Platinum Contributing Member Shifty Posted March 20, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 20, 2021 Nice final ride of the year. My brother put a stud thru his heat exchanger and I finished the season towing a skidoo. Typical. Almost 100 miles in Pittsburg before the ski don’t tapped out. Conditions were excellent, traffic was low. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Rolled into camp late last night. Conditions look fairly poor although we are going to head towards some honeyholes that should still have plenty of snow for one last ride. Gathering up our gear and headed home tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than 4K. Sad thing is he just dumped 2g into it, after something major broke and took took out the chain case and various other tidbits. Poor guy has the worst luck with sleds. Just awful. But he runs old iron. This 08 was the newest sled he’s owned and the first “ rider forward “ chassis.he loves this sled. The heat exchanger is fucked up.

When a chain goes it can definitely cause some damage. Ask CKF about that after he waited 8 hours at a restaurant for us to ride back and send the truck down to get him when his broke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were one weekend shy of 6 months of sledding that year i have only had 2 years with 6 month season. One started in quebec for thanksgiving and ended up in NH in April. One started in NH in December and ended up in NH in May. I still have my sled ready to ride if we get a mid april dump. Since they won't plow the roads a 12 inch dump would make for some good northern NH western Maine road riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never ridden out your way but any time you can get in six months or close to it is a good season. I think, had we made the trip to the Upper peninsula more often back then, we could have extended our seasons a lot more. But there was decent snow in the lower and we were renting a cabin around Gaylord so we stuck around the lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through a bunch of years where my sons basketball limited the end of the season to early to mid march but before that I was always up for an early or late season ride even if it was a 3 1/2 hour drive each way for a day trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in Covid and not being able to get into Canada, and it was kind of disappointing but we did get some good rides and got to play a little in the offtrail. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late start to a very short season Two years in a row now the groomer by me never left the barn until mid to late January. At least this year when it did hit it stayed good for 5-6 weeks. Last year it went from really good to really bad so many times because of the warmups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
