Like Barkatmon said, winters are getting worse here also.. But if you head up a 3 hour drive to the mountains between Sweden and Norway, you'll find some kickass riding areas grinning-smiley-023.gif I dont really care, as long as there is enough snow to make a snocrosstrack rideable, im satisfied grinning-smiley-023.gif But for the average trailriders I am really sorry for them, must suck to buy a brand new sled (sleds arent cheap here a new f7 is atleast 14000 usd.. ) and end up riding it less than 500miles / year.. Thats just wrong trau14.gif whats up with the god damn weather gods!

Currently the riding conditions here in Ostersund, sweden is not so good.

Beautiful weather but little snow, just rideable.

Regarding restrictions in Sweden, there are some rules:

To drive a snowmobile you have to be at least 16 years old and have a special drivers licence for snowmobile or a drivers licence for a car or motorcycle before the year 2000. If you want to rent a snowmobile I'm not sure what the rules are.

There is a general speed limit for snowmobiles in the whole country, 70 km/h or app 43 mph.

Then there are restriction areas around towns and in some areas in the mountains.
