I spent too much this year. In total about 5K, but about $1500 of that was avalanche gear. I know next year is going to be much worse. Thank you $nowcheck!

Mexico friggen schmexico.... who cares about white sand beaches and pina coladas anyway, lol! Sledding kicks azz over lounging in a chair on the beach being bombarded by people peddling their wares...

Don't care how much it cost us this year- we got all the babies outfitted with their own sleds and spent awesome time doing some honeymoon sledding with Mr. Jeremy8... Priceless :p

Had to decide in the fall to keep the 06 or upgrade, nothing out there that I liked better so let the spending begin.

$3500.00 for complete rebuild plus porting and a new head
$2000.00 for new primary clutch
$300.00 for new ball joints and bushings
$350.00 for better boards and "Cat" extrutions.
$400.00 for graphics (had to, after spending all that money it has to look good too)

FOR SALE... Brand new 06 summit X... with 11,000km whats it worth???
(not really for sale, she's mine for life)

Tam's sled had very few issues, about $250.00 in parts and tons of hours in shop time. (good thing her mechanic works for luvin... Hmmm... may have to increase that shop rate!!)

FOR SALE... 07 summit 600sdi... 8000km What's it worth???
(please don't buy it, it's the reason we can afford to ride 3000km a year)

Cost for gas,oil and belts for both sleds, plus truck scary just to think about!

For all the fun we have and the quality time spent with great friends..... TOTALLY WORTH EVERY PENNY!
