Hi , my name is Maggie, I am new to snowmobiling.... I went this past feb in Cooke city Mt and I am ADDICTED. I cant wait til the snow flies. I live in Missouri so we dont ride snowmobiles here .It was something new and it was AWESOME. The mountains are incredible.

A little about myself, Im single, I own a trucking company, I race micro sprints, i like to go four wheeling, and i love snowmobiling. I have 2 wonderful kids that also race sprint cars. Keeps me busy but i am gonna make time to go out west any chance i get.
I am looking to buy a rmk600 and I am taking ideas on what would be a good starter sled for me?
also any tips on riding will be greatly appreciated. I Have been reading the forums for sometime now and am picking up alot.. This site rocks.

Couple questions first.
How much you want to spend??
Second, is it really worth buying a sled?
If you only get out once a season or maybe a couple times a season it might be worth it to just rent from the local area.

Down side, you won't be able to modify the sled to fit your style (assuming you have a "style")
Upside, you get to ride new sleds and have no upkeep and you don't have to tow the sleds out.

A decent used 600 will run you around 4k, you can rent a sled for a day for around 200 dollars. So, doing the math, that is 20 days worth of rental.

So it really boils down to how often and how much you plan to ride each year.
