I always chuckle when I see an ad with "mostly UP miles" when the person lives in IL or southern WI. To me that is worse than "mostly IL miles" because that means it's been up and down the salty interstate its whole life lol. I guess there are a lot of enclosed trailers, but more often than not its on an open 2 place.
I know I always get a kick outta that.
Like it will say up north miles or UP miles.
Like is the snow up there doing something to preseve the sleds better than in the south?

Ok, I'll disagree. Sleds ridden in good conditions do suffer less wear than bad conditions. I have a sled with 10K miles on it ridden almost entirely in good conditions and it still runs on the original track, bogey wheels, etc. I changed the idler bearings last year for good measure but they were all still good. Good luck with that running in the dirt and rocks that are regular occurrences down south.

I have a sled that's been ridden in mud, dirt, gravel, paved road, thin trails, and have replaced only one idler bearing. Stock track and bogeys etc. 9000 miles. My skis are prolly more beat up than yours.
I doesn't matter where it's been ridden. Miles are miles.
I guess I'm in a debating mood. So you are saying all miles are created equal? Mountain miles = trail miles? Riding across tar = riding across a smooth flat trail? Mogul miles = flat miles? Hmmm...hard to see your logic.

Miles are not miles, period. Riding in marginal snow conditions will result in more wear and tear, mostly on skis, skags, hyfax and the rear suspension. That's why your skis "are prolly" more beat up.
