Snowmobile sales stagnant in U.P.

ISHPEMING — Snowmobile sales have reportedly gone up in Minnesota this season, but how about the U.P.?

At Meyer Enterprises in Ishpeming Township, snowmobile sales have been stagnant since people are spending more money repairing their old sleds.

“Generally speaking, Presidents Day weekend and Valentines Day weekend when they fall together like this, we have some people that have an extended weekend, a three-day, four-day weekend so we hope that it’s a busy weekend here in central Upper Michigan and throughout the U.P.,” said Greg Meyer, Co-Owner, Meyer Enterprises.

Meyer says that the lack of snow in lower Michigan and other parts of the country have brought snowmobile enthusiasts to the U.P., also helping his sales.
