North Metro Twin Cities area

[umdivx]

Just wondering if anyone on here is in the North Metro (Ramsey/Elk River/Zimmerman) area?

Just picked up a new sled and don't have anyone to ride with this weekend with the pending storm I really want to get out and ride the new sled just not alone.

Hi Josh,

We live in the Elk River Area and snowmobile in the Western U P of Michigan. I sometimes keep a sled in Minnesota as well. This weekend it is a U P ride. Our email address is pareyfarm@yahoo.com, give us a shout, what kind of sled did you just get?

Picked up a 2010 Switchback 600. Went up to my cabin this weekend on the south side of Mille Lacs. Put on 80 miles yesterday.

How often do you ride the UP? That is one place i haven't ridden but would love to some time.

The Sand Dunes were groomed yesterday, I went for a quick ride and the trails were covered but were on the thin side. A couple of inches Thursday would be great! Can u go Friday a.m.?

those are some fun trails around there. The local club put up a new shelter out there in the sand dunes this fall , looks real good . Thats one place I like to ride after a snowfall , when the snow sticks to all the trees ( Kodak moment ). Will be out there running around from zim to becker to jack and jims......on saturday . Hope the trails hold up , there will be alot of sleds out. IF I could I would rather ride friday before the sled traffic picks up.

That new shelter is about 2 miles from my house, looked really nice. I am sure it will get plenty of use!

It will be nice too see it being used......we are west of elk lake and hope to see someday the trail to run down co.rd 1 to the golf corse since they have the ditches looking real good after the road was fixed. Maybe head ta 169 on 33 or try and find a spot to tie into hwy 10 and make that a good loop ta run to Becker and back. Back in the day the trail went thru the Woods development and it was a blast ta hit it hard. Sure miss that trail.........will see how it goes. Maybe on the trail around 1:30 OR 2 PM ...hope they are looking good then......will see .......later

Josh,

We are in the U P of Michigan in Ironwood every weekend there is snow for riding. We have a house a block from the main trail through Ironwood. Always have plenty of room for fellow snowmobilers.

I live on the trail in Big Lake. I noticed that the groomer went by last night. The trail from BL to Becker was a little ruff on Saturday but was in great shape going North along 25 up to Deulm. North of Duelm the snow got pretty thin.
You could ride up to Duelm over to Orrock and back to Zimmerman.

Damn women.

Went out for a good ride this morning and the trails were freshly groomed. I hope we don't get the rain or sleet that is being forecasted, trails were in good shape. Took a loop from Elk River/Zimmerman/Orrock/Big Lake.
