Indian Lake to Newcomb: Update 1/25/17
Was about to take a snowmobile ride today. Upon checking the underside of my skis, I discovered the carbide from my right ski had sheared off from behind with some decent ski wear.

Ride to Speculator and Wells: Update 1/19/17

Indian Lake was a pretty smooth and flat crossing. The […]
Yes! Snowmobile ride to Speculator 1/11/17
