Ice Out would be July

So if you like the winter
Buy a new Sea Doo
And if you pray for Summer
Buy a new Polaris too

Guilty as charged. I traded in my two Ski Doo's for two new ones back in November.

Oh boy that's rough!
My poem is a true one.
Several of my friends bought new 2016 sleds.
Just think...you'll have a brand new sled to look forward to riding next year.

I say, gently, you poem makers better watch out...Hallmark may come looking for authors for a new line of greeting cards.

I knew the day I put the plow on the truck and everything worked ( first time in years) and the pto shaft lined up perfectly for the snowblower on the tractor that this winter was doomed!!

#1 son - new sled
#2 son - new sled
Dad - new sled
Brother-in-law - new sled

That's a WTF...

Some might say this winter's nice,
with winter short and springtime twice.
Yet for this warmth we pay a price:
another truck gone thru the ice.

I'll take some of the blame too, new sled and trailer. At least I got the sled broken in with the little riding we did.

I just knew that when my wife and I got new skis, boots and poles and seasons passes to Gunstock that the winter was going to be dismal. I will say that Gunstock has done a pretty good job with snow making and grooming.
