Snowmobiling in Wisconsin (feat. Dylan Rose & Jack Sarama)

The Cabin is presented by the Wisconsin Counties Association and this week we’re featuring Jackson County: https://bit.ly/3zxUStdThe Cabin is also brought to you by Group Health Trust: https://bit.ly/3JMizCXCampfire Conversation: With the meat of snowmobiling season still just ahead of us, Eric, Ana, and Jake welcome Dylan Rose and Jack Sarama into The Cabin. These Wisconsin natives host the snowmobiling show Boondock Nation, where they tour all over the U.S. and Canada and sled coast-to-coast to showcase trails and destinations. In this episode, they focus on Wisconsin’s snowmobiling trails and destinations. Discussions include the extensive network of trails (over 25,000 miles of trails criss-cross Wisconsin), the intense work involved in grooming and maintaining thousands of those trail miles, plus some great stops along the way. Some particular destinations receive focus, including the Eagle River and Land O Lakes areas and over to St. Germain and Sayner, where the modern style snowmobile was invented. The trails in many North Woods areas and the adjoining U.P. of Michigan often use former railroad rights-of-way and expansive lakes that allow you to really “open up” on the trails. Additional trail systems exist throughout the state, including Langlade County which bills itself as the “county of trails.” Additional systems in southern Wisconsin, where the seasons are shorter for snowmobiling, also offer trails closer to the larger cities. When you wish to ride off-trail but still want to have guidance and avoid private property, apps like OnX Offroad help you do just that. Yes, some key apps and equipment for better snowmobiling gets covered in this episode, too. Some events centered around snowmobiling happen across the state too, including radar runs and group rides; we dive into some of those, too, including the one at Bent’s Camp near Land O Lakes, which Jack and Dylan frequent when they’re not filming out west. This episode will definitely prep you for snowmobiling season, and as Jack said, remember: in the end, we’re all squeezing the same throttle.Connect to Boondock Nation: https://boondocknation.com/Discover more about the onX Offroad app: https://www.onxmaps.com/offroad/appConnect to the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs: https://awsc.org/Get maps of snowmobile trails across Wisconsin: https://www.sco.wisc.edu/maps/snowmobile-trail/Inside Sponsors:Washington County -  https://bit.ly/3qayJALShop Discover Wisconsin - https://shop.discoverwisconsin.com
