What kind of season was it for you?

i would have to say it was challenging.i had the worst luck this year but the manitoba ty ride and some new people to ride with and it ended up to be a great season,1200 miles which is turning out to be an average year for me.but the fun factor was definitely high. :rocks:
 
We had a good year; 1475 miles, below what we usually ride , but still had a lot of fun. Seemed everywhere we rode it either rained and/or had mild temps. Buddy and I each turned 68 this past year and our APEXS
turned 10,000 miles To celebrate 45 years riding we both Spring ordered new Vipers. Test rode them @ Old Forge NY and won't have top end like an Apex , but great handling and ride. Going to be a nice change.
 
Was an excellent season for me. Logged roughly 3000 miles and the kids and tubes got about 20 of them miles.
Experienced my first TY Ride. Had a great time meeting fellow members and making new friends. ;)!
Had the opportunity to experience different trails.
Broke more parts this year than any other year. :o|
Took my youngest on her longest sled ride to date. She still talks about it. :Rockon:
Came home safe and sound after every ride and no tow ropes were used.

I had a pretty good season, miles were low but for only four weekends of riding 1060 miles isn't so bad. I made three TY rides and must say I had some great times and met a whole lot of great people. Looking forward to another good year next winter.
 
Good season for snow around here for once. Only managed 60 miles total. 30 miles on my rx1, still having alot of carb problems. 30 miles on my new to me 11' Nytro that I picked up 2 weeks ago. Winter is done here, last of the snow just melted. Sort of worked out with my rx1 problems b/c I didn't really have the time to ride like I thought I would
 
It was fantastic year for me. Did one trip to northern Wisconsin for a short weekend. Then a first for me, 4 day saddlebag trip right from the front door and managed many days riding in my home and surrounding counties. I managed ~1800 miles on my Vector without any issues and that includes the sliders (~3400 miles on them). I also managed to drive the groomer once this year and I'm looking forward to doing more next year.
 
Absolutely amazing. Bottomless powder every ride and sleds are working 100%.

2800 km's mountain riding so far, and still two months to ride.

:sled1:
 
Still going strong here in western Newfoundland! This was this afternoon...



Pre-Order Special Edition All White Viper.
 
Overall good season considering the slow start. Broken exhaust system was the biggest headache other then tinkering with all the new stuff I put on it this year. Made it to one TY ride. Was able to put on at least 200 miles during the week nights all of march right from the where the trailer is parked! Logged around 3000 miles :sled1: Not bad for all the other non snowmobile related stuff that ate most of my weekends during this winter ;)!
 
Best snow in a long time! Manitoba was great. The TY was awesome! Saskatchewan was a blast. Last ride was probably this weekend from the house! Hard to get to the trails now but they are still in great shape. Last ride on Saturday buddy stuck his sled in knee deep snow! Course it used to be waist deep! Last couple of weeks its been on a steady melt!

Few more rides yet till I call it quits. Best yet is the New sled was flawless and I did not have to change sliders in 2,800 miles. 3,308 miles so far this year!
 
What a difference a month and a half makes

Great snow March 20 on Gogebic Range Trail Authority Trail 160 .... Junk on Jan 29 Gogebic Range Trail Authority Trail. They are out of Ironwood. I'm a 4 year sledder. Best I've seen in those 4 years once it started to snow and groomers did their thing.

I agree with you guys best snow i have seen in about ten years. We put on 1700 miles in MI both upper and lower wasn't able to make last TY ride because I ran out of vacation Ihope next year is this good I will plan better. Look foward to seeing everybody next year already. Have a safe summer and see you on the trails next winter.
 
Wasn't the best here in WNY but if you were free when the snow was around you could get some great riding in in the right areas. I only managed 800 miles due to a busy work schedule but between a few local rides and 2 trips to the Adirondacks i enjoyed every trouble free mile with the new Turbo! Time to convert over for grass drag season!
 
Only 1 1/2 Months of Riding

I did not ride at all in December or January for the first time ever due to poor conditions. Riding only in northern Wisconsin I managed to get in some excellent riding and the final mileage was 1,910. Last year was 2,200. I did not hit any bad trails. I hope we get a November snow next season!
