How much money do you think you spend on an average snowmobiling weekend getaway? My wife and I have been discussing the "cost" of the sport and I was curious what other families spend to support the sport. Thanks *RB http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

For a 700 km weekend, about 120$ can. * That covers the gas, oil and lunch. I sleep in a tent when I'm planning a 2 day ride so it comes cheaper then going at the motel.

I couldnt possibly say because it depends on where im going or who im going with, somtimes $100 or somtimes $500 but i think the norm is around $200 give or take a little.

For both the wife I, we spend about $5-600US *for a very comfortable *weekend riding fri sat and sunday in canada. It could be more depending on where youre at. Theres no doubt snowmobiling is expensive, my wife has never once given me any grief over any sled expenditures. We buy 1 new sled a year, taking turns getting the new one. With the losses taken on the sleds and all of the other costs involved Id guess I spend between 5 and 8 thousand per year on snowmobiling. I know people who spend that on country club memberships.. jwhat a waste IMO.

AC u sleep in a tent what r u an eskimo.lmao.

depends , *if it is a trip to west yellow stone, or just a weekend of dnoemobiling at the hunting cabin, *ect, * what ever the * price it is worth it.

No, just a crazy SOB * http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif * Especially when it&#39;s -30 http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/exclamation.gif

I spend about $340 to $380 every weekend that I ride when heading up in Northern Michigan.

Also normally when i go on an outing we stay at a cabin because me and all my buddys have cabins somewhere out on the trails.

Us guy&#39;s never take the family [they tried it and hated it] so between 3-4 of us spliting truck gas and motel bill and riding all day fri. sat. and 3-4 hours sunday about 2-$220.00.

I think that I&#39;ll end up spending 12 to 15 grand this winter including 6K to build my project how I want it, and a trailer and alot of out of state trips.

I think the 200 range is a good guess even though I stay at my buddies camp on moosehead lake for free. that is just for me but the count starts when you walk out the door at home till ya have http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif *to come home.. * jeff in nh

i thought this subject was going to be moved into the top ten lies but everybody is honest so no need for that.

*i drove 6 hours to sudbury with my 15 year old son and spent $660.00 for rooms food and gas after 2 nights stay. one day out of that we went 350 miles.

Too Much http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

I live in a smowmobiling area and operate a sled shop, so it&#39;s just the gas burned at night on weekends. Shop is open all day sat. open sun. till noon. I usually close on thurs. when the trails are all groomed perfect, normally 4-8 of us go ride from home for 12-14 hours.

$350.00 for a 3 day trip

$500.00 for me and the wife. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Between $200-$600 if it&#39;s just me and the boys and that depends on where we go and if it&#39;s me and the wife it&#39;s $300-
$800 and that also depends on where we end up and how much riding is done http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/nervous.gif

AC, you&#39;re the man! *Sleeping in a tent in CA, that&#39;s crazy.

Here&#39;s my best guesses:
US trailering from home - $50-$100 per day
US staying in hotel * * * - $400-$500 for the weekend
CA staying at lodge * * *- $800-$100 for 10 days
All US dollars

3 years ago I was able to go to Quebec for 7 weeks. I stayed at the Holiday Inn, in Jonquiere. I figured I spent $5,000 and rode 7,000 miles. When I had my place in N.Y., I spent that much maintaining it,(fuel, electric, phone, taxes, *up keep) and what it cost me to go drive up every weekend. Then I had the pleasure of riding rough trails. In 2001 and 2002 I was only able to go for 5 and 4 weks. This year I hope to get back to 7-8 again. Next year, it will be longer, I&#39;m retiring. Then I can really get some miles on.

The groomed trail is about 5 minutes from my back yard. My famly has a camp on the main trail about 60 kms away. Gas and refreshments are the biggest expense. $200-$300 is a real expensive week-end, under $150 is the norm. Moving back to Northern New Brunswick was the best thing I ever did. Now if I could just get it to snow 10 months in the year... *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

I live 1 mile from a state trail that runs just North of Grand Rapids all the way to Cadilac then from their to Houghtion Lake *in the lower part of Mich. Our cabin is just out side of houghtionlake in Moresstown . It takes about 4.5-5 hours to get their on sled. We leave Friday night at around 7-7:30 between 50.00to 70.00 dallors in gas per sled 50.00 per person food (dont drink) come back Sunday afternoon. Trip is 350-400mile on a average weekend. so i&#39;d say about100.-130. As long as nothing breakes down

$200 to $300 canadian for aweekend getaway!!!!

If it&#39;s me and the guys,I spend 150.00-175.00 *If it&#39;s my family300.00-400.00 . * * * * RB http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
