I love the snow. I am a snowboarder so I have to like snow. Riding in it is awsome. Unfortunatley I don't have a quad to ride in it.:(

I love it when we actually get some. Around here they are pretty good about plowing the roads but I usually get a few hours to tear up the neighborhood.

Yea man im in Howard county Maryland, can't wait to ride tomorow. Although it won't be on my Raptor, Im waiting on a lower chain roller and some swingarm bearings, so I will probally drive my brothers Warrior around.

It was snowing around 5:00, not sticking, then it kind of stopped, hopefully we get some more.

dont go fast untill you get used to it... i went out before on my jrd and i locked my brakes up about 500 feet from a stop sign and i slide right through it. i thought i was gonna get nailed by a car

I ussauly let my Raptor warm up a little more than ussaul, other than that I maybe lower my tire presure a little bit.

And if your doing some powerslides, or doughnuts watch out for non snowy or icey patches, you hit one of those and you can flip.

Last of all, get some good gloves. My fingers are the first things to go numb while Im riding.
