That's all for now. Got a ton of GoPro footage I'm going to make a video out of later. Trip was amazing from beginning to end.
That's looks like an absolutely fantastic trip. So good to see that you're involving the kids. I was in Hayward last Thursday-Sunday. Northern half was hit and miss (mostly miss), but the Southern half was pretty good.

Some awesome sleds in here. I trail ride a 08 Crossfire 800, generally in the northern Wisconsin area. My other sled is a little less practical but a hell of a lot of fun.
We run the snow outlaws series with it. Cat 1100 turbo base with Hypersports super stroker motor, pro-line suspension, precision 60/62 turbo, VP import. All the snow series races are 500ft where we have been 143mph. Sled makes right around 680-700hp.

Blue bird day today. Pushed through little devil's basin in WY on the Continental Divide. Man, we live in an absolutely majestic land.

You guys have crazy snow. I got back from Northern WI on Monday and rode on dirt most of the weekend. Had to buy ice scratchers to keep my sled from overheating.

At one point I pulled over as my temps hit 180. My buddy saw 207 and kept riding!

Not a bad way to end the day/season. Sled season always goes by way too fast, but this year was a pretty good one. Haven't put that many miles on in a season in quite awhile.

Started out with a trip with the fellas, got our kids involved and on a couple trips, and ended with an awesome trip with my sister and brother in law.....2 trips to the Keweenaw.....now that I think about it, this season might have been the best one yet. Incredible memories....very blessed. Counting down the days till next season already

Just put my deposit down on a 2019 Expedition Sport 900.

I need a sled that can do it all. Trail ride, run 2 up, break trail and and tow a sled.

So glad I waited. Almost bought a 2018.

19 has updated G4 chassis, RAS3 front suspension, new seat with quick release backrest, new pdrive clutch and up 5hp to 95.

First new sled since 1992!

Good stuff! Sledding is fun with the boys, but with family it's awesome!

Most snow here in years. Someone said 13 feet so far.....

I'm going up to WI this weekend. Originally to put the sleds away for the year and get the SxS ready. But looks like we may be able to get in some really limited riding.
