How many miles did you get on your sled this season 2022-2023?

500. Local trails were open 3weeks Never rated higher than marginal. Made it up Maine one weekend.
The riding in Pitsburgh/Stewartstown was awesome as of Yesterday. Best of the year. Hard to get gas but well worth the trip. Today's rain will probably be a killer.

I put on probably the last 138 of the year yesterday. Did a little skeg/ski experiment and tested the new seat before I dye it. Trails in the NEK of Vermont yesterday where the best I have seen in 2 years!!!! It was a great bluebird day and a great way to end the year.

Made a trip to the abandoned radar base also. My Father-in-law was stationed there in the early 60's and it is what brought him to Vermont.

1450km finished yesterday, it’s the most we’ve had in a year.Not enough time or trail’s around here unfortunately.

Did about 2000km on the local trails despite a mid-season meltdown for 3 weeks. Another big dump and we were back in business. Mostly lone riding as my riding buddy had a head-on in a blind curve where the other guy was on the wrong side. Hit and run. He wound up with "just" a broken collar bone but his 2018 Venture GT should be fixable. And I couldn't ride more because the river crossings never opened since we didn't get enough cold so pretty much limited to local trails. Still one of my better seasons.

Thank goodness he’s ok!! To many azz hats out on the trails now. I call them entitled snowmobilers. Same azzholes you deal with on the highway.
 
Pretty much anything central and North is still in amazing shape. And we have a monster snow storm brewing that could drop 2-8" this afternoon. Mother nature is a dirty W#$%#
And now, there is a line from Sioux Falls, SD to Duluth, MN. Everything to the North and West of that line is gonna get shelled over the next 48hours. We have 9" in the forecast, and Fargo will be over 12" of fresh with blizzard conditions and 2ft in the Black Hills of SD. Mother Nature, she knows it's April as usual.

On a brighter note, we did pull off 80 miles yesterday. Our Garmin GPS's show a green backdrop when on State land and we ripped the trails yet again! Amazing day and amazing to find that the trails are in perfect groomed condition from all the clubs hard work last week. Ready for a foot of fresh so that we can go bombing it over Easter weekend! WOO WOO!!

Even this tubby little guy was enjoying 40 degrees and sunshine. Great to see a live one, let alone in the daytime!

Awesome!!
 
2,004 miles total. The county in Wisconsin where our cabin is didn't close on March 31'st like the surrounding counties did. This allowed us to get more riding in over the weekend (legally). The trails were great but not for long with the warmup coming.

Hi there, I'm new kid in block! ;)
730km @ home (Latvia)
~190km in Finland
Second season for me, this year about 13 days ride (weekends only). Most of time we need to drive ~4h to east of country, to get decent amount of snow. When we drive, we do ~60-90km on Saturday and 30-50km on Sunday.
Could drive locally, but no fun driving solo and too dangerous.
Riding snowmobile really is lot of fan and our team of enthusiasts are growing. :sled2::sled2:

Awesome!! Welcome to site!!
 
Awesome!!
And here is 72 seconds of your life you will never get back. This is a quick summary of the trail conditions in the first 30 miles before lunch.

I am very proud to say, I will take 40f and bluebird skies over 95 and humid any day! I have 8 minutes of this unedited if anyone needs a dream track to help get through the summer. Let me know if you need it posted. Your answer may change come June.

Looks so inviting!!
 
3300km between my '22 S-TX and my '23 T-Cat. Not as much as previous seasons, but much more than expected given how the season started, and that we had to trailer every weekend since our lake was never staked this winter! (normally we are spoiled and just cross the lake to our trails - so easy!!)
