Yeah this time of year it is for sure!

Sumers hit 80-90sometimes near 100... but winters drop slowly then stay near 0- low 20s. Two weeks ago it was near 0* then it jumps u tot he 30s-40s. Crazy Winter is bipolar this year!

Thank's but it's not mine, I was using that for illustrative purposes for the Southern members that are not familiar with the term "ditch bangin". I have gone ditch bagnin on a sled identical to the one in the video and I like it so much I almost bought a sled...........then I came to my senses

It was an interesting drive to work this morning to say the least.

Thank's, I feel you pain on the chore I dislike replacing shear pins on snow blowers almost as much as I dislike changing the lower fuel filter on my truck........

It is, I may see if I can tag along the next time my buddy goes. He's got 2010 Skidoo long track powder sled and a 2005 Arctic Cat trail sled with a paddle track on it.

We were on groomed trails so we really didn't need powder tracks like my old Polaris was set up to ride....Due to the kid factor....we took our time and enjoyed the trails.....eventhough I really wanted to hammer them....

That will get old in a hurry for both you and the family. Might even destroy a slacker.
