I was bored so I figured out how much this sport has cost me to go 0.7 miles this year.

3000 for the sled
300 insurance and registration
65 trail pass
200 tax
17.50 gas
---------------
3582.50 to go .7 miles
which equals 511.79 to go 0.1 miles this year, so at this rate it would cost me 5117.86 to go 1 mile

Nice, I have spent less than $2000 I think this year on my sled, and I have 50 some odd miles recorded. This may not seem a lot, but I didnt have a speedometer cable for most of the two weeks I have owned my sled, in fact, I have done all of those 50 miles in the past two or 3 days, and that is a lot less riding than what I did the first week I owned it.

 

[FreestyleRenegade]

I have spent:
$2,000 for sled
$85 for helmet
$180 for jacket
$60 for a new bumber
$30 for a riser block
$20 for a j hook
$10 for grips
$6 parts for RAVE
$35 misc stickers and crap!

Im to lazy to add that all up....but im guessin its alot!

 

[SledHead]

I'm at 700 just to be regestered to ride...

 

[luvemall]

65 dollers for a trail pass?here on P.E.I. their 150.but i see your point,getting hurt and loseing the whole winter must realy suck,maybe before its over you will get a ride or two in.well good luck anyways.

 

[jedarapa21]

I thought I had it bad...about $500 this year, ($7500 if you include th cost of the sled) and I've gone just shy of 400 miles. I can't believe all the hidden costs (trees!!) you don't realize you'll have to deal with in the off season.

2003 skidoo MXZ-REV 600 H.O. "007" special edition PRICE: $8600

[paulxlt]

HEHE, here in NY, we have groomers on trails 3 times a week, and all we pay to use the trail is $10 a year for club dues, and sometimes do some work for a local farmer to use their field. [] Plus, my sled reg & ins is only $50 a year combined! Bout the first thing I can find NY is cheap at!

 

[pigboy]

My expenditures for 55 miles of riding YTD is zero so far.

Still on same tank of gas from last spring.

Insurance expired, didn't bother to renew this year.

Reigistration good till next year.

Sled paid for back in '98.

Still an expensive sport though. In fact, I would say it's the most expensive hobbie there is, considering that if you keep your sled more then a few years, it's pretty much worthless after that.

 

[jacqui583]

Yeah, mine looks about the same as bigwilly's. Bought a new (to me) sled this year for my daughter, trail permits, insurance, etc. etc. etc. We've put on about 300km so far this year. Hopefully I'll get some riding in next week; I have March break off from work.

You forgot one, bigwilly; keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle until ride comes to a complete stop![8D]

paid 3300$ for my 97 T-cat
Then blew the crank 2 weeks later, instead of getting that fixed i said the hell with that and got the 1000cc and installed it. 1200$
Couldn't use the 38mm carbs so i got some 39.5mm carbs 300$
Trail pass 180$
Helmet 300$
Insurance 297$
And i've put quite the miles on , so at 94cents/littre for 92octane in Canada your looking at roughly 600$ of gas,,,
plus all the food and ocasional beer
Grand total without food money : 6177$cdn so that's about 500$ US , heheheh
