They are close for me. The last couple of years have been terrible for me for sledding. Between cancer taking my mom and then the next year my wife hurt her back it made for very little riding or time to ride for me. The economy has not left me a lot of expendable income to allow for trips to the north on top of it. Then this year the southern part of the state has had some good snow…and it looks like more snow to come. Two of my buddies from work want to do a trip to the north to offset some cost so that is in the plan for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately my wife hurt her leg pretty bad a couple weeks ago on the sled but has really been a trouper and toughed it out (she really likes to ride also) but doesn't look like she is going to be able to handle a trip north. So far this year I have close to 800 miles on and have only left the yard with the trailer twice for 15 miles worth of driving….don't know if my mom is looking down on us or if it is because my buddy sold his sled…I am going with my buddy selling cus it sure is fun to give him crap….so I decided to loan him one of my spares for the trip north…been thinking hard about dumping two of my spares because used market seems to be good but hard to part with two good machines…Hope everyone else's year is going good so far also…keep it between the piles and ride hard..<o
