Summitric keep in touch, I too want a trailer from down, would sve around 3g's easy

Too the rest who have doubts on the border crossing, I say this. I have been down twice in the last 6 weeks. the first time I sent all paper wrok to border 72hrs it was easy 5 minutes. note that paper work goes to the US customs, when you come back into canada they don't even know whether you have sent that paper work and do not ask. you need a bill of sale, the sled needs the original manufactureres label (usually on the right side of tunnel near the SN) if that has been removed call the manufacturere and they will fax you letter and that will work as well. I would suggest you ask the seller for a lower selling price listed on the bill of sale, will save you some GST. there is no duty. you do not need to pay the RIV fee unless you want to register and plate your sled. I have been riding in the mountains for 8 years and never registered a sled, never had an issue. You can still insure just not register it, unless you file with RIV, pay there fees and jump through there hoops. Yes you are right if you need to finance a sled it may be a little difficult. I suggest you talk to your bank, it is worth it for the savings. If our dollar hits a 1.10 I will be making a few more trips some how.
