And thats a wrap on the 26 Season for me.      Sleds washed, stabilizer added, everything winter related inc snowblower, sled lifts and carts jammed in the trailer.    Even washed all my gear today!    It was a great season albeit with a few hiccups.      Dirt bike is home waiting for the Simcoe County Forest trails to open on May 1.        

I stayed at the Studio 6 in Hornepayne on Wednesday, the burger and pizza place is only open Thursday, Friday and Saturdays.    We went to the Home Hardware and bought M&M meat pies from their freezer and cooked them in the room.   Breakfast was minimal, cereal, bread and strawberry jam, coffee and nothing else Bought a Hornepayne Snowbear Beanie to support the club. 

Slight warm up coming, a bit of rain in the forecast but, no real damaging day or night time temps long term, yet. Cold and even more snow in the forecast. Guessing like our summer to winter switch at Halloween,  our winter to summer switch will be fast and furious. Also Guessing since there is close to 40" of ice on the lakes, rivers, it will be tough for the fly in outfitters to open ice free, by May's long weekend, unless we have a drastic change soon. Time will tell. Ski

I'll say it again. Setup is the difference between "oh shyte" all day and "whoo hoo" all day. Being wore out after a few hundred miles or ready to keep going. I figure 90% of riders I come up on in the trails are riding ill handling sleds. I always wonder why they dont take the time to learn. Confidence in your sled makes snowmobiling so much more fun and gives the rider confidence in their ability. It's all "win win"

I agree setup makes so much of a difference - when you have the chance to jump from sled a to b, it is normally quite the difference in trail manners.  Speaking of noises, I finally used music this year while riding, what a difference, been meaning to use it for years and finally did.
