new to snowmobiling

got my first sled this winter - 1991 phazer. nice machine for playing with the kids in the yard but not enough speed on the trails with the others i went riding with. so i'm buying a 1994 ski doo formula Z w/ the 583 RAVE motor. Now all i need is for some snow to fall. I live along lake michigan in mid-lower michigan.

i hope to be able to use this forum to gain as much knowledge as possible about the sport.

thanks

its saturday afternoon and we got around 10" last night! unfortuneately its roughly 40 degrees out now so its melting fast. being new to this sport, i'm not sure how good it is for the sleds to ride on this sloppy stuff so i haven't chanced it yet.

i hopped on the phazer and rode it around the yard. didn't take long to get down to grass. we got pretty low temps last night so maybe it froze a little more. probably try it again when i get home after work today.
