I guess I'll need to fire up my black helicopter and fly up to greenbush to kidnap more cougars and drop them in the vicinity of that fan to kill it once and for all.

While I'm at it, I'll tip the rotors to blow more snow down that way.

[Scott Stein]

sounds good i could use more snow!!

[Scott Stein]

[DTro]

Got out for my first ride tonight! Put on about 10 miles.

Boy I missed that.

[catmaster1557]

Put on 36 miles last night. Lots of snow in the ditches. Good to be out again.

[Scott Stein]

cat.. where do you ride??

[MuskieJunkie]

I got out Tuesday night after I put the little one to bed, ripped it right down the street to the Invergrove Hieghts trails. Put on 20 miles, the new Guns and Roses album blasting on my ipod, sled started and ran good, that's just good clean fun right there.

The process for me is the same every year, I stare at my sled in storage all summer and think "I should just sell it, I don't ride it that much, it's an expensive hobby...etc etc" then the first time I get it out and hit that throtle I think "ohhhh...right, that's why I got into snowmobiling, I'm never selling this thing!"

Saw my first trail groomer today

South bound on the west of Hwy 169 in Elk River. Just off of the south bound exit of CR 33.

I do not know what he was grooming, but he was their

Must be getting the trails ready before we get snow.

got my sled out today finally, just some lake running. forcast for up to 2' of snow in the state sunday. I hope we get all that.

[maxx rpm]

I got out yesturday on the lake. I had been waiting to get to the area with the big slabs, and it was fun. Forgot to use the airtight minnow bucket though--a little damp in the trap. Best of both worlds, sledding and fishing.

[WhiskeyPete]

My buddy and I spent yesterday pulling out sleds from storage. We did the once over and then headed for the nearest east/west ditch. WOW! I forgot how much fun it is to plow through the fluffy fresh stuff!!

[Deep_Sinker]

Did some ditch banging in the powder yesterday as well...man was it a blast! I'm sure the drifts will be rock hard soon.
