Got over a foot in twin lakes area and its currently snowing at about an inch an hour. I think the snow is here to stay as we have continued snow in the forecast. I am gonna make the maiden voyage here to make sure the m8 is running correctly and ready to go. If anyone is interested please hit me up. I have no job in the winter so my schedule is wide open and I can accommodate anyone's schedule. Pow pow pow pow pow pow pow!!!!!! Bammmmmmmm

South range.. Absolutely no base though. Probably should wait a couple and let this consolidate. But if you just needed to make sure your machine was operating correctly you could prob make that happen...

Keep us posted on conditions. Especially early, as we are anxious to come but don't want to tear up new equipment.

More snow today.. We are supposed to warm up for a day or two this week so that could actually help us a lot. IF We get a nice consolidation and the next storm as predicted we could be right into the swing of things. Still wait before heading up we need just a bit more time and staying away from the trails until the end of deer season is a good idea:face-icon-small-win

mthoodskiguy - You say pow days are here....Can you elaborate on that? Maybe tell me that there is plenty of snow to hit the woods? Just some wishful thinking on my part. Headed to Houghton area Jan 13 so I am hoping you guys are going to start getting that LES machine fired up

Fingers crossed

It's snowing at a good clip. I think we might not get as much as some if the places west of us but the snow is flying and we have prob picked up 3" since this morning. I did some setup work today and was able to putt around south range a bit so I guess that's good. :face-icon-small-dis

So I do think we will be able ride some trails by Sunday but going off of them will NOT be advisable. I will prob try and cruise up to the mosquito for dinner or something on Sunday just cUz. My house is right at the end of the Freda trail by the dam so its a real nice cruise out there..
