I might need a new battery for my Rush 800, finally bought a tender for it but think it may be too late. 2 battery in 3+ years. Anyway next 7-12 day period looks pretty decent so far may cut to far for me on initial synoptic snow but could get some decent LES on the back end. 

Just a side note you can tell APX must be really board....

Picked up a 2007 viper down in  Negaunee a couple months ago. First time having a sled in a few years. I don't do a lot of joy riding, but I actually needed one last year a few times. May enjoy riding more than I think...Put 1000 miles on my quad over the summer.

anyway, waiting on the snow. 

Having the right sled makes riding much more enjoyable.

Sleds are way more fun than quads. Much cleaner and less dust, bugs and more trails. Probably 75% of all state trails are gated in the summer.

I live In The Huron's. I'm not worried about gates. I like exploring... I've been all over the sled trails.

I have never for one been much into trail riding myself we ride mainly off trail/two tracks a lot more fun.

BTW... looks like the GFS is shifting toward the Euro.

Might be zilch for riding until at least mid month. How depressing.

Got a long ways to go still wouldn't get to caught up in the run to run changes.

Anyone want to put odds on whether or not the north woods will have a white Christmas this year? After the brown one last year in many spots up there it's safe to say their do. We did have a white thanksgiving this year at Higgins Lake, about 4", but white thanksgivings usually mean a big warm up a couple weeks later and a brown Christmas, I hope this year bucks that trend.

Pretty much a certainty for my area, Gaylord has had only a handful of brown Christmases,  especially with the cold shots coming the next 10-15 days.
