If you do go to the UP, check out this place: http://www.fishandhuntshop.com/snowmobilerentals.htm for your snowmobiles and gear. Good people, I've dealt with them on my boats for years. They know the entire UP, especially the east and central parts, and won't steer you wrong. (No, I don't work for them.)

If you go, please pay attention to instruction if you're not really familiar with snowmobiles, and be careful on the trails at night - a lot of the snowmobilers spend a lot of time in the evening in the bars then decide to hot rod around. I worked on an ambulance corps in Grand Marais for 9 years, and our snowmobile runs were always pretty heavy-duty. Not a lot of protection when you get hit at 80 mph by a drunk idiot. It can be a fun sport but like most it needs to be respected and approached with some degree of discipline.
If you are in the UP the weekend of the 10th you should take in the dog sled races at Muskellonge Lake north of Newberry. A complete blast. They cross the snowmobile trail between Newberry and Grand Marais in two places so you can get some good views of some of the best dog sled teams in the midwest.

That bike is dope!!!! You ride in the snow on that? I just got into biking this fall and I cant wait for it to warm up again and get on the bike again hopefully one with the fat tires. If we make it up we can meet up. We are thinking to do fun new things with everyone and that would want to participate.

Dope for sure. I just got it so I've been riding it around. There are tons of groomed trails that go through the woods and packed snow. It's fun but tiring!
I love your positive attitude and all of the opportunities you give back to fans while getting at your own life goals. Go Blue!

Got me ready. Especially with the bikes!!

Depending on what you are looking for, tons of options closer to AA than the UP. You could go to NW lower Mi to get a taste of what its like before going to the UP. It all depends on snow conditions of course. Tons of fun, but going with someone with experiance would help. If you are looking for a day trip VS a few days , it may be a better option. We get a lot of lake effect on the west side , & predicting a lot of it within the next week. I have 5 sleds & all the gear if your interested. Always love introducing the sport to newbies. Sleds , gear and cabin located approx 1.45 hours north of Grand Rapids.

Wow I am so appreciative to be part of the great Michigan Family. It does make sense to make the first trip closer and I will defientty love to make my first trip with a guide. Can you email me at [email protected] Great start to the new year and then I can plan too better for other trips and know what we are getting ourself into.

stop by the farm if/when you come up since you will be just a few minutes away. you can warm up with a 'chess challenge', and i think we can probably load you guys up with some hot chocolate. good sledding here too, and it looks like God's snow machine is kicking in today and will be going the next week at least.
January 3rd, 2015 at 6:24 PM ^
I will. I emailed you too. Hot chocolate sounds great.
