Favorite Riding Areas: My favorite is a secret area. My second favorite area is Petersville as it gets great snow. It has it all from just right amount of woods, open meadows and lakes to the steep and deep. I like the Bunco Lake and Alder Mountain areas the best because on clear days you get great view of Mount McKinley. This area is getting more popular so one must get there early or parking is an issue.
How Long Have You Been Riding? I have been at this game for a little while. I guess my first ride was in 1968 on a Wards Snow Traveler (rebadged a Polaris Mustang). It had a monster 8-horsepower Kohler and a killer 25 mph top end. But I have worked my way up to a 2011 800 Pro-RMK. As soon as I get it, I will be adding a gas can rack and a little storage box. My last sled was a 2009 700 RMK.
