I am. This year I added a fancy heavy duty rack. It might make it nice for trapping or hauling a chain saw, etc.

We have good trails around here.

Kinda exciting.

I added plastic skis this year. Wow, are they nice.

Curious if you guys carry liability insurance for your snobil

Rode mine out in my field two days ago just to knock the dust off it. Wife thought I was nuts.

Got a new Skidoo Expedition LE with a 900 ACE, only got to drive it a little in the spring, can't wait for winter. Got a chainsaw that will fit in the LINQ tote on the tunnel, an Echo 355 with a 14 inch bar, will be a lot handier on the trapline than my big Stihl. I keep full coverage insurance on my newer snowmachines, a friend wrecked one of mine years ago, and I wrecked one last year. I put many thousands of miles on mine every year trapping, hauling wood for the church and parsonage woodstove, going to other villages to minister, and the annual caribou hunt.

Fired up my 98 Polaris XLT this past weekend. Swapped storage spots with the lawn mower. Just waiting on some snow to make a few runs around the yard.

Anyone itching to get on the trails here are some grooming photos from last year:

Forever in debt to my Father who introduced me to trapping.
May I be half the man he was.

That trail groomer looks like it would be as much fun as a sled!

Heck yes! I put my SWT through the ice a few years ago on New Years Eve...almost died. Insurance was huge and I bought a brand new Expedition LE 1200 after that. Talk about a sweet ride!

I kinda' miss the SWT though, but I'm not beaver trapping through the ice anymore and the Expedition does just fine pulling ice shacks.

That Tucker sure laid down a nice ribbon...Just got ours out of storage also, and are getting them running correctly. Nothing like Tug Hill N.Y. with an average of 300+ inches of snow a year.

My snowmobile is a 2020 Yamaha Kodiak using tracks. I upgraded from a 2010 Grizzly so the adapter kit includes new drive sprockets, which I had to change out before installing the tracks. At my old age I'm extremely sore today and trying to figure out whether to just install the tracks now or wait a couple more weeks. The trials and tribulations of retirement age, but as my Chiropractor says," you either wear out or rust out".

I have 3 pair of snowshoes that I can wipe the dust off of. I like the silence of the shoes.

Just wondering how all the watering holes on Tug Hill are going to handle the crowds of snowmobiler’s given all of the capacity and other covid guide lines in NY?

With upwards of 10,000 snowmobiles every weekend on Tug Hill, Places like the Hideaway, Milk Plant, Timberview, it’s nothing to see in excess of a hundred sleds in the parking lot on any given time on any winter weekend.

I hate snow. With all my tiny little raisin heart. If I ever need a snowmobile I’m moving farther south

I'm on the west side of the hill,( Worth area ) not many places to stop at over here. Not exactly how those places will handle the crowds, but one thing is for certain, they are coming. I see downtown Syracuse is already improvising some outdoor winter dining areas, to up their legal capacity.

I'm still mowing grass.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.
