Smile New rider from So Vermont

Hi all
I've got just two years of riding experience under my belt and am here looking to expand my knowledge of snowmobiles in general. Was an automobile tech for 35 yrs and now retired and looking for insight on the maintenance and repair of my sleds. My SO and I have rode 1999 Polaris 500 XC's as our first sleds. I just purchased a Ski-Doo Grand Touring 600 and am looking forward to trying the touring experience this year.
Here's to lots of snow and a great season!!

Riding in So Vermont

I usually can be found on trails around Harriman Reservoir. Whitingham down to Mass border and up towards Wilmington, Mt Snow and Woodford too.

I will! We should hook up for a ride sometime. Be careful on Harriman's if you fall through the ice it's a 10-20 foot fall until you hit water!

Sure...we could meet at my friend Jim's house where the trail crosses the road onto Lake Sadawga. I'll bet you've been through his back yard before.

Sounds good! I happen to be very good friends with a Jim in the area. He's actually right in my neighborhood in Woodford Lake Estates. I don't want to expose his last name, but it starts with H., do you know him?
