I got up at 6 and started riding just came in to warm up and get some hot cocoa.I rode the 300ex first it did awesome!I only got stuck once and that was on a frozen over creek.It was low on gas and I know my little sister will want to ride it.So I started riding the blaster it does ok but spins alot.You just have to keep it in a higher gear to get around then normal.

Might get the 250r out later!I didn't think the neighbors would like the sound of that power core 2 at 6 am!

Well I'm going to kick up some more snow!

Well it is now point less to ride!The blaster goes nowwhere fast.It was doing good until the snow got deep.Right now we got about 8 inches and it is still snowing hard!I know the 250 won't do any better either though.

Screw the snomobile idea. Quads are fun as heck in snow. So what if you can't hit 120mph, they are still a blast.

I'm sitting here waiting for the sleet and freezing rain to stop before I get out to ride.

Yep, Snowmobiles do us a whole lot of good the 2 or 3 days a year (max) we have enough snow to ride them on.....

Gabe, was it really cold there? I drive snow plow for MN/DOT, nightshift, road temp at 2am was about 4degrees. I am not sure what air temp was but it couldn't have been too far from that. Supposed to get into the mid-upper 20s fri-sat, might try to get a little riding in then provided it isn't snowing (gotta make the money when you can). Anyhow, try to stay warm.
