TY Ride Info 2012 -2013!!

[MrSled]

I had just called to book the giveaway ride for 3 for sure and possibly 4. We really look forward to seeing new sled country and riding the countrys premier trails. Thanks totallyamaha for putting together these awesome events. What an awesome birthday present for me. We plan on being there early friday morning. Does anyone know when the departure time is for the rides?

We try and get going in the AM between 9 and 10 am, but we will have something posted on a white board the night before.

It sounds like so far there are 51 rooms of ty'rs. Are we all going to be able to go out in one group?

Anyone still going to Houghton? Cancellation date is today. The forecast looks promising, just wondering what anyone else's thoughts are.

I have the same thoughts you do, I'm still on the fence. Its a tough call for me to make this far in advance, but its 570 miles I have to drag the trailer, one way. Looking at snow maps, they are starting from scratch again.

I just got off the phone, talking to Chad, Sales Manager at MM Powersports, right in the hotel parking lot. He said as of right now, they have NO snow.

I pulled the chute yesterday.......sucks but the way I look at is I will do a extra late season ride

They warm up and rain killed the snow they had. The lady at the Ramada said they had a foot+ before the warm up.

We are committing. It looks like if the snow hits, there will be a ton ... but it's gonna come right down to the wire. If we cancel at the last minute due to low snow, we'll pay the cancellation fee. It's a risk we are willing to take.

Here's the latest from John Dee:

"In any case, it looks like snows will start to break out across the eastern 2/3rds of the Dakotas, eastern NE, far NW IA and most of MN later Saturday into Saturday night. Most accumulations by Sunday morning will be in the 1-3" range.
The storm will then become better organized and the way things look right now, an area of moderate snows will fall across much of MN, northeast IA, the NW 3/4ths of WI, all of the UP and extreme NW lower MI. Accumulations in those areas look to be in the 2-6" range in most cases. An area of moderate to heavy snows is also indicated to be imbedded in the area of moderate snows and that band of heavier snow currently looks to bring the potential for 6-12" of snow to northeast MN, extreme northwest WI and the western 1/2 of the UP."

"A period of moderate to heavy lake snows will likely follow the Sunday storm and accumulations of 4-8", isolated to 10"+ are possible in the UP, with 1-4" totals in NWL MI for Monday. Tuesday sees the LES to quiet down a bit, but still continue to fall, with most accumulations in the 1-3" range. Most other areas of the Midwest will be quiet (snow-wise) for Monday and Tuesday. By later Wednesday into Thursday, a clipper type system is indicated to work from the northern Plains into the northern Midwest and currently looks to bring a general 1-4" of system snow to most of the Northwoods and will also likely ramp up the LES guns in the UP, where lake enhancement and pure LES could easily double the 1-4" seen elsewhere in the Northwoods. The LES will likely continue into Friday, with the rest of the region quiet and then by Saturday, ideas become a bit mixed. The idea I am leaning more towards calls for another low to develop in the southwest Plains and swing NE into the Midwest. This system would bringing the potential for some moderate to perhaps heavy snows (4-10") to northeast IA, SE MN, all but the far NW and SE corners of WI, the eastern 2/3rds of the UP and northern 1/3rd of lower MI. The other idea for weekend of the 15th-16th is for the bulk of the heavier precip to fall as rain and fall mainly to the south of the Midwest, with a general 1-3" of snow falling across the northern 1/2 of the region."
