we are supposed to head up for a club trip but a friend drove thru the area and said if 6 inches or more doesn't fall he would stay home or go elsewhere, is it that bad? the trip is for this thursday thru sunday, love the area but haven't been up there for a couple years cause of the snow conditions. Having kids makes it tuff to chase snow as most of you know.

i have a cabin up near hayward and tehre isnt much snow to talk of maybe 5 or 6 inches at the very most its not looking good. call hayward power sports and they can give you a better weather report than i could

toll free number 866 hpsport

i hear the flowage is good and so are the fireroads,is that possible? Thanks for the phone#

just up there today in semi hayward shot i mean shot areas north on hyway 27 a little better but not great but it was snowing today maybe better near ashland hayward was grass in town.

I live here in the Hayward area, trails are ridable, The big Chip is great and flat.

XCR1250 or others, tell me about riding on the flowage. How much riding is available on it? Is it something where you can spend a day goofing around on it? Or is it round and round in the same place which gets boring in an hour or so.

Thanks much.

that is what I figured, but it sounds like we are going to give it a try cause a couple of the guys don't want to go to deep snow in cooke city for some reason lol. I guess I now have to decide whether to bring a sled with studs or withoout. I have a f7 std that has no studs and a zr9 with studs, sounds like we will be doing alot of riding on the flowage so some racin may take place, might have to bring both I guess. Hate to grind off 10 in carbides and 192 studs lol

RIDING IS AS GOOD HEAR AS AN WHERE JUST HAVE TO SAY OFF THE HWY TRAILS LIKE NEXT TO HWY 77 OR TOWN

You can ride anywhere easily on the marked trails, it's great, it's a vast wilderness lake, with 35,000 acres of area, and 17,000 acres of frozen surface, and snowing right now at 2:00 AM, the "Chip" is flat and fast too, many pit stops and miles of trails on it, the fire lanes are also good, with most trails in fair to good condition, with a 3-5 inch hardpack base, come up, stop on 5 and 21 at Louies Landing.

just read 3 inches fell yesterday might help out a little another dose for thusday to.

XCR 1250.......Do you live close to Louie's? Our cabin is down by Winter. Is the Tuscobia and trail 5 rideable to get up to Louie's and the forest roads?

I heard 5 was all torn up by logging.

Ashland is pretty much grass too, as of yesterday. There were a few sleds out on the bay.

I'm 400' North of the bar, I run a sled repair shop here, stop in and say Hi. we always have plugs, bealts, bars, etc.
Forest roads are great,I've heard nothing about 5 being torn up.
My daughter lives in Winter, near The Wannigan.

:banana: Is she single ??? :div20: I heard she makes the best Jerky in the state.. :div20:

Ya know who !!!

You must be the guy that Roger talked about and cleared the drag strip on the lake last year while we were up there. Stayed in one of their cabins there a few days last winter. Had a large enclosed trailer with Arctic Cat on the side. We just bought our cabin last summer. It's southeast of Winter down past the Rustic Inn. Will keep you in mind for repairs and parts when we are up there.

That's right, I plow the drag strip.

any update with the latest snow in Hayward?? Weather channel says 1 to 3" today....

I just heard it's snowing pretty good all over the Northern part of the state :div20: Here's a clip from Hayward. :beerchug:

Let us know how much you get by the end of the snow fall.

This is prior to the new snow today :div20: .
