Looking like near perfect conditions. Good to see you all enjoying yourselves. That's the way you do it..

@@curtiscollins2174 We had fun! The young guy on the blue Summit 850 was sledding for the first time outside of the few corn fields in Indiana. The other guy that mainly rode in front of the camera had not been since he was 18 or 19, he is now 52.

I'm not too old to ride, but I'm too old now to ride and ENJOY it for more than a couple of miles. I'm happy to see some winter return to Michigan for the first time in awhile. These snowless winters are unprecedented in my 71 years. Enough so that it took Arctic Cat down. Many may be surprised to know this isn't the first time Arctic Cat has ceased production. They were also bankrupt in the early 1980s, and didnt build sleds for 2 or 3 years. I hope they come back a second time....

@@milojanis4901 I started riding in 1978 on a John Deere Spitfire, watched them quit the market, Arctic Cat and Yamaha now is not good. Competition drives innovation so I hope they come back.

I’m turning 60 and I quit in 2021. Arthritis and neck problems. I’ll ride through watching your vids. Cool falls where is it? Swap subs with you. I’ll push the button. I got a few snowmobile vids. I read the description. Mich up.
