I've always been fortunate to be able to ride from home. When we lived in NH I did have to wait for the lake to freeze to access the trails. Here in VT I have access before the lakes freeze, but I can miss a bunch of crappy trails once the lakes freeze up. 

Can you ride from home or do you need to trailer to ride?

 

I can ride from home, we just don't get the local snow like we used to.

I've always been lucky to be able to ride from home. Even when I lived in my apartment in Thompson I would ride to work. I just chained my sled to the parking lot divider in my assigned parking spot during the night. Had to sled to work for 3 months before my truck was finished at the bodyshop after being t-boned!

 

Northern cities are pretty sled friendly

I had a trail that left right from my back yard to the provincial trail.. 
 

They have been clear cutting those woods for the last 2 months... I guess ill just have to watch for stumps. trail should technically still be there .

You can ride from anywhere as long as you know 'the call'.

 

Yep.  Current status. Nice having the ability to see whether we have good snow or not when I’m not at the cabin.

Well apparently I can ride from home at my new place. Just meet a neighbor who was riding his sled down the road and he informed me I can ride the trail at the end of the road and hook up with the main trail. I had thought it wasn’t allowed because it was a nature preserve. Best Christmas present ever lol.

Yep it was a requirement when looking for a house . Who in the fuck buys a house you can't sled from if you are in to sleds ? 

My bud sells a lot of houses just out of the metro and shows up at showings on the sled all the time he says you can see the guys smile from the end of the drive and it is almost a Guarantied close

Another reason to be a active member in a club.  Most of the active members get a fresh groom as close to there house or right to it when in the neighborhood .we call them by the guys name like be sure to hit the Tommy trail when you are out that way it has been a bit 

Nope...gotta load drive to PA or Ny. unload and ride. 1.25 hrs to be on trail. Kinda sucks but, I use it as an excuse to get away!
