    Anyone snowmobile?

    Too cold to camp in Minneasota but that’s why we have winter toys. We just got 10-12 inches of snow not to far from us so we are getting the snowmobiles out for a test run tomorrow. In two weeks we will be going to northern MN, Rainy Lake area (the other side of the lake is Canada) for a few days of riding. Then a week after that another snowmobile trip. Can’t wait until camping season arrives but until then always hoping for more snow!

    Any other snowmobilers in our GD family’s?

    We snowmobiled for years before we retired. Once we retired, we had no further use for them because we head south for the winter. So, we sold them. Kind of sad to do that but the reality is we won't be home during the winter any more.

    2011 Polaris RMK Pro 800 and a 2007 Polaris 700 Dragon.
    That 800 pro is one of the funnest machines I have ever rode. I'm sure the new ones are even better. Need to go riding! Snow is getting deep now and we have a pretty good base, just need to get them out.

    We snowmobile when there's enough snow. We usually have to trailer for a couple hours just to get rideable snow.

    Not a snow mobiler yet, but I love riding motorcycles and ATVs. We are moving to Idaho around summer time and am hoping to be able to get into snow mobiles out there.

    Bought my first snowmobile when I was 16 years old, it was a John Deere 400. Whenever I lived where there was snow have had one until a couple of years ago. I was also one who did trail work and put up and took down the trail signs and was groomer operator for about 20 years. Over the years I rode mostly from the house but did take vacation trips to NY's Tug Hill, Wyomings Greene River area and to Heber UT. Arthritis in my back and hips finally made riding too painful so I gave up the snowmobiles. Now that I have retired we are snowbirding so not doing anything with them now.

    Snowmobiling was one of my favorite things to do growing up! A good day was getting about 200 miles on. When I graduated from college I told myself I was going to be one of those guys/gals that bought a new sled every 2 years. I bought a. 2000 Polaris 600 RMK. Yes I wanted a "mountain " sled for riding trails here in MN. I took it out west twice. Sled ran like crap even though it had ACCS. It was a decent time but I realized that the mountains were no place for me. 2 years after I bought the RMK, I bought a Pro X 440 fan to have for a fun little trail sled. It was nothing but problems. Had many dealers work it fix it. It was such a finicky sled. I never bought another sled after that. I got rid of the Pro X but still have the RMK. MN winters have sucked here seemingly for the last few years. I only use the sled for pulling the kids around of heading out to the lake to ice fish. The DW doesn't care to ride and the kids are too young yet to go so I only manage about 20 miles a year. I always look at new ones every March but there's no way I'm spending $13k on something I drive 20 miles a year!

    I had a 2000 700 RMK ACCS also, didn't work very well. I took it off and jetted it for the altitude, ran much better. But for you going from low altitude to high to ride would require changing jets all the time. Real pain. We also had a 340 fan that was finicky. Cold seized once and after that never ran right,even after rebuilding the motor. Best thing that ever happened was going to fuel injection on these sleds, no messing with jetting. Our usual day of riding is around 60 to 80 miles but most of that is off road in the boondocks and by that time our fuel is getting low, not to mention tired out!

    Not true snow mobilers, we rent once in a while, not the same as owning.

ID:	17285 I have been snowmobiling most of my life. Now that I am nearing 60 I have found and built old Bombardier snow coaches and now I just warm the rig up, hang my coat on the coat hook and go for a ride.
