Yeah I have a buddy up there and he does a lot of ATV ice racing on the lakes (both quads and trikes). It takes a lot of time to stud a tire though...lol.jfish26 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 11:15 amI lived in Minneapolis for about five years. The winters are fine (honestly the short days are tougher than the cold).
The key is to find a reason to like the winter. For me, it was snowmobiling. For others, it's ice fishing or cross-country skiing or hunting or any number of things. If you have a reason to look forward to winter, it's bearable, even pleasant.
Winter 2007, I was at a friend's lake house near St. Cloud, Minnesota. So, about 75 miles outside Minneapolis.shindig wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 11:29 amYeah I have a buddy up there and he does a lot of ATV ice racing on the lakes (both quads and trikes).

Now that sounds like a blast! I totally would have done the same thing. Snowmobiles are fun, amazing how fast you can go on them.jfish26 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 11:52 amWinter 2007, I was at a friend's lake house near St. Cloud, Minnesota.

My friend and I had Sunday night football tickets, and there was a significant blizzard. Highways shut down, so on and so forth.
So what were two twenty-somethings to do? Well, run snowmobiles at 50-80mph (depending on visibility) right down I-94, all the way into downtown Minneapolis.
And we were far from the only ones. I've got a great picture of us on our snowmobiles outside the dome, with a couple hundred similarly-situated folks in the background.
