with snirt areas.

As I'm sure you know you can get trail reports from fishweb.com

I just got in from a little play time with a friend.......we're 20 mi. south of Munising.........I wouldn't go any further south......it gets really thin.......but I kept an eye on my buddy's sled and he was throwing up enough snow so as to not burn or melt anything......it'd hard but rideable.......the further north you go from here, the better it gets........can't comment on 4 corners and such.......haven't been out that way yet.............

I was just in st germain wisconsin and rode the sleds up to lake gogebic and I thought the trails were fine... theres a couple wet spots... nothing that you can't just go around. but ya thought the trails were pretty decent and their supposed to get 1-3 inches tommorrow

Heard they got 4 inches of snow overnight and we're calling for 5 more today. How are the present conditions from those already up in that area?

I have a group up at my spot now and they said it is good there are a few rough spots newr Ironwood and Hurley but south around Gile it is good and north towards Gogebic its good. The snow got heavy with the temps but the groomers have worked most of it back to normal. I know there was 4" over Christmas and another couple have fell since. The Twin lakes area is where they are heading in the morning and it looks like they are back over 2' there on JohnDees.

I am heading there tomorrow. I will try to post after I get there later in the day.

I'm 20 mi. south of Munising..........Snow is now decent........we got 5 or so inches of heavy, system snow today really helped the situation........some friends and I went to The Buckhorn this afternoon.....they seem to have more snow the further north you go.........

16e out of crystal falls near River is nasty. What a adventure. Felt like a Yellowknife excursion! But you got to take the good with the bad. Glad the MI patrol looks the other way. Probably 5 mi or so on M29! Need to thank 4st solutions for rollover valve on both Viper and Phazer. We definitely used them both.
Vast majority was epic though!
Awesome!

Ugly

Rollover site of both Phazer and Viper. Viper on right into the pickets and Phazer on left with back still in water. Worst case scenario.

This is hole that was about 3ft deep. My whole right spindle was under and plowing mud! Could not figure out a way around this one.

But with views like this.........Mud washes off.
