I don't know who your carrier is. Mine is State Farm. My sleds and everything is covered under Homeowners if damaged in (God forbid) a house fire. Also, my trailer is covered under the same policy as my truck, if it is my truck doing the pulling. I have to carry additional ins to cover the trailer and sleds if being towed by another vehicle. I also carry ins on the sleds, atvs, bikes for if they were to be damaged while out riding them. So I guess it differs from company to company, or it pays to have been using the same carrier since you were 15 1/2. State Farm lifer here. I get some pretty smoking deals since Homeowners, Life, Auto and retirement policies are carried under one Company.
thought this was a snow conditions thread
OK. It's been dumping for three days straight up there.
Looks like all snow and no sun in the forecast! I gotta say I wouldn't mind 1 bluebird day this winter. I'm not bitchen. I'm just sayin it wouldn't be a bad thing.

there was a ton of fresh up there! but it was very spring snowish, super wet and heavy! weird for december huh? still better then 90% of last year though!
pics of this so called pow??...
Rode out of Grizzly on Sat. 30"+ of freshies while boondockin' in the trees. Very fluffy, (had zero right side bog issues) but the snow must have a ton of water content due to gloves getting wet pretty quick if you had to dig out or sweep snow. Temps weren't nasty cold but cold and comfortable, imo, but gloves and goggles had some issues. Visibility was rough due to it snowing like a banshee while on the mtn.
Great day.....cut short........loaded at 1:00 because I broke a spyder in my clutch and was stuck in gear. Gotta get some parts quick!!!......it's Christmas week!
Hopefully air freight doesn't come into play..............

Sweet! I had a coolant issue that sidelined me Sat and a wife issue that sidelined me Sunday. I may just say Fawk it and ride the 25th instead of going to the inlaws, they know I hate it there anyways. Trying to figger out a way to get Friday off.
Curious, do you ever just go ride?
