I have noticed a trend here in our area.. Times have gotten tough (economically speaking) and a LOT of my old riding buds are out of the picture.. This year seems to be REALLY different here in West Michigan with the sled count WAY down.. I wondered if it was just here in our area or if it is happening everywhere, so I thought I would poll you guys...
Thanks for your "votes" and feel free to comment..

Having a good job and income is defintly needed for snowmobiling. The trail fees, insurance, maintenece, high gas prices all adds up and snowmobiling has become a very expensive sport. I worked 12 hour days throughout the summer and then from dust to dawn through the fall just so I could afford to go sledding. The combination of high cost and low snow is causing alot of people to get out of the sport.

Economic problems ? But, but, but George Jr. said due to that 15 dollar tax cut he gave you the recession is over and economy on a roll. Must be true ??? Isn't it ? No? OOOOHHHHH !!!
