Hello,
i,m a long time member of the board, and came to Sun Peaks on holiday with my family from Victoria. I went out on a trail ride from the resort and followed the clubs trail network. The snow is very deep, with no base. I end up burning up two belts and had to leave the sled and walk out...
That is awesome news, I remember when it happened and what a pain in the ass it was. Sorry to here the trailer is not with it, but if i remember the sled was uninsured so this will help offset what you are out of pocket for the new sled you picked up to replace it.
I have an 03 S/C RX1 with MPI Cromemoly skid parts extended to 162X16. The front is stock A-arms with Works shocks and Simon's Gen 2 powders skis. The sway bar is long gone and I have lightened up everything that can be taken off. The sled is a beast to turn at slow speeds and a handful on the...

I had an 03 800 and had it rebuilt three times in three years. Low end price was $1600, high end was $2000 (big bearing crank and case mod). I sold it after the last repair and have not looked back. Loved the sled, hated the lack of reliability. I don't think those motors are worth putting...
I just got a SC oil change kit from E&S. I was $99 plus shipping and handling. I ordered yesterday and got its today in Victoria. Service was great and price is better than the "after brokerage" price from MPI.
I use ice climbing gloves, they are thin, waterproof and breath. They are designed for flexibility and mobility and have a formed palm that does not bunch up. Most have goat skin palms and wear very well.
I have an 03 RX1 SC that is almost gas and go as long as I keep it out of the trees. I ride everything my buddies ride and don't get stuck any more than they do. Yes it is heavy when stuck, but I'm not putting a motor in it every second year and I have pulled out at least one of every brand...
