Thanks for keeping it free to everyone John. You and your moderators run a great site. Snowest, like this site, is what it is because of the community that uses it. Only time will tell whether or not Snowest will be the same. It all depends on who stays and who moves on.
I'm on 3 sites regularly, SW, HCS and here. And, by far this is the friendliest site and much more enjoyable to visit without all the brand and people bashing. Joking is one thing, but outright negativity at others and their choice of machine just isn't needed.
We're all sledders and our community isn't growing as fast as some other sports might. We need to stick together and protect the resources we enjoy as a group or, honestly, this sport won't exist. Everyone should be able to use public land, and a huge THANKS goes out to all the private citizens who allow our sport to cross THEIR land for a few months a year. Without them and the dedicated people keeping snowmobiling alive we have a short future.
