Go west!! I live in MN and haven't riden here in 3 years. lol
First time snowmobiling in Minnesota

I don't understand why you would go east from Nebraska and not west. I grew up riding the north shore and the U.P mich and none hold a candle to the mtns. I just started riding out west myself three years ago and would not waste a trip east if you are starting that far west, any one who opposed probably has not ridden the mountains

Could not have said it better myself!! I can no longer ride my sled in MN for longer than an hour because I get bored. Once you ride the mtns you will never look back.
Let me get this straight, you will haul sleds to Mn to go riding??? what are you thinking????? waste of gas money and time, go west young man,, go west!

They're right but.........
When I can't go West I find fun in.......Running rivers that are not fully frozen, bouncing through swamps with creekbeds cut in them. Powerline swaths with deep revines. Or just plain exploring. You make your fun where you can. I can't go West that much, but I still ride a mountain sled. With a mountain sled you can see things most trail riders don't even know exist.
We had a couple of great rides last year. One on Dec 26th on the upper reaches of the Cloquet river. Nice snow over slush. I don't think there was any ice , or so it seemed. Two M-8's. You'd slow down til you started to drop thu, then pin it. Roost a water spout, do a big wheely, then plain the jetski out. Carving figure eights and jumping sand bars. How could you have any more fun than that?
Then late in the year we had a great ride North of Isabella. Following flowages from one lake to another. Yes, there' some water skipping involved. It kinda' makes you feel like you have super powers.

ya ok you got me there i was guessing most people from nebraska dont ride a groomer like that and i thought a 151 2.5 was overkill!

I live in MN and usually go up by Leach Lake. they have a good trail system up there and some nice resorts. My buddy has a condo at a resort there...can't remember the name but its got pool, hotub, sauna and steamroom. Makes for a nice place to go ice fish or get drunk (or both) when the trails aren't that great. Plus there is a casino pretty close by. You should know that the trails get worn pretty fast there and sometimes it isn't really worth taking the sleds off the trailer except to pull a fish house out onto the lake. When there is new snow its a blast to ride the trails though. The big one that goes around Leach is like a highway...you can cruise it wide open if there isn't too much traffic.
