Poll Results - How Many Snowmobiles Are In Your Household?

We had a great turnout for the poll last month. Thank you for voting! On average there are 2.7 snowmobiles per household based on the number of voters and the info submitted. Here is the final tally:

#Sleds   #Voters
    1             2
    2            14
    3             4
    4             9
    5             1

This means that everyone who voted each needs to go find a final .3 of a machine so we can all have three whole sleds. I'm not fond of riding partial sleds...they don't seem to run that well. Reminds me of when they break and are not whole.

Thanks again for voting. If you have a poll you would like to submit, send us an email or leave a comment.

Poll Results - New Year's Resolutions

Our latest poll asked what your New Year's resolution was when it came to snowmobiling. Sixty-six percent (6 votes) wanted to learn a new riding skill. One person (11%) said to not break their sled this year (smart voter). And two votes (22%) were honest enough to admit why bother - they can't keep 'em any way.

Thanks for voting. A new poll will be up shortly.

Poll Results - What Was Your Worst "Stuck"?

The results are in and a majority of poll respondents like to ride off-trail. Say what!? That wasn't the question. Ahh, but if it is taking you a couple of hours to dig out from your worst "stuck" then you aren't on a groomed trail. Three people apparently stay on our nicely-manicured trails with one rider having a minor whoopsie and getting slightly off track; and two that are perfect riders having never gone off trail (or maybe never been on a snowmobile--hmmmm). Good news is that nobody lost their sled.

Here are the final results:

a) Dug it out in less than 10 minutes	1 (7%)
b) Took a couple of hours to get out	10 (76%)
c) Recovered when snow melted	0 (0%)
d) Who me? Stuck? Never!	2 (15%)

Thanks to all who took the time to vote in the poll. New poll will be up shortly for your voting pleasure.
