Just wondering how many of u guys have a trip set up this winter all ready?? *I hopen snow is alittle better in Michigan this year. But lets just talk about places people are headed!

I can't say that I have a trip planned. We ride generally in Vilas Co. Wisc.(the snowmobile capital of the world *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif )when the snow is good. Or I just put miles on in my imediate area.

I would like to hook up with a few guys,like Yarek. I never met my Daddy yet. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Hopefully gonna do the "snowmobilers from ####" trip, its about a week long, and a few weekend trips to the cottage. *I live in such a good snowmobiling area that I put a ton of miles on around home.

If I can find a job with a good enough boss, I will take a week and maybe a bit more and ride till I physically can't stand on my sled http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif *I have a couple 600 + km's that I would like to doo and maybe a job up north near James bay which will require me to drive *a sled a couple hours a day *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif I'm basically planning in ridding in Quebec untill the transCanada trail opens in 2 yrs *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I live in norther Indiana, already have three trips ready to go, the exact day and time of departure is yet to be determinded but which weekend is set

Dec 27-- weekend in Gaylord, given snow
Jan 32 -- weekend in cadillic, given snow
feb 28 -- Up, up by SSM, better be snow by then

I hoping this all works out and they I actually get to put miles on the new sled this year. *I better!!!

Starting to plan our northern blastoff from New Liskeard. 6 days of riding. Rooms are booked in New Liskeard, just have to make the other arrangements.

Nothing "planned", but will probably meet up with my bestfriend and ride in the UP for a weekend. He's short on weekends because he races, so maybe I better call him now and make plans. lol
My parents live up in Houghton Lake, so I'll probably ride up there too.
Man, I can't wait till winter!!!

There is never a lot of snow in my area that we can count on, so we have a standing trip planned to Northern Ontario every winter with friends and family. *Usually in Feb. we head north of Sudbury and usually take a ride up to Timmins and stay a night. *We usually leave on a Friday and come back the following Sunday. *This year I might have to make it a two week trip to make up for last year since we didn't get to go. *I forget the name of the place we stay at now. *I'll check. *We used to stay at Three Bears Camp near Shinning Tree. *Anyone ride that area?

Only been thru there in the summer. A friend has stayed in the area sledding though.

We have all decided to quit making plans because we allways wind up canceling because of bad conditions *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

Hoping to do a trip to either Old Forge or Cadilac the week of Spring Break (first week of March), provided that there is snow!! *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

jayjaysin, I have friends that have cottages in Gogama and have ridden there a number of times. Nice riding in that area and basically no traffic.
No big trips set for me yet this year I will wait to see where the snow is ......or if there is snow ....I like to try different areas each year for atleast one trip . Going to New liskard is starting to get boring I have rode the trails more there than some of my own clubs trails. Maybe the RAP tour around Algonquin Park ??

Where or what is that exactly ?

My truck and trailer is already hooked up and running...just waiting for the first flake, just kidding, but I&#39;ll be ready to roll where ever it takes!!

If anyone is planning a RAP tour, let me know, I&#39;ve done it once & my parents did it the winter of &#39;01.

Indy, w/ the Ontario info you get from me, you shouldn&#39;t have any problems planning a trip. The only thing is the trails in the Haliburton area suck on the weekends. Depending on where you start, you can avoid them.

Going to spend a week in Elk Lake riding the TATA trails as usual. There are a lot of good day loops (200 to 300k) from there and you can always count on lots of the white stuff.

i got a trip planned for the minnesota northshore in january.i hope theres snow

Rollo, find out from Troy Wilson @ Auld Reekie Lodge in Gowganda if the Elk Lake club got a new tractor. He&#39;s the club president. They had problems with the Massey last winter. We were thru Elk Lake twice a week apart & both times the trails were brutal.

In an email he said the tractor screwed up twice & was down for a couple of weeks. He was sorry about the conditions. 2 years ago when we went thru, the trails were perfect, so I knew something must have been wrong.

Also, have you or IndySKS rode from Elk Lake to Timmins via Matachewan & Gogama? I&#39;m curious about running that way from New Liskeard, instead of going up TOP A to Val Gagne and over.

http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif We have a trip planned for Nipiwan Sask, for the provincial Snowmobile Festival, and other than that, wherever there is snow *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Jayjaysin, I ride that area quit a bit, our cottage is close to there, good aggressive riding, love the power line trail.

