Hey locky, we're getting hit right now with some good snow. About 10in. so far. How about on your side of the state?

locky · 01-22-2005, 04:16 PM

We got about 8 inches here. No snow since this morning. Put around 60 miles on today. Will put more on later tonight. The trails are in good shape. When you coming this way?

SnowRida · 01-22-2005, 08:29 PM

The wife and I still want to get away to Gaylord, we have a family place there, maybe in Feb. Interested in joining us?

SnowRida, We are actually going to be somewhat in that area with 4 other people on the 18th & 19th. We are parking the truck and trailers in Alanson and heading up to Mackinaw. Staying there Friday night and then heading to Cheboygen the next morning and then back to Alanson. Saturday night we will arrive in Big Rapids where we will stay there over night and ride.

The trails over this way are starting to suck. Alot of snirt. Suppose to be 40 this weekend.

the trail running thru big rapids is **** right now. a lot of dirt patches. we need it to snow NOW. i went to ride-on this past weekend and the lady in there said that the trails out side the city <north and south> get better. but the snow has been getting mashed down and its pitiful

about that weekend, im still on hold for whats going on. my dad and i dont have any plans for riding the weekend youll be in big raipds. if the snow is good count me in

My sister and brother in-law bought 2 new REV 600's this year, and they have a condo up by Petosky. They said the trails up there are awesome and not as crowded as around let's say Gaylord. They have met alot of sledder friends already. It would be nice to get some Michigander's together and go on a ride.
We should try and get something going. What you all think?

SnowRida · 02-04-2005, 05:24 PM

It's getting mighty soggy around here. Temp's in the 40's. I'm hearing trails are goin down hill.

PolarisINDY500 · 02-04-2005, 06:00 PM

locky · 02-15-2005, 01:28 PM

Im still keeping my fingers crossed for Alanson. Only have a couple days left for them to get snow up there. My new skis just arrived today. Getting ready to go put them on.

IndianRvrShiver · 02-15-2005, 07:29 PM

Hey, Locky!
You heading up to Alanson this w/e?? We might be in the area (Indian River)............maybe we'll run into you with your new sled!!

locky · 02-15-2005, 07:47 PM

They have to get some snow first. If it was up to me then I would keep driving until I found some. The other 4 people that are suppose to go dont want to.

PolarisINDY500 · 02-16-2005, 06:42 PM

from big rapids, to houghton there was nothing....then there was some around grayling/gaylord but after that it was grass untill you got over the bridge near troutlake/newberry. north of that there was enough snow to ride....better keep your fingers crossed b/c you aint findin anything south of the bridge

ITriumph · 02-16-2005, 08:05 PM

if we get slammed with the snow that they say we're gonna get then the riding will be excellent. I do know that they are getting slammed in da up in Luce Cty and Chippewa Cty.
