What Will You Be Riding This Winter?

[gary_in_neenah]

It's that time of the year. Leaves are turning and the mornings are feeling frosty. On the old forum we used to have a feature for creating surveys and polls. I recall Polaris was consistent with having the most riders on JohnDee.com So, let's see how things shake out for the winter of 2023/24.

I'll be staying with my current sled, the Ski Doo, Blizzard. I like the ride, the mileage is great, and I'm just all around happy with the whole experience.

Pictures of your current machine are always welcome. Let's see who and what will be on the trails this winter!​

Two Yamahas. Apex and old Srx that looks new. Would like to buy something new, but can't justify it. Think Snow!!

Still running my 21 850 SKS. Polaris isn't making the SKS anymore so I'm not sure what my next sled will be, Plan to order a new one next spring so we'll see.

My son and I will be riding our same sleds we have had since new, mine is a 16 MXZx 1200 and his is a 17 Gade XRS 800. We also have these to ride. The 72 T'NT 292 is getting restored right now, putting motor in this weekend, then just got hood to do (at painters). The 73 T'NT 294 is ride able now and will be next years project.

I'll be riding this in the steep and deep and my 800 Backcountry on the trails.

Nice T'NT's RV245! Beautiful job on the 72!.

A little jealous looking at the sleds in this thread. Nothing anywhere new for me. Will use the 2000 XC for the trail, otherwise, spend some time on the old 2013 RMK.

Thanks.......

My 16 is the first sled that I've ever snow checked and the 2nd brand new sled that I've had. The last brand new sled I bought was a 73 Olympique 440s. I was a senior in high school and skipped school to go to a Doo dealer that was going out of business to see what sled they had left. The only sleds left was 2 Elans, the Olympique and a Bullet 340 (was sold), went home and talked my dad into co-signing on the sled. Sold my 71 Elan and used that to pay down the loan.

They are both bogie wheel sleds as I want to do the Sled the Mac. Hoping to do this year if I can get the 72 back together and also get the time off work.

2022 Yamaha Sidewinder Gt don't know what I will be replacing the 2022 Skidoo 850x with. Might be with another Sidewinder just looking for the right one. Have a few saved on marketplace and only 1 has sold in the last 2 months.
