Cold weather items will be last to convert. Range drops too much in cold, battery resistance rises so performance goes down. It will come tho. Prob in 5 years we'll start seeing them
What's etiquette if it snows like crazy all night? Are you supposed to wait for trail groomers, or do you just get on the trail whenever you want?
I haven't been on a trail in over 10 years, and never with my own snowmobile. Never ran into a situation where I was planning on going on a Sunday morning and it was expected to be in the middle of a snow storm.

So basically it's ok to be on the trail, and you just pull off if you see the trail groomer coming by then hop back on after they pass?
Got your Wisconsin safety class certificate if you are born after Jan 1st, 1985? Law enforcement will be out especially around the border. Groomers will be out for sure after a fresh snow fall. STAY ON THE TRAIL. It might be hard to see it at times especially if you are one of the first guys out. If its snowing obviously you have decreased visibility issues. If you come across the groomer pull to the side so he can get through unless he stops and waves you by.
Make sure your sled is registered too, not sure if insurance is mandatory but it's a good idea. I've also heard about people getting loud exhaust tickets. Would a speeding ticket on a sled count as a moving violation that goes on your driving record?
Yep, got my registration and trail pass. Actually don't have insurance, but to your point.... probably a good idea. I'll have to call my state farm guy.
I don't believe there is such a thing as a speeding ticket on a sled. Unless at night.
I have Progressive, its 175 a yr but I have an 02 700XCSP, so it's basically for medical coverage only
Dude I got pulled over back like seven years ago and dude wrote my buddy a ticket for not enough reflective material on his sled
God damn with conditions getting worse fast up north every hour or so you got some karen on a Facebook group. "hOw aRe THe tRAiLs?!?" Fuck man The northwoods has had light snow cover all season. With exception of Mercer area, no other area really got any decent snow out of the last storm. Its also been warm and sunny for over a week. How the fuck do you think the trails are? We are also in MARCH now. I swear these people gotta be fucking first year riding newbs or are to lazy todo their own research. It does not take a rocket scientist to follow local snowmobile clubs in areas you ride and watch the weather. Most clubs update daily. I also ask the question. What is a good trail? A trail with snow on it? Yeah that's always good. Easy to find out of thats the case by following the weather or looking at snow depth charts. A trail that is smooth? Kinda fucking hard to predict. You can ride a fresh groomed trail out in the morning and come back in the evening with moguls. Conditions change FAST. Especially when its warm out. Use groomer tracking apps or follow clubs that actually post what trails were groomed the night before. Then if some fuck boy says "TrAILs aRe rUFF" you gonna stay home? LOL I get not wanting to spend money traveling up or on lodging but shit. Take chances and lower your standards. Being up north is also better than being at home.
