Who's got SNOW, we got SNOW ! !

waynev · 12-08-2010, 08:14 PM

Wow, haven't had a snow day in awile, got to stay home and stayed busy shovelling yesterday as we got record snowfalls in the last 2 days. In my end of town we got about 85cm ( 33.4") and 20 min north of here they got 153cm ( 60") of the white stuff, funny part is 30 min west or east has little or none.

I am pleased to say that the last of our white $hit is melting. Indeed I got a nice ride in today. :P

That said I'm glad you like it. Have fun!

I'll try and get some sledding pics and vid this weekend.

Sledding looks like a good plan as you'll not be using your picnic table for a while!

Is that what that is? I thought maybe the rear end of an old Model A Ford Tudor.

Do you ever ride on lakes Wayne?

I have, but i prefer to stay on the trails, i'll leave the lake racing to the big sleds, my sled is only a 440cc that makes about 50hp so it's better suited to the tight twisties in the woods and i also love pounding the drifts. I'm also happy to say that my sled is a one owner sled, me, since 1993, the speedo broke at 6000mi but i bet there's well over 12000mi on it.
Well got 2 more inches last night and more snow is forcast for this weekend, can't wait to go sledding this weekend.

Good thing TO didn't get it; they'd have to call out the Army again :roll:

FastDoc · 12-09-2010, 11:42 AM

We's love to see pics of your sledding adventure.

440cc.....

Kawasaki based? Jet Ski type motor?

I'd stay on the trails too. I've watched some lake racing, and it looks insane. The sport that tops that for craziness is motorcycle ice racing. Control is nothing but an illusion.

Doc they are similar, but its the other way around. Jet Skis were derived from snowmobiles.

440cc 2 stroke with a CVT belt drive. That would be considered a small sled. Still plenty of power and lots of fun.

Could be polaris, skidoo, yamaha, artic cat.

waynev · 12-09-2010, 01:31 PM

Yep, the sled is a 1994 Arctic Cat Jag 440z, it is a suzuki 2 cyl 2 stroke engine with twin 34mm Mikuni carbs and a CVT tranny, it is oil injected so no pre mixing is needed.
It's supposed to warm up to 2c tomorrow so that will be good to help pack the snow down, it's much more fun jumping the drifts then plowing thru them when the snow is too fluffy.

Jim · 12-09-2010, 08:20 PM

I'd like to have about 2 times that much snow

Then you need to go 20 min north of here, their up to 177cm (70") of the white stuff, and that's only in 4 days, more on the way for this weekend, yeah! !

MICRider · 12-10-2010, 07:30 AM

I gotta ask Wayne, with that amount of snow in a fairly short time frame, you must have a big snowblower?
