Skoter

I am finally home again after my trip to Florida and it is cold and snowy outdoors! Quite a big change to the hot weather I have become used to these past weeks… Despite having a wonderful time in America I can’t explain how happy I am to come home. I even cried a few tears when I sat down in our sofa.

Normally I upload a video every thursday but this week it will be on friday (tomorrow). I’m tired of traveling and jetlag and apart from that I wanted to spend time with my parents ♡

The day before we traveled to Florida me and Johan was on something called “The Snowmobile Day” (Snöskoterns dag). It is a day when people interested in snowmobiling visit the stores in their area to drink coffee and eat hamburgers while looking at the snowmobiles (and related attire). Usually there are a lot of great deals to make and apart from that it is cozy to meet and speak with friends.

This year it had started to snow and I was super excited about that. I knew it was far from enough snow to drive and that it would probably melt soon but it gave me such a nice feeling!!

I also got to see the new Ski-Doo Freeride and it looked great. I had to stand on it and pretend to drive it in the store. When there is enough snow I will ask Stefan at Tords Motorservice (my snowmobile dealer) if I can test drive it for real.

Apart from the actual snowmobiles there is such an amount of related attire to look at. Jackets, helmets, glasses, gloves, underwear, bags, sledwraps and so on. Always new inventions and ideas to make your trip more comfortable. I liked this fold-able pellet grill which saves a lot of space.

According to the weather reports it will be snowing this weekend. Perhaps we can take out our snowmobiles and at least drive around in one circle in our backyard…? /Anna Munkhammar

Today I am going to something called “The Snowmobile Day” in Sweden (Snöskoterns dag). It’s a weekend when all snowmobile stores are open and people interested in snowmobiling go to all the stores in their area to meet others and to eat BBQ:ed hamburgers. And yes of course you can make good deals on snowmobiles and related attire too!

The Snowmobile day has become a marker of the start of the season and therefore I always look forward to it! Last year I came straight from the Canary Islands only to see there was a pile of snow outside one of the stores called Sixten Nilssons and that made me super excited. Unfortunately the snow came from the hockey rink and we had to wait a few weeks more before we had enough real snow to start driving.

This year I will travel to Florida AFTER the Snowmobile day. I will get a pre-taste of the upcoming season and when I come home from USA it should not be long until I can go on a little ride. Last year we went on our first snowmobile tour in the end of November. Sure there was not much snow and we did not go far but still!

The best part with the Snowmobile day is that you get to meet everyone else that is driving and at the same time you can see all the new models. I also like to meet my local Ski-Doo dealer Stefan at Tords Motorservice because he will tell me the latest news and is always very enthusiastic.

Are you longing for snowmobiling?  /Anna Munkhammar
