This is my real first year of hard core snowmobiling! My Wife has been doing it since she was a kid.
I love the pictures! I learned how to Snowboard on Mt.Bachelor back in 1989 before it became BIG! Great Mt. ..........

The first time was 28 years ago in Eastern Oregon on a 240 and 350 Exciter and Enticer. I rode for a few years then and then moved to Roseburg. My husband and I now have rode for 4 years. While I enjoyed it back in the old days, it's nothing like it is now! I ride a 600 Switchback and he has an 800 RMK.

5 years there are trails?? hmm better find one:)
i have been sleddin for about 2.5 years. I went out one time with my wife and her parents before we were married got hooked bought my own sled and havent been on the trails since. my father in law has been riding for years so I had to learn from him. and he hates the trails.
let just say the first thing i got good at was getting stuck and getting un stuck!

I've been sledding from around the mid 80's. We needed something to bring firewood and supplies into our cabin during the winter. I got hooked on sledding so after a few years moved up to some bigger sleds and it hasn't stopped.

Started riding sleds in Meacham Oregon in 1981 and it was a Ski-doo 340. It was a mean of transportation to get to the school bus back then. Then I quit for 5 years becasue the ex wasn't into it, got rid of him and got back into riding and haven't quit since. Sorry but my sled comes first. Today I ride a 08 600 RMK Shift that is now a 685 from Carl's, and if that's not enough, the happy button is going on.
