    Snowy Mountains - April 2014

    First trip out West. Absolutely amazing powder!!! Slightly over my riding talent, but somehow we managed. Deep pow days 1 and 2, pretty set up the other days. Can't thank Sam and his buddy Kurtis enough for helping with all the stucks (and there were lots). They would encourage me to try...

    How long will they go?

    Got the new sled mag’s in the mail yesterday. I'm sure it's old news, but saw that Ski-Doo has a new mtn. sled with a 174” (3” paddle) track. Good lord, these lengths just keep getting longer and longer! I guess my 144” is considered a short track now days. Crazy!

    Roof shoveling

    This "roof raking" stuff would have never crossed my mind. But once you see a roof like this, I guess it makes sense.

    NE Iowa Conditions?

    Had the most epic day of riding ever with this guy over the weekend. No deep powder, no freshly groomed trails (although they were great), no break-neck speeds and no beers afterword to BS (Red Bull on the ride home as he told me his favorite parts from the day). Still the best time I’ve ever...

    Off-Trail Tour Guide Needed

    Would like to get one more “real deal” trip in this year (preferably off trail). Anywhere between these dates can work for me: 3/7 thru 3/13 or 3/15 thru 3/20. Send me a PM if you got something planned within these dates and wouldn’t mind having another tag along. Will travel --- UP, MN, WI...

    On the board

    About 2" today. Had to run the sled around the neighborhood just to be sure it was running good. Racked up about 2.5 miles total. LOL! What's everyone else got on so far this season?

    Truck loading ramp

    Ready to chase. Ended up buying a ramp, this way I can load the sled into the bed without the platform if need be. 2X8's so the ramp slides right under (as you can see). Gotta get some guides onto the platform and should be good to go. Not as sexy as an enclosed trailer, but I'll be loving...

    Truck loading ramp

    Money tight, giving serious consideration to delaying the enclosed trailer for a yr so I have the funds to chase (and better mpg to boot!). Been watching a few loading ramps on ebay, just wondering if anyone has or has used one they thought was good (or bad). Thanks.

    Trailer TYPE advice needed

    Sold the 6X12 cargo hauler tonight, looking to get a new (used) trailer. Not looking for advice on "brand" but rather type (or style). Hoping for another covered, but the 8X12's are like gold. Coming to the realization that the only covered trailers in my range are tilt, so trying to pick my...

    Worlds worst gift wrapper?

    Classic guy move here, waited till the last minute to get all the gifts wrapped for the wfe. I was just down in the basement thinking I could possibly be the worst ever at wrapping gifts. Even the "square" boxes tend to give me problems. I didn't even bother wrapping until the past few years...

    Pulling a cargo trailer in high winds and ice

    I nearly $hit myself yesterday when I went out in the weather for the first time pulling my 6X12 enclosed cargo trailer (6ft tall) with my sled snugled safely inside. Winds were howling at around 40-50 mph and the road was completely iced over. My speed was a whopping 15. When I looked back...

    Whats your desktop picture?

    Last years trip to the Black Hills. Every single day I stare at this and wonder what is beyond that bend behind us (we were on trail sleds, so couldn't find out). I'm finding out for sure this year since I've got the RMK now!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!

    Is this a problem or normal?

    Not a tech expert by any means, so hoping for a little help here. My 2008 600 RMK tends to have a small puddle of oil under it after I run it for a while (dripping from the exhaust). It's not a lot, so it could be completely normal, but thought I better get it figured out before the snow flies...
