I have had more than one sled with a 2" track dude. Had a 2" on my 03 rev 800x and 2" attack 20 on my m7 etc etc. I cut them all down because they absolutely suck on the trail and they dont hold up to any trail miles

 

Mebbe you missed my point... I thought you were in deep snow country.  Lummox only trail rides 5% of the time nowadays.  I can't get enough of offtrail... and it will be that way till I can't do it anymore.... then its back to trail riding.... with an 1.25" track

The thought of riding a 2" inch track makes me cringe ......I would quit sledding before that

Its a lot of fun once you learn how to do it.....

Trail riding is fun too... but didn't you buy a cabin in deep snow country?

Ignorance is bliss... there is a fair list of things i used to find odd, till I realized (and learned first hand) there was a good reason for the things ppl do....

-Long tracks on the prairies

-High end snowmobile garments

-Backpacks

-Brightly colored sleds/clothing

-Gopro's

-Groomed trails

There are a few things i still can't understand

-Alcohol while riding

-Loud cans

-People

Christmas day storm was not a bust for us....  went riding it today... best snow i've ever ridden.  Bluebird -8C day.

They're talking about him on the radio here but not playing his music. Kinda odd.

Pretty sure he's remembered as a pervert.  Kinda like playing reruns of peewee herman if he died.

...and once the balance is struck, and the plane is in trim, ie, not falling, not climbing, it will happily trace a circle around the earth.

33cm or 13inch last night

 

park the car in back of the truck, so spent 45min trying to get the car unstuck at 7am and drove the GF in the truck, lots of stuck cars and trucks all over

 

Why the hell didn't you back it in if you knew we were in for a blizzard last night?...  derp. 

You posted maps and everything!

Not sure but why are you answering my question with questions 

Why do you assume there is an edge? 

Let me ask you this why do planes not continually adjust altitude to account for the curve of the earth? When I flew to Vegas we reached our cruising altitude and maintained it for over three hours perfectly level. Why didn't we fly out into space? If the earth is curved the nose should have to be constantly adjusted. 

 

The answer is, they do.

The reason you say the plane is 'level' is because gravity pulls at your inner ear, and you can tell if you're not perpendicular to it....  gravity pulls from the center of the earth (and since the earth is a circle) you and the plane feel "level' when you remain perpendicular to the globes center.

If you began to fly off into space, you would feel like you're climbing, as you'd be un-level with the center of the earth.

Merry Christmas indeed....  at least another foot and 40mph winds on top of carve friendly snow

....so if we're stationary (because nothing flies off) and its the sun and moon that move so quickly, why doesn't stuff fly off the moon then? 

....no spin because toilets.... 

Antarctica is 7000+ feet above sea level, and there are no other land masses around....  the arctic is a foot above sea level and surrounded by land.

The crap in this video aren't facts, that's why nobody teaches them.

Thread fail.

Merry Christmas

Yeah? You gonna melt your gold down into little $5-$10 pieces? And walk around with a pocket full of gold coins? If you are saying the guy you want to buy food from also has everything else that you want to buy then there has to be some type of goods or service you would have to barter for because I really dont think there is enough people walking around with a pocket full of gold to buy stuff with. Certainly not enough to create a monetary system with.

We have been indoctrinated our whole life that gold is valuable. That diamonds are valuable. But really there isnt much you can do with gold. Diamonds have industrial applications but really all this stuff is, is jewelry. So if there was no central monetary system gold is really the last thing I would want.

without gold, no technology...the demand for gold is skyrocketing due to the phone you're typing on.

If gold isn't valuable, i wonder why all the gold in the US was confiscated, and exchanged for paper.....

Very interesting history   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102

That's kinda what I'm saying. People are going to want food and supplies, not sure what you can do with gold. Without an agreed value and money system gold is worthless IMO. I'd much rather have things that would be in high demand food, materials, guns/bullets, fuel, etc... That stuff will have value.

So what do you give people who have the food, materials, guns and bullets that you want?  Gold. or the poor mans gold, silver.

The main part is, the gold will survive till after the crash, concentration of wealth, and rebuild.

Tin foil hat on:

Thing with precious metals or any other physical asset is, they retain their value even if the fiat currency doesn't.

Has happened a couple of times in recent history.  The $100,000  cash you have in the bank may only buy you a loaf of bread, but the $100,000 of gold you had stashed, will still be worth 50,000 loaves of bread.  Its the downside to having paper money backed by nothing.

...and speaking of a global crash, physical beats paper in any scenario.

Tin foil hat off.

whats wrong with buying gold?

...just because you haven't gone to the mountains yet......and i've never been......

They are calling for another foot on the ground by boxing day in Southern Manitoba...  This winter is shaping up to be the best year ever.

Got 3" overnight, supposed to get another inch or 2 by tomorrow....

Lets hope everyone can ride by the new year.

-20f at sundown.... nobody has time for thumbs...

This is the trail out to the trucks.

$100 sounds about right.

For that price, you could afford to take it out once a year for a joke.

Why should I have to buy a trail permit if I dont use the groomed trails? 

Should only have to pay to play, but $40... worth kicking that in to keep sledding alive in the area....

Add a bit of snow and ice, and the stupid thing will choke itself when throttling up.  What an abortion.  Ariens quality has gone downhill over the years.

Ariens platinum SHO and hell yes it has auto-turn!  Love it.  Just got done cleaning up what looks like about 6-8 inches.  Sledding season is right around the corner!

 

Can't tell... this years model?  Just got one.... not impressed with the throttle/choke combo on a fucking co-axial ROUND DIAL!  And the metal gas tank is 2" deep and holds mebbe a quart of fuel.

Why these engine manufacturers cant leave well enough alone.....
