Post up what you enjoy doing on a sled, pictures welcome. For me, it's boondocking, and busting through drifts!

Sliding the ass-end out in really fluffy snow and then hammering it pulling the skis of the ground while still going sideways. Good way to tip it though.

Definitely ditch banging and jumping crossings for me. That's what gets my blood running. Although, as others have said, so long as I'm riding I'm having fun!

Climbing chutes, or sides of mountains, and making hard pulls when there is a chance you can't make it. That's out in the mountains of course.

For me it's whatever gets my adrenaline pumping. I like to ride fast and love hitting the rough stuff. Still getting use to hitting snow ramps though. Deep snow also does it for me :)
I do like the occasional trail ride, but for me the trails are more for getting to the places to play. I stay responsible while riding the trails because there is no point in risking life because of idiocy.

I enjoy when we get enough snow here to ride. Which only happened once this year. I love riding here because we go out with a couple other people, but other then us there is nobody on sleds riding. We have everything to ourselves. Other then my brother, his friend, and myself nobody else really has much experience on sleds so we are just tearing up the drifts and plowing through the powder while they are just putting along with us. Its fun to ride through parks in town and jump stuff. I also enjoy riding in the U.P. a lot. Not to many people, fast wide open trails, and a lot of powder to play in.

Tree rows that are highly drifted are awesome. Powder, jumps, and small drops all piled into one little area. (Big coullee's have a similar effect)
Any sort of natural lip I can get air from is usually fun.
Freestyle ramp is cool...

A mountain lion roaming the prairie found a bull, killed it and ate the entire bull. With a heavy belly, unable to walk, the lion laid in the tall grass moaning and roaring. Soon a hunter, attracted by the roaring, shot and killed the lion.
Moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut!

River Runnin !!!!!!!!!!!
Triple digits on the straights and leaning into the corners so your ass is almost dragging. Shift your weight to back of seat (grab traction) and pin it again. Just remember where those rocks are. Now that's FUN.

Them jumps are fun..
Rockin the chewbacka suit around town
Probably the thing that I enjoy most about snowmobiling, is going out and riding the ditches and playing in the powder with my dad. He's almost 56 and is still riding hard, him and I are looking at going halfs on a race sled so he can get into jumping more.
Owning a race sled is like having a totally hot girlfriend..... All of your friends want to see it, feel it and check it out..... They all want to know what it is like to ride it, but if they only knew how much time and money it takes to keep one up, they would call you a fool!
