1 year later and not a single snowmobile trail opened this year. Crazy times.

[@keithalbrecht4785]

Looked like a ton of fun! I've always like the Ashland aera, we use to go up to Red Cliff to a B&B!! Thanks for Sharing!!!

[@ghostbuck88]

Yeah, it's beautiful up there! Good deer numbers from what I could see in the fresh snow. Quite a bit more ag land vs east of there. Would be fun to get some deer hunts done in that area.

Nice video. Ive got a cabin just east of Mercer. Nice area. Been too busy finishing my cabin up but next year or 2 ill have another sled.

Pretty sad,its may 30th 2023 snd I can't wait for the snow already!!😂😂😂

[@tonys1641]

I recommend doing a price county ride. Nice trails out there. And less people. And Forest Riders trails. Just west of Minocqua.

[@ghostbuck88]

Yeah on the way back from Ashland we hit a lot of those. We like going that way too!

[@lisaweaver7992]

No snow and trails closed in 2023/2024. Pretty sad.

[@tonys1641]

Another nice video! I just subscribed to your channel. I live just north of Minocqua. Do you have a cottage in the St Germain area?

[@ghostbuck88]

Thanks for the subscribe! My Father In Law has a place on Lake Content in St Germain. I come up 4 or 5 times a winter. I have a couple more rides I am going to upload in the near future.

i live in ashland. rhinelander to ashland was 176 miles. I mean the worse part of the ride is ashland. plywood palace is the biggest joke. at least you stopped at pit stop where its actually good.
