Just wondering how it is where you live, if you can ride youre sled without being worried for the authoritys..

Here in norway, we can not ride in the mountain legal.. There are some that are allowed to do so, but that is only in work related, or transport related cases.. We have som very few places where they have marked a route for snowmobiling, but its stricktly forbidden to leave this marked route by 2-300 meters..

So we ride on the fields near farms and so (this is usually never a problem), and every once in a while in the mountains unlegal ;)

bummer, that you have such little space to ride. Here in Ontario, Canada I ride on thousands of kilometres of groomed trail, lakes, ditches and fields all legally. Not a bad setup if you ask me except for the lack of mountain riding.
Cheers
 
The reason we can't ride in the mountains is that there aren't any mountains in Ontario!
We do however have 43 000 kms of groomed trails. The largest network of groomed trails in the world! All the trails are legal to use if you have a permit (pass) to use them. If you don't have a pass you could be charged upto $1000 for trespassing. No insurance could be upto $5000 fine, and no licence is minor. The rules of the road, and the fines, are the same for car or sled.

x2, it's a seriosly sweet system up here, and I'm incredibly greatfull for it.

The only problem is that all the manufacturers are going for the "big bump" sleds, then you look at our glass smooth trails and all I want the lower, better handling suspensions back.

The only catch is that if you're in southern ontario sometimes you have to mission up north to actually get onto the trails (thanks to degrading snow conditions mostly)
