Default Having fun on my new sled...
Went snowmobiling in Cadillac, MI this past weekend. The new sled gets up and goes in a hurry...

If you watch it in full screen it gives you a better feeling of riding.

With that low-azz stock windshield I'm surprised I'm not cold at all when riding.

I learned to ride on one of those. My uncle had one for my cousins (one of which was with me) when we were all kids.

I doesn't feel like your going that fast when cruising down the trail at 70. But when you hit it and it hooks up and launches and you start hitting 85, 90, 95, 100 you can really tell you're moving.

My wife and her mom and dad have done snowmobiling over the pond in Fish Creek WI. I just checked their site, and they say they only have 2-3" of snow on the ground...Seems kinda odd I guess. It's something we really want to go do...I've never been on a snowmobile, but am an ATV junkie. You've got the toys for the season my friend!

This winter's been terrible. They had gotten about 14" up in Cadillac. There was 9" by my house here in IL on Friday then it warmed up Sunday/Monday with rain and melted it all here and up there they lost about 70% of the snow so 2-3" is about right.
