Well I think my title sums up some of my past couple weeks with my sled. We are pretty low on ride-able snow here in western Wisconsin... and that goes for most of the Midwest I presume. I have had no guilt leaving the sled on the lift and getting some work done on it. My recoil spring broke so I had to master the art of the deadly recoil spring. Those things are pure death traps, and in my opinion a terrible design. Luckily, I got it back together and working... but now I need a longer cord for it. I also finally ordered a truckers mud flap which I ever so carefully cut to use as my snow flap. I have heard great things about them and am so far pretty impressed. (see pics) It cost me an entire $16 shipped. The sled is in good running order, except an exhaust leak which is bothering me. I may need a new donut for between my Y-pipe and main pipe.
Remember when I was talking about the UP this weekend? Yeah, that fell through. There is actually a lack of snow up there as well... which can't be said often. However, that will soon change. There is a plan to go up next weekend. Take a look at the snowfall outlook from John Dee. (below) I'm all smiles.
Yes - your eyes do not deceive you. It says 24+ by next Friday in the pink areas... which is exactly where we ride.
