We have had about 5 great thick real snow overnight and I wish the heck I was out riding in it. Hardly any sleds around. Went up to Gaylord this morning and hit all 3 places up there, Mega, Extreme and the Sled Shed looking around and had to get a few odds and ends. Snow even looked better up that way. Just had 3 guys in here that were based out of Howell and their pic is below. They rode from Lewiston to Gaylord and down to here and taking the trump trail #47 to Lovells. Its been a long time since I could say this but you couldn’t ask for better conditions. Thanks for checking in.

Only about an inch of new snow overnight but several sleds out and about already this morning. Yesterday was the best day of this sled season and at least putting me on the board for sales this season as last year I never took in a dime the whole month of February. Lots of riders and decent trails yesterday and am expecting a decent day today on sunday. Snow was very hard a rutty yesterday morning and several riders reporting runninig hot yesterday because no lube getting on the slides. It eased up during the day as the snow softened up. Enjoy what we have out there and please ride safely. Thanks for checking in.
