I am going to keep this short. I got to go riding! Temps are holding around 28. Groomed 290 fleet miles this week. Trails are in good early season shape. Swamps are getting good. Nancy Lake State Park is open. Rivers are marked and some grooming and people are hauling loads. Please respect Private Property!!!!! If you need any info just post a ? Remember, We take the bumps so you don't have too!!!

This is a very good beginner place. The Willow Swamp is a 8 mile trail that is well marked all the way around so if you try the powder in the center you can always find your way back to the main Kisok! I appreciate the help. I did pick up a map from Eagle River...

Hard wiring is the best thing, but just remember that your engine is producing AC voltage (unless it has a 12v battery). You must install a rectifier to convert it to DC before you can wire up a GPS. The stick-on thumb warmer on the back of the mounting bracket is all you need to keep a Garmin running is very sub-zero temps. You'll generally want to wire the thumb warmer up in a straight low-heat setting or put it on a hi-lo switch.

not a skidoo fan but my buddys tundra 550 is a pretty nice sled for what your talking about. It does fine in powder and cruises along nicely and good for pulling a sled.

Don't worry too much about him, his personality is way out of touch. When in doubt, ignore.

the high winds will blow that snow clean off the flats. just be drifts around.

That's a great Idea Greythorne! Build your metal windshield and take a rider through hatchers as fast as you can! Go do it now.

Two XP renegades AND an XTX? I officially hate you now Right on. 6 or 8's on the XP's? Are you runnin the QD on the sway bar?

I'll second what Trail Boss said. The '07 Yamaha Attack was crazy fast. At 110mph indicated you could squeeze the throttle and the front end wanted to lift. I'd never felt anything that pulled like that at the top and still haven't! Was it the old Blizzards that had the carbs sticking back toward your crotch? I remember seeing a guy on Big Lake running down the ice road feeding his carbs with a can of ether. That sled went...
