Funny how in the middle of summer there is a recurring desire for winter.  So yep, here at the tail-end of July I’m thinking of snow, trails and sledding.

Nothing really to do at the moment except day dream a little, maybe remember a favorite ride, or trail, or overlook.  It gets a person through the hotter days.  This week in the upper Midwest, we’re in the mid to upper 90s.  Wish it was closer to 10.

Well, I know that I need to renew the registration for 2008/2009 so I might as well do that, at least it’s related to getting out on the trails.

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 months.  Without any real winter fun, the incentive to write content here was lost.

I do have high hopes for next winter, and will crank up the content posting we we get into the pre-season.  So hang in there and wish for a prosperous winter in 8 months or so.

I’ll see ya at the trailhead!

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 to everyone reading Snowmoblog as I had planned on blogging more experiences, rides, and trips than I think will happen this year.  I’m working on finding some related content that is of interest to sledding and will work that into some posts through the winter, but as far as blogging a full season of snowmobiling, this is not the year.

It sure took long enough, but we’ve finally got around 7″ at the house this past week.  There have been several sleds out and I can only wish that I had my machines here at home rather than up north.  Hopefully, we’ll have another chance to get a ride or two in the coming weeks – we’ll see, it’s already shaping up to be a busy month.

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.

Check out SLEDtv!

Sorry if you’ve already known about them, but I just found them a few days ago.  Looks interesting, and I can’t wait to see how the site and services develop.

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.
