Today was a fun and interesting day. Last night we got around a foot of fresh snow. Needless to say, the groomers weren’t able to get it all packed in as much as they would have liked. After a few hours on the trail, they were beat up pretty good. I would say they were the worst conditions I’ve ridden in during the last 3 years. They were a 2 or 3 out of 10. Obviously this is not a good first impression for my friends that were first time snowmobilers. We had to ride 60 miles to Ironwood to pick up a rental sled, so that turned into being a heck of a morning. We grabbed breakfast at Korner Kitchen in Wakefield (pretty decent food and fast service). By the time we got to Ironwood, we had some sore butts and backs. My buddies were definitely ready to be done riding on the 2 up! After we got the rental sled we headed east on trail 8 into Bergland. After a quick stop at Timberline Ski-doo we headed south on the lake to the Root Cellar for a few snacks.
We left there, crossed the lake and took trail 1 south into Marenisco and stopped at Bam Bam’s for a pizza. We got back to the house and everyone was pretty well beat. We met up with some friends at The Bear Bar and talked about the plan for tomorrow.
