What did this season cost you?
- Thread starter -lenny-
- Start date
my family was about 7k I'd say for 2 trips and my dad's sled
3 sets of A arms... and my sanity wondering how we could have this horrid a winter in CO!!!
WHY??
WHY??
My wife doesn't hassle me about it at all, so I guess its just to satisfy my curiosity more than anything. You do raise a valid point though....
15,000 - 20,000
New sled aint cheap.
New sled aint cheap.
I try not to even think about it...you can't put a price on this sport. Lets just say as a college kid/part time worker sometimes I skip out on buying groceries to ride for a weekend or buy parts.
Personally the season cost me around $500. ($250 gas and oil, $200 snowmobile parts, and $50 eating out). The cost to keep me on patrol for the season came out to approx. $25000 including snowmobile lease costs and repair, snowmobile gas and oil, vehicle costs, replacement gear, perdium and salary.

Good thing me and my wife dont really keep good track of what I spend on just sleddin,this year was a expensive one between all the parts and the fun parts and sled deck and gas, oh and hospital bills cant forget that one either
Well, I bought a new sled for me and a used one for my Fiancee this year, plus clothing/accessories/fuel/maintenance/upgrades.
I am right at $20,000 right around there. Not horrible for someone coming into it with nothing, and getting two sleds, a trailer, clothing, fuel, trips to the shop (hyperfax upgrades, etc), Skinz airframes, new LED lights for the trailer, superclamps for the trailer, cover for the fiancee's sled, maintenence on the fiancees sled, new helmet, several pairs of goggles (trying to find good ones to work with my glasses), etc.

Ask me in june.
It would be nice to split it up between things that retain value like sleds and trailers and expense items like gas oil and parts. I don't really know what a sled "cost me" until I sell it. I bought a really nice trailer but plan on keeping that for quite a while. Trade the sleds in every year or two. Where I really lose is on upgrades to the sled. Not worth much when you sell your sled, kinda goes down the toilet.
250 gallons of diesel, 90 gallons of sled fuel, 4 gallons of sled oil, belts, sparkplugs, ice-scratchers, new clutch, etc !!! Getting To Spend Christmas and Spring-Break in the Mountains with My Family ===== PRICELESSS !!!!! >>>>.
Ya, no effing kidding. I spent alot less than I wanted because I didn't get to ride as much as I wanted.
Not nearly enough. This was the shortest suckiest winter I have seen since I started riding at 8 years old. Only cost me half as much as I would have liked it too because I rode not quite half as many days as I did last year. Oh well i guess I can spend that money on doing my backyard this summer.
girlfriend, motor, front bumper, ice scratcher, probably $300 in fuel and oil. Way less than I expected...
