A little long and kinda boring, but if ya watch to the end there is bonus footage of jr getting stuck and me getting irritated

Was waiting for the "Sunofabitch" at about 11:47

:lol:
"Don't gun it!!"

That just looks fucking cold.

That powder is giving me a boner

Not bad

Never stops snowing up there does it.

Not this winter, not here anyway. You go 10 miles north to nrew's house and there is half that much, lake effect seems to hit us heavy a lot

We got another foot this weekend too

Getting stuck looks like it sucks a big one. Fuck snow!

We have probably a foot on the ground here. Probably 18" at the cabin. The little warm up took about a foot.

We've probably got 20 inches on the ground but nothing has melted since November, just packs down a little before the next snowfall.

Way too much snow.

What year were your sleds did you say? Also, going up those hills along the power lines (6 minute mark), was that all the beans it had? I ask because from the sounds of it, those ride like my dads 87 jag 440. It's a night and day difference to my 96 indy's. Wish I could make it to Michigan to go sledding this winter

One upper.

looks like a blast.

John, you should have rode my old sled, that thing was a rocket! Part of the reason I sold it too!

jr is on a 1984 polaris, I'm on a 92 jag, both 440's. Flat gunned up that hill, there is not much base, just powdered sugar kinda snow, 2-4' deep, all those little guys can do to stay on top, would be nice iy have a little more aggressive track, these have touring tracks and it's getting to be a little much for them. Jr and I both want new ski doo's but they a little pricey

I have a 2001 MXZ 700 and bunch a friends have the newer Ski-Doos and it isn't worth the extra $10,000... get a 2001-2004 700-900cc and she will do the trick.

I want a etec600 in the rev-xs frame and r-motion suspension.

Problem is if I bought one it would never snow in Michigan again

Unless I was out in the mountains, I would never get a sled bigger than a 600, too much weight and not enough power gain. I'd shoot for a early to mid 2000 500-600, the 550's are a mean sled for all around.

Sounds like either way you still win

The only thing I don't like about snow is plowing

My 700 with the right track would crush a 550.

Keep your eyes out for a older used one. I have a late 90 MXZ670. Just under 4K miles. Needed a couple new bogey wheels, but got it for $800. Put $200 into it and haven't had a problem yet. Awesome little sled. Lots of zip and power.

Oh we're racing now? In that case, im getting an 800. Im talking for all around sled that will ice fishing, climbing, ditch banging, powder puff, the light 550s will do more than that 700 will. Not to mention you weigh what, 130? Jehler is pushing 210+. (sorry john, rough guess)

Hey! I'm down to an even 200, the "+" really stung crut
