    Years ago. So much fun if you have the right snow and area to ride. Hope you have fun.

    I was really into sleds a couple of years ago, but have since sold every one of them. We had a couple bad winters and all they did was sit in the garage. But yeah, if there is snow they are definitely a good time!

    My brother-in-law is into them big time. Seeing as we live in PA, and our winter snowfall is sporadic at best (this winter for instance). I can't see investing $4-$7K for the possibility of riding a few weekends a year if I'm lucky.

    I had a snowmobile when I lived in Montana. I was a deep powder and hill climber, no groomed trails. Once I moved back to Ohio I sold it.:(

    we have sleds, wife rides a yamaha 700 viper and I have an RMK 800 .. we havent road this year though, too much basketball with the boys, every saturday and my wife plays volleyball on sundays.. no time.. plus El Nino has us snowless at the house.. we could trailer up in the mountains but again no time.. I feel like selling them now that the boys have full time sports schedules in the winter.. plus I coach all winter
