This quote is hilarious!!!
I went to school in Houghton, MI and rode mainly trails and always looked at those big power line hills :face-icon-small-sho ! Now I ride out west, it's a whole different ballgame

See it in person I doubt you'd climb it. Its not that i think its crazy steep its the characteristics of the hill that sucks. The last half is vertical and snow doesn't stick to it. Its basically an icey rocky path with large visual rocks. If you run the hill and halfway up you can keep to the edges its very easy to climb, there's just no traction up the center of it.
If more than 75% of people like to spin their paddle tracks on rocks go ahead.
dang i miss being 19 and having it all figured out :face-icon-small-hap
its all good dude you gotta expect some trash talk 75% of us riders have no snow !
let it snow

Yooper Snow / Hill climb
I have 3800 miles on my 013 Pro most of it up here in Da Up, more powder riding than I ever experienced in the Western Trips I've been on at Cooke and Island Park. We had so much power last year you'd be Lucky to climb a hundred foot hill, but that's ok we don't want to many coming up here tracking up our snow anyways. :face-icon-small-hap

Lots of Snow in Da Up eh
More powder here in the Upper than I ever experienced out west in Cooke City and Island Park. Always settled and all tracked up when we got there. Of course I know if you live there it makes a big difference. I've lived in the Upper 6 yrs now and have experienced many excellent powder days. 3800 miles on my 013 Pro 155 with camo extreme, last Year was Awesome you could get buried on a Hundred ft tall hill. So stay home we don't want too many coming up here tracking up our Snow. :face-icon-small-hap

Steep, icy, and rocky? Yea. It's short though. Don't ever let fear and common sense hold you back :face-icon-small-win
If the old iron can make it in 2006, the new sleds sure can. :face-icon-small-coo
The UP is a ton of fun and they get a lot of snow, but I'm still going to make the 20+ hr drive to the mountains every year, so....
I hope the UP keeps getting pounded! Congrats on the early run, I'm jealous

Managed to get 100ish miles in on my new Pro. First Polaris after being on Doo for quite a few years. Believe me it wasn't an easy decision to make. 3 year warranty helps ease the mind though.
Revy had a slow start but the base is there, just need the precip to come over the next few weeks to fill in the creeks. I don't post much on here but read all the threads.
Looking forward to a whole season on this sled.

I've climbed that hill many times. My old 05' M7 ate it up it with ease. It used to seem big to me too before I moved to the Rockies.

skidoos can go in reverse over that hill

First time I made it there I saw a guy start spinning and somehow got his sled turned out without rolling down. No way I'd run it without studs or traction screws, maybe I care about my stuff too much?

Cool hill if you play in the trees on the sides! Otherwise it's for the studded trail sleds to rip up.
Just wait till you get west for your first time Indy! Your whole perspective on "Big Hill" will change! It's humbling every time I go!

I actually ran thru the trees on the north side of the hill this weekend, probably a stupid idea this early was spitting up a couple rocks.
That was my buddy I would've considered with another 2' of snow, we were digging dirt all weekend.
I'm from Michigan and the hills out west are way bigger !!!
I can't imagine our kind of horsepower out there though.. I go to Tog area every year and also ride South Range ... No comparison!!!
The 20 hour drive sucks .. but its 14 from my house in Kalamazoo to Houghton
