    Staying in a enclosed vs hotels while sledding?

    I have been thinking about using my truck camper. Early season and late season would work best, not as cold. Needs to be about -15 before the water lines freeze.

My tracker one wore out, when testing the range, I was down to 30m, most new ones are around 60m from what I observed at ast1. The instructor mentioned the older beacons have less pulses per minute versus...

    15 Pro wont start troubleshooting

    Some of the early released 15 pro's have a fuel pump recall. Mine didn't, but my buddies did. Check with your dealer. Can't remember exactly what it's about, something about the fuel pump and air in the system.

    Headwall- Kimberley

    How cold is too cold?

    Rode about 60cm fresh yesterday, -21C was the high. Dressed warm. Didn't notice the cold until the end of the day when the sun went behind the mountain... froze my a$$ off riding the 10 miles out. We played all the way back and no long fast stretches, then figured we'd fly down the trail to get...
