I might try to ride this weekend.
Yup anyone born after Jan 1st 1985 needs to take a safety course and carry your certificate to ride in Wisconsin.
I don't know why they gave up only after a few weeks of abnormally low snow. I've been saying this for years, you really need to go out west to enjoy those machines. Can't expect the deep powder you want in the midwest.
You don't need "deep powder" to ride a Summit. The Yoop has plenty to offer for these machines to be honest. Plus the higher skill level required to ride the Yoop really set me up well for riding out West. It was honestly much easier to ride in than expected... Like riding on clouds the whole time! So easy to steer and adjust, even with the most rowdy terrain.
Good admit, running pillowed creeks was my favorite.
Oh and I bought a Munster finger throttle. Couldn't believe how much easier it was to ride with a full right hand grip of the handle bar. Rode a Pro RMK 163 with one and it was great.
The Skidoo has more power HANDS DOWN than the 850 Polaris - but the Polaris is narrower and offers more stable turning sensation - which I didn't actually like. I was totally fine sidehilling the Skidoo as well unless really RIPPING across a hillside. I did get washed out once while going across deep vertical paths as I was sidehilling with a bit of speed.

My buddy's been up there since the mid 90's so they have spots,plus your on a snowmobile so wherever it fits it goes?. Honestly most of the time I have no idea where we are at? I have my headphones in, beautiful scenery all around me and control the amount of fun with my thumb
You just said your crew sold their sleds because of snow conditions. Now you don't need powder and the UP is fine for those sleds?
Please share more info about the trip.
Dunno, I don't agree that west is the best.
Did I enjoy it? Sure. The powder was fun and definitely provided a different kind of riding. It was almost "easy" to ride in compared to the Yoop.
You can DEFINITELY use a 154 2.5 sled in the Yoop off trail. The snow can be deep and powder there too, but more often it's more "punchy" and is harder to ride on. I think having learned in the Yoop snow made it super easy to ride out west.
Would I say I'll never ride the Yoop again having been west? Hell no. Matter of fact, I'll be going north next week. Reminds me, I need to get my sleds and tweak the clutching.
I'll also go west one more time this year if all goes to plan. ?

Funny you mention that. My Daughter goes snowmobiling like 6-7 hours in to Wisconsin with her BF. Him and his family own a home up there and he owns a few sleds, no clue what kind.
But my Daughter was all excited last week as she got her Wisconsin "License" is what she called it. So now after 2 years being a passenger she can finally drive one.
Both my 850s (2017 + 2019) ran perfect right off the trailer.
Maybe that have some altitude calibration. SUMMIT
Tony took his 16 Viper and Paulie his 19 Assault. They said once they got home they wouldn't start easily either.
I don't think that is a trail. But figures people would be riding all over anyway.
it is not a trail.
my post wasn't too clear but i meant they rip from the trail at chapel hill then up bay road
