I decided to go up to TUG HILL today in NY to get in my first ride of the season before the rain this week washes all the snow away. Although they have not had any major lake effect snows yet this year, they have received about 18" of snow spread over the last 5 days. I put about 90 miles on my 2005 RX-1. Trails were in very good condition. Weren't to many sleds out. The only sled I came across also had a 2005 candy apple red sled just like mine. Stopped and talked awhile to him. He also has a new Polaris Fusion, he has put about 150 miles on each sled. Says he likes the fusion alot, but it does have alot of vibration compared to the RX-1. This gut also had a 2004 PRO X2, a 2004 Rev and a 2004 Warrior last year. Must have more money then I have. The southern part of the hill had more snow then the northern area. About 8-10" of solid packed snow on the area around Highmarket. If anyone not from NY wonders where TUG Hill is. Take a NY map and locate Syracuse, Utica, and Watertown. Connect the triangle and you have the Tug Hill area. The part in the middle of the triangle without any roads through it, is the main part of the hill. Looks like rain this Friday for the shoot-out,

Couldn't really tell if the suspension is better then the warrior because there weren't any bumps yet. Still has ski lift in the corners. Doesn't push as much in the corners as the warrior. Accerleation seems about the same as I remember the warrior, but I really didn't push it much. I haven't put the ECP kit on yet that I took off thr Warrior. Only took it up to the century mark for two little quick bursts. Seat conmfort is better then on the Warrior. I guess time will tell how I like it. So far so good.

Did you launch at Highmarket? How was the C'ville area? (I have a camp there)
We go through Westernville quite a bit when we do a Penn Mountan loop.
Are there any places to eat besides Halfway House?

Gordon, quit posting YOU'RE REALLY DEPRESSING ME 
Seriously though I hope to get up there within the next two weeks if the snow comes back to get some break in miles on.

wolfie. One of the easiest places to unload is the Quick stop mini-market/ gas station on Rt. 26 in Constableville. This would be about a 40 minute drive from the thruway exit in Utica. However there wouldn't be any snow left by this weekend!
