Alright ... so during the winter months , what do you guys and gals do ?? I know some of you are lucky enough to have 80 degree weather all year round , but for some of us the snow is going to fly sooner or later . Hell it's almost the end of August ... snow should be hitting the ground in about a month and a half up here .

Here's what I do during the winter ....

1. I do quite a bit of ice fishing ... I love being out on the lake in the winter .

2. Snowmobiling .... Hopefully this winter I'll be riding a new Ski-Doo REV 600 .

3. Every weekend me and the buddies usually hang out at our Ice shack . We built it last year and it can fit about 10 full size guys no problem .

4. I watch a lot of hockey . Every Friday night , my dad and myself go out to the local arena and watch out town's junior guys play ( level before the NHL) .

So lets hear what you do !!!

It all depends if you like sledding or not . Some people don't enjoy being out in the freezing cold and cruising 70 mph which just intensifies the cold .

A few questions to ask yourself ...

Are there enough trails in your area ??
Do you get enough snow ??
Are you willing to trailer if needed ??
Do you have others to ride with?? cuz riding alone sucks .

And winter is when all the big parties hit around here...
cold weather = nothing outside=party inside!

Also like to go snowboarding

TheFontMaster
08-16-2005, 09:52 PM
I snowboard....alot. I will make 2 or 3 trips up to vermont for a couple days at the begining and end of the season, nothing like being able to snowboard in jeans and a t shirt and still be too warm. Around here I can usualy ride untill the end of october to mid november untill it gets too cold. O and I love snow storms in a 4 wheel drive truck, get me on a field, and you will see a full sized truck going through a field like those ricers do on a drifting course.:blah:

Yeah We still ride in the winter it takes a couple of feet of snow before we can't go out. Winter riding is awsome when the snow is all packed down!

I go snowmobiling in maine and ny state. There is nothing like ripping down the trails at 100mph. Yamaha Rx-1 warrior does the job nicely.

Any recommendations for a trip ?? We might even do a cruise so that we see many different places. Who knows .... as long as it's somewhere that I don't have to wear my snowsuit and can kick back and drink beer I'll be happy. :devil:

Me and my friend and brother set up a snow track between our yards and it's pretty cool. snow jumps, banked turns, all that stuff. It crosses our road into each others yard. Roads are fun in the winter when they are not plowed because you can slide on all the turns.:cool: I love riding in the snow. Untill you get stuck.:o

Hit up the NEMX indoor track with my freinds, ride outside with numerous layers of clothing on. Do alot of stupid stuff that may cause injury, and take apart my 400ex for the 1200th time and powedercoat somethings and tune it all up for indoors. I hope they have indoor races this year, last year it was only practice.

Ride my snowmobile, work alot of O.T. Do doughnuts on my quads and trike sometimes also. Winter time is always fun, you get to see alot of things and go places you normally can't.

every winter i find an old set of tires with barley any tread, either from one of my riding buddies or on ebay, and i stud them up and pull my buddies around on a sled behind the raptor :macho

do alot of dumb stuff, make crazy snow jumps, and just screw around in the snow with a bunch of layers on...there is always something funny/dumb/hurtful to do in the snow
