Anybody been snowmobiling yet?
 
Looks like I'll be heading out this week or right after Christmas. I'm done with school in one year...I might be looking for a job further up north to support my hobby :-X03

Still waiting for more snow. Long track with 2" lugs dont like the shallow snow...

We need a bit more snow too. I think I'll be holding off until after Christmas. I have more of an "intermediate" track on my ZR, a 136"x2" track, and the same on my Polaris, only the lugs are 1.5". I just serviced them both today, I miss smelling the old two-strokes during the summer. I'm almost ready to go, just need to service the old pulling rig. :)

Got 24" today and will probley get 24" tonight. Looks like we will get around 30-50" over the next few days so I'll be taking the machines out for a ride this weekend.

Ouch! :-rip

Last year was a great year in the Central Idaho mountains. But, this year appears to be off to a bit of a slow start. Good thing is that the weather guesser is calling for storms next week. :-bigparty

Nope I haven't gone yet heard Petersville has snow now but no base.

Went today for a short ride with my son on his 120. Really cannot go to fast but we do have enough snow for trail riding. I would stay off the river bed for a little longer until we get a few more feet of snow...

We have gotten some good storms the past couple of days and a couple of good ones are coming. Looks like my first outing of the season will be this Thursday :)
