What Will You Be Riding this Winter

[gary_in_neenah]

I know, I know, IF we get the snow.
Make and Model.
New Ones, Same Ones, and Vintage.

I'll go first with same sled I've been on for a few years. The Ski Doo Blizzard with the 900 ACE and Ice Ripper with adjustable carbides.

I picked up a 2021 Ski Doo MXZ XRS with a brand new 850 engine in it last year. Got about 200 miles in riding fields and such so its basically a new sled...to me at least.

2024 Skidoo MXZ Blizzard 850 137”

Probably more excited to see my little dude turn 12 in December and ride his new to him 2015 Skidoo MXZ Sport 600 Ace on the trails by himself!

 

[IOWASLEDDER]

A new leftover rental from one of the Headwaters locations HOPEFULLY on a couple trips.

Same sled for several years. last Year I made some adjustments to my shocks (My son's and mine) and never had a chance to compare the ride to the previous year.

But for me this will be the year I take out my restored 1983 Yamaha SS440. Been looking forward to that for the last several years and never got to it. Now it's a priority. Can't wait

Know that feeling! my son has been riding since he was 3, when he turned 12 I told him if he passed the safety course I would give him my ZRT800, had no doubt he would pass through observation and he did, Happy for you and your son indy, been there and done that! GOOD TIMES!

My dad grabbed a new sled around 1995 and handed a 1990 indy 500 to me at 10years old and said have fun!!
But he also had me drive his truck towing a bass boat at 14years old while he slept in the passenger seat. I think it helped me take responsibility at a younger age....too many kids get treated like kids for too long... especially boys

2019 Renegade 900T XRS. Just shy of 10k miles despite back surgery (Dr banned me from sledding for complete season) and last year only getting one ride in (850 miles).

I hope to be riding a 1972 polish woman a little more often. Otherwise it may be her and I on the 2001 Panther. The 2015 Ski Doo is for sale.

2021 Ski Doo Backcountry.

I’ll be on the same sled, 2017 Ski Doo Renegade 900 Ace. It’s all ready to go fresh fluids, super clean and excited for at least 1,000 miles this season.

 

[garageguy]

2023 indy 650 or my 2010 indy 600 or my 2006 fst

I clanged out a whole bunch of coin on a new 858 RXC for the next season.
The interesting part of the thread title is "Riding and Winter". I sure hope the season isn't like last winter. Riding was a challenge. It was more like riding for about one week vs. all winter.
@gary_in_neenah , I like the thread. My own version is more like. "What are you hoping to ride this winter?"

I'm stocked up on carbides and misc. parts in case the snow chase is a challenge.

 

[Hoosier]

18 cat 600 for the 7th and maybe last season. 8k on it now. If things line up I may upgrade at the end of the season.

 

[scoobydoo]

2020 Ski Doo Renegade for at least another year, probably do a little vintage riding on a 79 exciter.

 

[SledTL]

Leftover '23 XRS 900R. Ready to see how the beast pulls across a lake.