Indy sks, the snowmobiler riders from #### trip is around a thousand miles. its about 150 guys, who all meet in Northbay and ride through quebec and back into Ontario. *The trip cost about $500. and that includes all your hotel rooms, oil and booze. {in the hotel room}, and also quebec trail permit. *The trip is five days, four nites. *The trip is at the end of feb.

No trips planned for out of state, just the usual "have to go where the snow is"- Tug Hill, best on weekdays to avoid the crowds.

Revrnd, when we were at Elk Lake last year it snowed almost the entire time, so it was difficult for the groomers to keep up. THere does seem to be alot of trouble with equipment around there though.
Also, there was a new trail installed last year from Shining tree to Timmins. THat way you don&#39;t need to go all the way over to Gogama. It&#39;s on a power line. We got from Timmins back down to Matachewan in about 3-4 hours. It is not a TOPS trail yet.

I am gong on my first trip to quebec. St micheal de saints. I will be going there in febuary the 6th to the 11. Other than that i will be in tug hill just about every weekend.

Our annual 4 day run is being finalized as I type. Rooms are being reserved with a credit card.

Last year was 750 miles. This year will be a little more I think.

Now where is the snow? http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

Rollo, we were there just before that whole area got dumped on. Southern Ontario hardly got any snow, & NE ontario got too much *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

revrnd....we can never get to much snow http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

well mxz7 you can count on meetin up with me, team skidoo and 02snopro *we are all in portage:)

Going to N.H., Maine, N. B. and Quebec for the winter. Bought our retirement home in White Mts of N.H. Hope to ride from the house north. Will spend majority of the time in the Saguenay-Lac St. Jean area. However am planning on one big trip 1,500 to 2,000 miles. Northern and Western Quebec. Right now 6 of us going. Do not want anymore for this long of a trip. Could end up being 4. There is one thing good about getting old. I can snowmobile all winter. Come on Winter.

planning a trip from Arnprior to Northbay to Obabika Lake where a friend of mine lives all year round. *from there we will cruise the Temagami area for a couple of days before we head back south.

Panteraone, there is such a thing as too much snow. *We were deciding wether or not to leave the day they got that dump in late feb I think it was. *Our friend that owns the Getaway Lodge that we stay at said that there was soooo much snow that the groomers couldn&#39;t get out, you couldn&#39;t break the trails, the weight of all the snow cracked the ice and forced water up on top of the ice and made all the lakes 4&#39; of slush over the ice base. *And in that area, you can&#39;t get very far without crossing a lake.

Revrend and Rollo, yeah great riding up there. *My father-in-law has been going up there for like 20 yrs, he and the previous owner from Three Bears, Slim, blazed and marked a lot of those trails up there. *He knows the place like the back of his hand. *Good guy to go riding with. *My favorite streach is the Grassy Road between Shinning Tree and Timmins. *Man, you can really oper her up there. *It&#39;s about 30&#39; wide and I think 3 or 4 miles long, rolling terrain and sweeping bends. *Man, when you hit those humps at 80-90 mph I think my sled is gonna flip over from wind resisitance like you see those jet boats due. *I know that&#39;s not gonna happen but that&#39;s what it feels like. *Love the riding in that area. *Usually good snow, good people, good fishing, and lots of good riding. *Can&#39;t wait to get there again this year. *I&#39;ll let you know when we&#39;ll be there when it gets closer.

Jayjaysin,yes try to let panteraona and I know when your coming up to sled in that area. *We will try to hook up. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/withstupid.gif

Riding in Cochrane kinda spoils you for riding anywhere else http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif We were just talking about our last trip there today and wishing it was winter already http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Sounds great Danny. I&#39;ll bring the venison sticks. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

grassy road is a nice ride ,usually ride there once or twice a year,i guess to much wet snow in an area where lakes dont freeze is not good,but up here in cochrane the more the snow the better,our lakes freeze from the end of nov to beg of april,and we get 3-4 for feet of ice on them

Yeah, they get several feet of ice on the lakes, but last year they froze early, and the weight of the snow causes pressure cracks in the ice and forces water up through them. *Also the holes that we drill for fishing also is a place for the water to get up through.
