Will gas prices affect how much you snowmobile next winter?
Well the title says it all, will you go snowmobiling less this next winter with higher gas prices?

Nope. Same with cars and boats. Like stated above if I can't afford it, I'll just cut back on other stuff.

Before we sold our 15' runabout (boat) last year we would sit around and wonder how the guys going across the lake in a 22 plus footer with a small block or even a big block could afford to push gas thru at a gallon a minute! Then we realized, if they can afford the boat the prolly can afford the gas to put in it too.... just saying, we have the sleds, we will definitely find a way to ride!

It may slow me down a bit, but I'll still ride. Not as much as last season though.
