January 2022 Pictures!

Post by MnLakeBum »

It's only about 110 days until the R5 goes back in the water!!

Let's see your winter diversions. I'll go with sunrise this morning on a very chilly day here in East Gull Lake, MN. After not owning any for 35 years, I bought Ski-Doos this week, so they will be a fun diversion to make the winter go by a little faster. They weigh 477 pounds and have 165 hp for a top speed of 128mph, lol. My son and I will get our speed fix in out on the ice. :lol:

It was an impulse purchase as my buddy had a 2020 for sale with 249 miles on it and a 2022 that they had ordered along with 4 other 2022 sleds this fall. They didn't like the color, so they ordered an all-black one to replace it, and I bought the ugly grey one at a discount. I saved about $3k over anywhere else on the pair, and MXZ 850s are difficult to even find right now with Covid supply issues. Before buying, I didn't check with my wife and was scolded a bit. Her quick forgiveness is priceless.

They are already ordered and I do thank you! I’m going to wrap it in something from this company. I like black with red accents. :D

Yes that will help. Also please don't ride or even move the sled with the tether hanging there. Our owner did that and went over a burm and hit the throttle a bit and the tether went in between the throttle to wide open and crushed the rails as it landed on its tail. He pooped his pants. Hey if you need anything use https://skidoogear.com/
That's us. 👍

Love those pics! I have a buddy who lives in the Keys and I’m heading out to ski with him and some other old friends/neighbors next month at another buddies condo in Kings Beach. We had a condo next to his for over a decade and it will be good to be back in Tahoe for the first time since 2018.

Thanks for the heads up on the tether and skidoogear.com, I'll check it out as I'm sure there are a lot of accessories that I need but don't about yet. Kinda like boating. :D

Skiing was awesome last few days.

We need some more new snow though.
