I've always been lucky enough that when I want to go quading/ski-dooing I could leave from home. In Newfoundland I could go all day without ever crossing a road. In sudbury I had 1 minute of road and I was on the trails. Now I'm a minute on the lake from the A trail and countless miles of cruising.

How about you?

The trail runs right by my house but I have a trailer and pickup to. Its nice to go riding some place different every so often or when there is no snow at home.

If it jams, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.

I don&#39;t neccessarily trailer everytime I ride, but I do have to drive to the sled. I keep my baby at the cottage 1hr 20 mins. north of me. When I&#39;m there I ride right from the door. It would be nice to be able to do maintenance on it during the week, but not having to trailer every weekend is much less stressful. I tow a landscape trailer 8 months out of the year, so I don&#39;t mind trailering, I just hate getting any bit of salt on my sled!!!! An enclosed trailer is definitely high on my wish list, even if it only gets used a few times a year!!

right now i live with the inlaws while we are getting our house setup and going. To get to the trail we go across the back field. When we get the house set up, the trail will have to be moved a little or i am going to have sleds running through my front door. I love it
