After seeing bladeguy's pic i'm now totally ready for some snow.
Lets post some sleddin and winter pics to help the itch until we
get winter :) Here is one from a few years ago.

:thumbsup:

Another

From last year

Last one for now. Also from last year.

Had to run to town for a beer run.. Had a little trouble getting the car started.

This one is from Up by Big Bay, MI... Before it started snowing :D

I don't know if looking at all my sledding pics is scratching my itch or intesifying my desire to see some snow!....

Nothing better than wakin up and seeing some fresh stuff on the ground :D

Here's one,

I can't get anything done at work, I keep looking at these photos

Here's another one of my brother.

Sorry about the size of the last one.

They are both from the same day.

We got up at about 5:30 am on a sunday after a rather large dumping of snow.

We from Magnetawan to Port Loring and back on a good 8-12 inches of fresh powder and we didn't see ANYONE at all.

Best ride of the season.

If muskokadoo can name where this is i'll buy ya a beer at ace mc'cools :)

:thumbsup:

Sorry, wrong season.

but that's what the weather is like here on OCT 2.

Its getting depressing.

FishHog

Hey UPrider I hope you had enough beer to get thru the rest of the winter being that stuck with the car. :doh:

And another you should recognize as well Dan

I&#39;m gonna have to be planning some trips up to the great white northern wintery cold snowladen paradise also known as Canada. AWESOME pictures. SWRules

Rollo D motoski, Happy belated B-day! :D That pic from the A108Q is sweet. I&#39;ve never made it all the way down that trail, as Crazy b&#39;s 98 machz blew , a connecting rod let go and shattered the case :0: coolant and metal hunks everywhere. We only made it about half way just after the BIG straight stretch. I had to tow him back for 70 KMS > I was dragging him off trail at 80kms+ to get slider lube in the powder . He said it was the wildest ride of his life,lol

Before they seen snow, my departed edge pictured here. ???

OK Rocketman, how do you stay on the thing with the skis pointing straight up like that?

maybe.. hes not on it and he just wont admit it.. maybe he fell off and the sled has a mind of its own! :sly:

One more.

They don&#39;t call me the Rocketman for nothing ;) :devil:

This is what happens when your friends have too much free time on their hands, and you leave your sled in their care. The sled was supposed to be in the shed, not on it! They suggested I just wait for snow and drive it off, but with the winter we had last year, it would still be there!

Darn Uprider mabey you should have stayed on the trail that day, what did you hit?? It looks like you hooked a tree. :doh:

I DID stay on the trail.... but my sled didn&#39;t :angry:

Yep, it hooked a redpine, and all I could do is watch. Oh well, I&#39;m just glad I didn&#39;t get hurt.. the rest is just plastic and metal. It&#39;s too bad, too cuz i really liked that hunk a junk.

look on the bright side ! you got a nice new edge the ride over that tree :D

I wont be able to hit that tree anymore.. took care of it with the chainsaw this summer..... it was very theraputic. :D But you are right Dan, I was able to put a nice downpayment on an edge with the insurance money. so it worked out ok in the end... its just not a triple, thats what I loved about the XLT :inlove:

that tripple was nice but the look of that edge :inlove: I bet you had a hard time choosing between the red or blue ?

Actually it is a 2001 edge, and I bought it used off of a guy who was having trouble making payments. But I wanted that Blue/Yellow snowcheck like nothing else. I just couldn&#39;t pass up the deal I found on a one year old sled.

its amazing what 1 year does to a sled value :D lots of great deals on 1-2 year old sleds..saving thousands $$$$$$

Yup. That&#39;ll probably be the way I go. With where I live, and how often I&#39;ll get to use it, I need to make it as cheap as possible.

Actually, I&#39;m honestly curious. I still remember how tough it was to hang on the first time I pinned the throttle on the Mountain Max. How do ya stay on with the thing vertical like that?

Just hold on to the bars rrreeeaaaalll tight and try and keep your feet on board. :0: LOL

Let&#39;s hope for some of the white stuff!!

Yeah...actually Wolfman, PHazerhater is right. Just hook your toes in and tense your upper body. Never actually thought about it before :p

Another one,notice the doo isn&#39;t the one broken down :p

OK, after that throttle pinning bit with the Yammi, I had thought that I hadn&#39;t braced myself properly, and was thinking that I should have adjusted my position closer to that of one of those crotch rockets.

If I&#39;m ever gonna be able to try stuff like that, I&#39;d better get myself into better shape. Right now I&#39;d probably just dump myself in the snow. :0:

Just go for it thats how i learned, after you fall off a few times you will catch on, just make sure you doo it in alot of powder the first few times. :D

Hehe, I&#39;ll have to wait untill I get to places where I can do this without getting into trouble. Methinks the rangers at Yellowstone would not be too happy with me for trying there. ;)

You never know, I know a ranger who loves doing things like that :D

Is easy Wolfman. Do pushups and crunches...maybe some grip excercises...then its no problem :p ;)

Maybe so, but in the case of YNP, there is an extreme difference between rider ability. Many are on sleds for the first time riding along with those who have ridden for decades. Add to this the fact that bison find the trail a really neat place to lounge and travel. Then for a finisher, toss in plenty of places where if one gets even a few feet off of the trail, serious burns can result, and even falling through thin ground, or long drops that are normally marked by guardrails during the summer. I strongly believe in the necessity of the rules within Yellowstone, and obey them strictly. I&#39;m even one that would quickly report anybody leaving the trails or harassing the wildlife. I want to be able to continue to ride in there. There are plenty of places to try outside there once I get my sledding feet back to where they should be. :D

This is from Bear Notch Road in the NH White Mountains in Dec 01. I was going to sell this sled and get a Rev but now I&#39;m keeping it.

The sometimes not so good part about winter

brother-in-law

That blizzard-like day is so awesome...hope we have a lot of days like that this year. :D :D

february 2002 in Colebrook, NH

hotel

Here&#39;s the wifes ZR2K.

Here&#39;s my first sled. I sold it last year after my ski found a metal pipe in a drainage ditch. If you look close, you can see that the A-arm got pushed back about 6". New 900 on the way for this year.

Here&#39;s a better one of the damage. The dealer put a new front end on it and sold it. Not sure what he got for it. Insurance didn&#39;t want to total it. I got $2900 to fix it. It was a 98 ZRT 600 with 1500 miles on it. I sold it to the dealer for $600.

Heres a couple with my old sled
