    Lol. Goofy yoopers. My ex fiance worked at the paper mill in munising. Funny stories about the sauna pronunciation there.

    Jack Straw I'm in the same boat. No sledding yet for me. I've gone snowmobiling every year for over 30 years. I'm hoping the snow gods help me out and I can go this weekend or next. Maybe we'll hit the UP too?

    I used to drive an old evinrude rc35, and Johnson (Jdx?) 400's, and an old Johnson 650. Then the old snow twister 440, and a friends old 340 panther with the fake cat print seat.

    Good times

    Trivia time!

    Try naming as many snowmobile manufacturers that used the word "ski" in their lineup!!
