we should get a mid winter ,say december ,january or febuary ride going?? mabey gilbert or local trails,pits ect what do you all think,keep in mind i ride a sport machine so i wont be going through 4ft snow like you 4x4s

 

Yeah, maybe it could work. Lets see how many people want to come.

Oh and if theres lots of snow I think you can count me out because Ill be sledin.

 

c'mon is everybody that lazy? oh wait there watching the vikings well the choke! hahahaha

 

The one bad thing about winter in MN,as far as ATV's go, is a lot of trails close to us after Nov. Most of the snowmobile trails we ride all summer are off limits to us from November to the end of April, and the state lands are regulated much the same. And if an area is open to both,try riding when there are a lot of snowmobiles around. The ones who don't pull up and scream at you for 'ruining' their trails will just buzz by a couple of feet away at 70 - 90 mph to try and drive you off. Sounds harsh, I know, and I have nothing against sleds, it's just after years of winter riding, I have met only a scattered few sled riders that don't outright hate ATVs in 'their' areas. Wisconsin, on the other hand, has about 90 percent of their trails open to ATV use all year round, haven't tried there yet in the winter, so don't know how the sled riders there react to quads. Can't be as bad as the people I've run into here over the years. To be honest, now that my son rides with me all the time, I rarely ride in the winter anymore,too afraid of some a-hole buzzing us and hurting some one, or having my son hear some of the 'comments' I've gotten from sled riders.

 

How about Hurley Wisconsin? You can ride ATV's all year round.

 

i heard gilbert is open to atvs in the winter???

 

other than that, I am usally in SilverBay,MN because the trails are open and groomed for atvs and snow mobile and lax lake
is plowed for the fishers but we use it as a 1 mile ice track[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Clark County is nice, (about 100miles of trails) and it is just a short hop from St. Paul on I-94. And they are open all year too!

 

The OHV park is open during the winter. The only downside is that you have to be out of the park 1 hour before sunset, and it gets dark real early this time of year.

 

well,anyone up for iron range ohv??? when will we go?
