    ^Sled, Snowmobile or most commonly for me "Ski-doo". Although I do realize that Ski-doo is a brand.

    I'm going to call my truck the wheeled machine. The ambulance can be the flashy noisy box machine.

    I don't wear a flat billed hat but still refer to it as sledding.

    that is what we call it in the Vermont forum on HCS.
    No S word to jinx the season.
    I guess in Alaska you don't have to worry about that so much.

    Haha snow in September! :woot:

    Why do you think I live here?

    I really want to color match my snowmachine when I get one, just not sure a white 'sled' is the safest choice, though it would look sweet in the bed of my truck

    I hear all three names around here. Sled, snowmobile and snowmachine. I prefer sled because it is one syllable hence quick and easy to say. For the record, I wear neither a flat billed cap nor a pizza hat.
