The International Snowmobilers Manufacturers Association (ISMA) says the average rider puts on 1300 mile per year. There are not many average riders on this board I don't think :wacko: . The last three seasons my annual mileage has increased by 8-900 miles per year, 07-3600 miles, 08 4500 miles, and 09 5200 miles. This year I would like to see a similar increase and maybe hit the 6000 mile mark.

Does anyone else have a mileage target in the plan for this season?

Usually average around 4500 miles. 2 big trips and a long weekend in Quebec, the rest in NY. (snow willing). Hopefully the projected winter forecast will prove right. My all time high is 6000. Had a minor problem, lost my license, and hitched a ride up with anybody going. I rode every weekend. Thank God for good friends! I'm shooting for 5000 this year.

4-6000 with any luck from old man winter!

Hope to make an other 5000 miles this season... It's the Venture dream-meter with 5 season on the clock... :D

With work :wacko: and the family I'm hoping to get 2,500 miles, Two trips to Western PA and 1 trip to Quebec

My highest ever total was between 12 and 13,000 miles. I don't think my wallet could stand that many miles in one season anymore. (Hell, I don't even know if I could stand it). Even doing 7,000 last year was rough. Especially noticeable were the few 500 miles days. Pushed a lot of snow on one of them and used at least a barrel and a half of gas. Somewhere around 300L. I saved the slips at the time but haven't seen them lately.

Soooooo! Mileage aside I hope everyone gets as many miles as they can, but SAFELY. Please ride according to conditions and slow down a little if need be.

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays to everyone.

I would be very happy to hit 5000 miles- every one of em in Quebec

I'm old and my sleds are poorly maintained.......the odometer's never work, so I have no idea how far i ride. Most of the Potatoe Brothers are dopish, hungover, and listless for the better part of each day on the trail, so they never know where we are, how far we've ridden, or where we are going.............. it is difficult to answer your question Steven.

I just hope to enjoy the trails in la belle province/labrador for 30 days this winter. Hope to have the opportunity to encounter a few of you folks as I enjoy the greatest trails in the world, hopefully some of them recently caressed by the careful ministrations of Groomer.
