Conditions have been perfect and I have been lucky to ride to work everyday this week. About 15 miles one way on my Nytro and around 12 miles with my truck. Anyone else able to ride to work?

I used to be able to when I lived a little ways away. I would ride my SRX too and from. It was actually faster to drive my Snowmobile to work than my truck. Only thing is that doesn't count getting dressed, undressed, and warm up time. I would do it now but I live 5 minutes from work in town. We'd need one helluva Blizzard for me to drive down the highway.

I occasionally ride to work, mostly fridays. Its about 34 miles one way by trail ,17 by truck. My wife asked if I was saving money on gas and I had to laugh and say Nope!

Yeah I like to think I am saving gas on my truck since it hasn't moved since last Friday but it just goes in the sled. Lol

I can and do at times ride into work....but my drive is only 2 miles.......takes to long for the Vector to warm up and be ready to drive or I would drive in more often!!!!!

I've started riding to work once a week, 74 miles by trail or 66 miles by car and that is one way!

I can ride to work also. I live on the trail and it goes right by work. 26 miles one way, 18 by car. Crap trails here and it takes 45-1hr. Thinking this year I can cut it big time as there is a river I can ride 1/2 way there, usually it doesn't freeze enough but lately there's a lot of sleds out there and it is....FAST!!!

Im about 12 miles from work by sled, about 3 miles by truck. I have yet to ride my sled to work, been there 2 years. Funny thing is when I started this job I was stoked because I could take my sled to work, lol
I work at a dealership, I guess after all day talking, selling, sleds last thing I want to do is get on one!

i have a similar situation. by land it would take me way too long to get to work but the river across the road from my house goes past where i work so 10 miles of my 15 mile trip are on the river(have to hop off the river and run land in a couple of spots). very cold winter this year so there is alot of ice. if i couldn't run the river i wouldn't ride to work.

I rode to work once when I lived in NH. Was fun having the sled parked outside my school classroom. Kids thought I was cool for a day.........

There are no roads to my workplace, so the options are small airplanes or snowmobile. In other words, I only use the planes when there are no snow. 60 kms each way, in monday, home thursday. Nothing better than to drive the Apex off to the weekend!

I have been riding in off and on all winter. It's about 4 miles in the truck or 8 miles on the Nytro. On the way home sometimes it's 30 miles on the sled.
