What is the average that you spend in a snowmobiling year?
[B]Not including this year unless you are lucky enough to have snow. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

well I spent a total of around $500 this year. I own 2 sleds a 77 panther and I use to own a 97 Zrt 600. I put around $200 in to the Zrt and only got 67miles on it, I had a little engine fire ($3200 in damage) http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif *and maybe $300 in the panther but I was finishing an Engine rebuild so. As of next week friday is will have spent another $5,000 on a 02 Polaris 440 Pro-X Fan(out of the box) but I think this year is an exception http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

I assume were not including the sled. *Not this year, but average 2-3K.

I should have enough money saved up this year, for a downpayment on a new sled. *Oh yeah, I did buy a 4 wheeler since it wouldn't snow.

i voted 1000-$2000.00 u.s. funds that is like the same amount of the canadian national debt, without sleds of course.

http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif In a good year it would be about $2000-$3000. Gas, oil, hotel rooms, it all adds up to lots of cash. Especially the extra parts http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/nervous.gif

I would guess that I am around $1001-$2000 a season. *I have never added it all up before though, too afraid too! http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

The benchmark that I use is a buck (canadian) a mile including hotels, meals etc. , but not counting the sled or major repairs . It seems to come pretty close to that anyways. So far this year i'm at 2500 miles so... *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

I am a poor high school student!! http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif *Jk. *I have enough to get by with the high expenses of snowmobiling! *I spend around $1000/year. *This year has been about the same as last. *Eventhough I have only about 400 miles on. *I bought a new helmet, jacket, studs, gloves, and more. *That averages about what I would have paid in gas for a good season! *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif
