Ive been out riding mostly at night off trail..
Some trail..

Trails are rideable. Alot of rocks though..

Few Ski-Doos on the trails.. They were the MSA board members...

Went on a vintage ride. I have a few vintage sleds but didnt have time to get them going so I took the Nytro.

Stuck??

I have a video loading on youtube of the ride it will be up soon and I will post a link.
Loud pipe contest, Flyover and most sleds leaving the starting area..

154 miles

Started the weekend out in Ishpeming testing demo sleds.

New Tuner skis are a huge improvement.

Then went up to Houghton to ride for the weekend.

Under the bridge..

Took the trail from Houghton to Greenland taking the longer loop. Stopped here and noticed I had a broken limiter strap on the Nytro.

Luckily Pats Yamaha was just a few miles down the road..

Then crossed the Firesteel river bridges on our way back to Houghton.

From there we went to the Redridge Dam.

More info on the Dam.

The next morning we went for a quick ride to Lake Linden before we left..

Trails were great. A little ruff during mid day but not bad. Sunday Morning they were perfect....

Out riding today... Stopped home to grab the GoPro...Several Feet of snow..

Not stuck, but came to point where the snow was so deep I wanted to plan exactly where I was going to go... Alot of trees...

Several feet of snow in the UP.. Last year had it for a week and looking the same this year...

Doesnt do it justice...

80 miles

Went back to a spot where there was some deep snow...

Climbed one of the biggest hills in the area.. When I parked on the top I could hear someone yelling HELP..

Found this Arctic Cat stuck in the snow.. There is a chain of lakes the wind blowes the snow off of them into a few miles of valleys. He under estimated the snow depth.

Yamahas to the rescue.. An F1000 buried in snow doesnt feel ant lighter than the Nytro...

The Yamahas both got stuck..

Broke another limiter strap.. Lasted less than 100 miles.. Any ideas why? I dont see anything bent...

Also took the trails for a few miles...Guessing they gave up on grooming them for the year.. Worst year for grooming that I have ever seen... Munising area mainly...

Took a short video nothing spectaular just me driving through the woods finding some snow then kind of getting stuck..
