Super El Nino is forecasted. I used to get all excited to see the calendar change to November and then December knowing we would be riding at any minute. Only to wear out carbides, sliders, and wreck sleds riding sand, dirt, mud, and worse, in December, and early January. Now, I just wait, it will come. Last year, our first ride wasnt until Valentine's day weekend, and we still rode all the way into mid April. Out west in the mountains, we dont even think about riding until the snow depth reaches 40".
Stop watching the farmers almanac telling you it is going to be a brutal winter, and getting you all amped up in September. Get a hobby, get the sleds prepped, enjoy the free time, and not burning your vacation days in December, when the conditions are terrible, and then not having any time left in march, when the conditions are awesome.
You just have to change your thinking... The snow will come. Ski
This was our first ride last year January 28th snow was still kinda thin still turned out to be a great season.

Don’t sellers have to provide used vehicle information packages now? which show if any liens exist? Might not apply to sleds I am not sure. Haven’t bought anything used privately for awhile.
The seller’s package doesn’t apply to sleds . My last few sleds I’ve sold i run them through my dealer so I save the tax on the new ones and the buyer has confidence there’s no liens .

Are you saying you carry it in the container it comes with but then tape the lid? I'm always scared those containers won't hold up. Ive used the MER 30 oz fuel cans, but they are pricey and I don't like that the cap is horizontal when you store in the sled. Seems like it's just one user error away from making a big mess that way...
Yes I do . I have been doing it since I bought my first 850 in 2019 never had a problem it usual gets dumped after the first day . I don’t open it till it will all fit in the 2 sleds I guess that’s the benefit of a 850 doo your not long going though 4 litres of oil lol

Why not use the stackable fuel caddy for oil if you dont need to carry fuel?
That’s what I do I’m usually carrying oil for two sleds . I can also get a 4 litre jug in the small bag behind the seat I just all ways make sure I tape the lid on really well

I bought a stackable one from Precision power sports Sarnia about 6 weeks ago 249 regular 299 it was the last one he had .

No offense, but I wouldn't touch your 850 with 6000 kms in one season......
I want something with less than 1500kms/year. My 2015 Cat has 7000kms. I may just end up buying new.
Lol me ether

Its the resale on the 2 strokes that u take a beating on. If u pile on the km's and you run out of warranty, the value drops alot more than a 4stroke and then your new one costs way more. I love my Blizzard but its got over 6k kms on it now and 1 season of warranty left. Still decent resale. If i keep it another season it'll have 10-12k kms on it with no warranty left for a third season and new prospective owner. I've been pricing out a new n/a 900 just based on the resale benefits.
That’s exactly what Im up against . I try not to put over 6000 Km a year been buying new ones every year but it’s getting harder to move them. Going to try it one more time and see how it goes. My wife asked me this morning if I wanted to go back up as much as I would like to it’s time to pull the plug for the year

We went in from the North to get gas and had breakfast at Wawa motor inn. We came back out the same way across lake Wawa and took trail 5 to the south.I heard it was not good going all the way though Wawa that was last Monday I’m sure it has got worse since .

Congrats 1049. You two are still snowmobilers. I have a grand total of 2100 km and 7 days on my sled this year. Brutal! I may be finished for the season, but if so, I can hope to use my motorcycles more, starting a month from now in WV.
Thanks Tricky . It’s time to change seasons enjoy your motorcycle season ! Looking forward to camping and SXSing .
