Greetings from Pa.!
I know this is Sno"West" but here in the East, there didn't seem to be anything available to lear, read, chat, or otherwise with others. My name is Denise-"Dee" to many of my friends-and I live in Erie, Pa.! right on the Great Lake of same name. I have been reading many of the posts on here, and somewhat envious because your riding seasons start much earlier than here. Must wait for Lake Erie water temp to drop for any sufficient snow fall to occur. I ride with 2 guy friends I inherited from my brother when he bolted to Florida. Was asked once at the end of a boating season if I wanted to try it since there was a spare sled-well, 10 yrs. later very hooked. I wish there were other girls around here who rode, but not a common thing unfortunately. Most that do ride around here do what is referred to as "alcohol runs" and spend the day riding from bar to bar, andmay only cover 100-200 miles a season. Heck, I do that in a day(maybe more miles) when we trailer to somewhere. To get good riding in, must trailer at least a hour away to either South western New York state or in mid-state(Pa) to Allegheny National Forest. The 3 of us always do a really big journey up North(Canada) for a week of riding. I amy not be the most aventerous rider, but at the end of the day I am not the one of us in group hurting. I have been known to pass out heating pads, and icy hot to boys after dinner. I do enjoy the lifestyle, the adventures, experiences, and travels I have been on in 10 yrs, and looking forward to many, many more!

I've been riding sleds since 1967 and love technical riding with no tracks. I have never really rode with any extreme women riders as it's mostly with the guys. However, I did meet Kim Jackson on here and did get to ride with her which was so cool. Haven't been able to make the girls ride yet, can't wait to meet all you passionate women sledders there sometime. I grew up thinking I was alone. Been on here since the beginning of the forum and it's sure been neat watching this forum's women sledders grow to what it is today. Don't post much anymore, something to do with being busy. I am now a G-ma and my G-daughter at the age of 18 mos already loves sleds and is lokking for the Snowest (just like her dad did ), and any action shot she says Whoa! can't wait to get her started so hoping to teach her some even this season. A 3rd generation sledhead. I worked in the Gas and Oil field for 20+ years and I'm currently retired ( I spent way more time on here when I was working go figure). I mostly pick my powder days anymore and don't put on near as many miles. I ride the Snowies and Sierra Madras and have traveled as well, but I still perfer our powder. Always looking to meet gals that love the greatest sport on earth as much as I. If any of you are in the neighborhood and want to ride look me up. I would eventually like to meet some serious gals in the area that would be interested in a girls trip to the cabin, there would be limitations on the size of group as the cabin is small but there is some awesome riding here. There is already a good base started. Check out my website for a few cool shots to get you pumped for the season 
Both my husband and I ride street bikes and were looking for a hobby to get us through the winter months. Snowmobiling seemed liked the reasonable thing to do so on the hottest day of the summer I purchased a RMK 600. I have had a new toy for months that I have not been able to play with! Maybe this weekend.
