Snowmoblog

It seems fate keeps looping me into the sport (luckily).  There was an opportunity to pick up a 2005 Polaris 550 Classic with trailer for a pretty good price.  That the sled had 770 odd miles on it was a further bonus.
Sometimes I have to hand it to my wife for finding these deals, but [...]

Oh, nothing at the moment.  If you check the post below, you?ll see it?s taken me almost a full year to post here.
The original idea of Snowmoblog was to simply blog about my favorite motorsport: snowmobiling.  So much for making that work out on a regular basis.
So I?m coming back to this blog this autumn, [...]

Have a fun and safe celebration of our nation’s birthday today!

What a disappointing season, I never even got my sled out of the shed this winter.
This post is just an update to let anyone know that there will be minimal postings over the summer months.  There may be a news item that gets linked to from here, but will mainly remain quiet during the summer [...]

So far, this winter has been a disappointment.  There has been little snow to go sledding and there is much less time to get north to even attempt it.  There may be a weekend later this month, or into February, but I’m beginning to think it won’t happen this year.
I feel the need to apologize [...]

 
Here’s wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

Yep, still no snow in the Minneapolis and St. Cloud, MN areas.  How disappointing is this?  The real question that everyone has is if we’ll even have a white Christmas this year.  The forecast for the next week is not promising, hopefully we’ll get a little bit just for aesthetics.

Here in Minneapolis, its been a long time since the last snowfall.  While we didn’t get the precip that was forecasted today, its only a matter of time.  The wind has that certain feel about it.
I wish a good riding season to all, and envy anyone whose already on the trail.

I want to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving.  We’re taking a break over the next day or so, but we’ll be back later in the week with more news and stuff.

Craig Medred writes in the Outdoors section of the Anchorage Daily News about how large and heavy our modern snowmobiles have gotten.  He also remembers times gone by when a Ski-Doo Elan could ride through the deep stuff without the kind of back-breaking labor needed to free a stuck sled today.
Good read!
