My health insurance cost basically pays for 3 sleds I can no longer afford.

 

[Eagle]

Health insurance costs? Aren't you employed?

Health insurance costs? Aren't you employed?

Mine basically tripled this year from my company. Real cool

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Yeah my health insurance was free/pretty cheap.

Me paying for the wife and kid however...

 

[Eagle]

Welcome to the married life, son!

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Yeah, so that's where my sled money went. We've been over this.

Sounds like the snowmobile season is winding down. Trails are still OK in the woods and away from towns but getting there is the issue. Road trails are bare and trails in heavy traffic areas or spots that get hit by the sun all day are down to dirt.

I'm thinking the Northwoods closes after this weekend.

 

[Eagle]

I need one more trip. Trying to get a west trip setup for April.

 

[PANDA]

I really want to get out to South Dakota. Trailshead lodge just posted this was the worst winter in decades for them. Not a area known for off trail riding but has some of the best trails in the country.

My buddy Nick said he is heading out to "rabbit ears" and the "snowys" next week says he has to pickup a sled at "Vohk".

 

[PANDA]

Oneida, Vilas, Forest County all closed today or tomorrow. (I don't really follow anywhere else) My guess Iron will hold on for a bit more. UP is open till the end of the month regardless but they stop grooming based on weather.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Man, it seemed like a really short season, unfortunately.

 

[PANDA]

I mean it depends on where you are talking about... Northern IL had probably the longest season in over a decade. Southern and Central Wisconsin had a decent season probably best in a few years. Northwoods id say below average. Id call it slightly short at least in Oneida and Vilas County. Where Vilas opened after New Years and Oneida a few weeks after. Trails typically do not last till the end of the month in the Northwoods. We usually get another week from this point on if we are lucky. Hell even the Keweenaw didn't get the dumping's of snow all day everyday like they usually get. Id say they only got a few weeks of lake effect. The snow belt was just 300 miles to the south this season.

 

[Yaj Yak]

there was weeeeks of chain ice riding which hasn't happend for quite some time.

The river locked up, it was a VERY good season for IL, respectively.
