Looking forward to the season... Studded two of our 3 sleds last weekend. 142 studs in the 800 Dragon, and 120 in the 600 Indy. Also changed the oil in the chain case, changed the plugs, adjusted the tracks, lubed up all the bearings, checked the belts, etc. Looking forward to some snow!!!

Made a call to a friend up in Vilas County, and there's talk of the trails opening next Friday  - hope so!  We could use a good year!!!

I woke up the Indy XC this morning from its long warm weather slumber.  It's nice to hear it purr again.  Just need some of the white stuff this year.

Last year at this time I had already purchased our trail passes.  

This year I'll be waiting for the trails to open!

Sayner Barnstormers getting the trails ready!!!!! How cool is that

Looked at new sled pricing (as I had 8,000 miles on my 2016 800) and was way more than I was looking to spend..

Had my 800 completely rebuilt, bottom end, top end, new studded track, new clutch, new main bearing, new slides, carbides, pretty much everything.  About a 1/3 of the cost of going with a new sled!  

Looks like this year will come together snow wise, so hopefully we'll be out sledding soon!

I used my snowmachine quite a bit to pull my ice shack this winter.

I almost never get a WI trail pass, but sometimes get a UP trail pass...not this year.

Fortunately, I never did buy my trail pass.  I would have the moment I could have gone (and carried the online receipt with me until actual sticker arrived).  But, we never got the snow, so I saved the $20.

Anyone else buy trail passes and renew their registration and have the sleds never leave the garage?  

lol, my trail passes are still in the envelope they came in!

I was walking on one of my favorite Vilas County snowmobile trails 2 hours ago.  Very bleak looking....no more than 2 inches on the ground and little snow in forecast for next couple of weeks.

I renewed our sleds and purchased trail passes a few weeks ago thinking it would certainly snow in Vilas by February!

Looking like I should have held off lol!

Sure hope the northwoods gets some snow soon!
