I started one last season, a few months ahead of time, but was so busy this year, I just forgot to do it, so here it is.
22 Days left.
I live near Detroit, and it was 65 out today, we really need some serious temp changes.
Think Snow.

John Dee's say that the longer we go with out snow in November the better off we are in December. So let it get warm all it wants this month, but it better not be in the 60's come Dec 1st.

Better make sure your Rave valves are tight Nick. By the way I saw you on snow trails tv. The filmed a portion of the Vet ride in Seney and there is a quick shot of you from the neck up in the groomer barn.

Will do Sean, Thanks.
I talked with the guy from snow trails Tv at the Novi show, and he is almost finished with the editing of that disc of the vet ride, and they will go on sale, and yes, I will buy one.

How many years you been snowmobiling in MI?
There has been a lot of years like this one before. The last 2 years have started out really good but that's not been the norm the past 20 years I have been ridding. In the UP there seems to be about a 70% chance (if that) of good snow on Dec 1st to ride but in the Lower it's more like 50% it seems to me most years. It's looking like it's going to be a tough year for snow around the Great Lakes this year.

Light dusting last night that is sticking !
I left the shop doors open last night and my latest sled got a little taste of what's to come
Still no frost in the ground but it's cooled down enough for the next dump to stay

I just lit it for the first time last night , when I went to install the ski skins I found some rust on the bottom of the skis , so it's off to the paint booth with them
