Hi guys, it's Zach and Scott in the Adirondacks at Big Moose lake having a great time on the sleds. Last night we got three feet of snow. It doesn't get any better than this.

We got back safe and sound. I had some of the most treacherous driving I have ever been in on the way up. You literally could not see the front of the truck. By the time we were into it, it was too late to turn around and I couldn't see to find a spot to turn with the trailer anyway. That part was not fun at all. The truck did fine on the roads, you just could not see anything. Going at about 20mph or less worrying about running off the road was not fun at all. The drive back was not much better...freezing rain, sleet and snow.

Other than that, what a great time. Out on 187 miles on the sleds. Believe it or not, it's a workout. I am sore and tired, but we were riding through a couple of feet of some really nice, light powder snow. We don't get that often up here in the North East. It made the driving all worth while. We didn't take too many pictures, it was to much fun, but Zach has a few that I will get from him.

That's great Scott, I'm soo jealous!! I hear you on the workout part, there are some pretty technical trail sections around here and I've been sore after a 30 mile ride. I only have 300 miles on my 2005 sled which I've had since new :( I'm really leaning towards selling it. I'm trying to weigh the sled vs an atv with a snowplow vs a used Nissan Titan...

Erik, you got to get out there and ride that thing. I've put more miles than that in a weekend. Come up north with us sometime.
