Well, Like the title said. With the low amount of snow we have been getting here in the thumb of michigan, How much should there be before you ride?

RJ Gleason

Since where I am, we usually have only a little snow, I will not go unless there is at least 6" on the ground.

well we finally got a little but it's only about 4-6" of the fluffy stuff? But I just got my sled and I'm itchin!!

Juice

Well last week we had 4 inches and I rode in it. It was wet and after about 6 passes I was wearing out the snow. Snow was real wet. For the first few passes it was business as usual. I discovered that dirt=slow . No damage but its not the same ride.

Where's the snow?!?

JDS

I ride my EXT whenever there's enough snow to keep it cool, a couple of times this year with less than an inch. Course it's 17 years old and has been rode hard. My newer ones don't see snow with less than 4 or 5 inches.

around here, they wont open the trail until theres at least a foot of snow. ill drive around the backyard on only 2"-3". i live a few miles from a few big fields, so ill load the sled in the truck, bring it to the fields and ride around on 6".

I'll ride green if im desperate but its expensive for long runs. 4" around the yard to neiborhood quick runs only. really what ever i can get away with with out ruining the sled once the dirt starts showing im out.

I ride whenever ther is enough to cover the ground good to where im actually driving on snow. Even though i can ride 8 months out of the year last august after i got my machine all fixed yp for the season i just had to rip around a few times.

I would'nt ride in the little bit of snow we have here in caseville too fluffy I tried dug into the dirt!

TheBackRoads

i don't have a standard to drive on, but my skies were slightly digging into dirt, but mostly riding on ice, the last time i rode. My temp gauge was a little high, but she was consistent so i kept on.
