The Ariens was crazy expensive so Made the wife write the check. I hope it is a slow melt when it comes also, It could get ugly if it melts to fast

Any one know how much snow the Black Hills has gotten this winter? Good snow cover or not?

I live in the Hills and spend a decent time XC skiing each winter. There is enough snow to make for good trail riding, that last storm finally put enough snow on the ground to get a decent base for the trails. But, I would not even think about riding off trail. The north facing slopes can maybe have some OK snow but still endless stuff to hit. Probably a max of 24" in sheltered areas, maybe a foot in the open.

I finally gave up snowmobiling several years ago and just stick to ice fishing and skiing. When you like to ride off trail, the hill ain't the place to do it. When I sold my sled it came with a set of trailing arms, radius rod set, spindles, and spare shock. I carried it all in the truck for day-of repairs. I think now I could ride the trails on a 500 fanner and be fine. But, I'll stick to the skate skis. Cheaper and a better workout.

Tons and tons of sleds around this weekend for the holiday.
