Early Dec. is some of the best snow we experience all season.

Milwaukee here. We have a pretty big group of riders from the area. Mostly ride the Mass City area, but also head out west at least once a year as the pocketbook allows. We've ridden with CuzzinOlaf. He's not the worst rider you could find to tag along.
We did the avalance course with Mike last year - it is a must if you ride out west. It was so much more valuable at being able to spot an avalance prone area, rather than what to do once you are in one. Avoidance is the safest way to handle an avalanche! Sign up for the class!

Harshaw, WI here. Just outside of Rhinelander. Do a lot of riding up outside of Mass City, buddy has a cabin there. We usually make one trip "out west" per year. Looking for a new place, have been hitting up West Yellowstone, or bighorns the last few...
