Ok so just bought a used BV2S helment to replace my entry level Scorpion EVO helmet. Anyway it came in the mail on Monday, so tried it on and stuff, plus doing a little work PM on the sled lately. Of course that night I went to bed and dreamed of the white stuff and sledding ! Its only May !!!! I also find myself when it rains converting the rain into snow ? Thinking...Hmmm if this was snow this would be a heck of a good snow fall!!! Is this normal ?

I have only been sledding a few years now and really look forward to the snow in the winter. God I hope and pray for good snow this year ! If I could only justify a new sled !!

Even though snow was slim around here for this past winter I had the best year ever with trips to the UP and north lower in March.

If you display any of these symptoms seek help from a mental health professional immediately!!!
I did but it still didn't work, I have these symptoms as well. Next year can't be worse than this year so all we can do is wait and hope.

Not yet - still riding for another month. Still lots of snow, plus we got a foot of fresh yesterday.

Spring riding means - jumps and big air shows

No they don't pay me to ride it. just lucky that I know some people that know some people. We get snow early and it stays late - so we get to keep riding and do testing - feedback on the prototypes.

I day dream about it all day, even worse. I've taken up fishing again to distract myself.

I wish I knew people who knew people, heck I wish I had your riding season Irondog.
Can't belive I'm saying this at this time of year, but ride safe and have FUN for the rest of us!

IronDog is special. He's been working at this for years or maybe decades is a better choice of words.

He lives and dreams snow for probably 9 months out of a year. Alaska would be a pretty sweeeet place to scratch the itch or realize the dream.

BRP has quite a few well respected dudes out dooing testing on prototypes. From what I have seen, BRP is starting to pay attention to the special needs of mountain riders even though were are a small portion of the big picture (the numbers of trail riders in the east are huge compared to our little segment).

Doo I dream......not much but I surely wish I was 20 years younger and could perform some of the manoeuvres that are so common...............but hell that's what videos are for right!!!

Dam I watch a lot of videos............

april 23/24 an hour north of me got 1.5 ft overnight . took the sled to work and snuck out at 4 . rode 6 k of drifted rd and ditch . two part trails until i hit swamp and a no winter maintanance rd . the trails had 3 ft drifts it was a blast . put on 63 k (on the sled, 200 k on the truck ) and got home at midnight . first ride of the year was an 11 hour drive to kapuskasing the week before christmass. so yes i know how you feel . 3rd week in dec to 3rd week in april -not a bad year for an ontario sled head.
