I'd suggest hiring a guide for a day, there are many regions to ride locally and if you don't know your way around you can get into lots of trouble pretty quickly. Someone like Ray can show you around for a day, then you can take it on your own afterwards. Many of the riding areas do not have...
Wow, this is just full of mis-information. First off, I've been a member here well before Mountain Sledder Magazine ever came to fruition (June 2010). Secondly, it's not MY magazine. I'm a photographer, athlete and writer. Other than freelance work, I have nothing to do with advertising or...
Do you ask for free advertisements from every sled movie that is talked about on the forum here too? At least the sled movies charge for their product.
Most of my girlfriends are timid 5'0-5'5" and around 100-130lbs and they seem to handle an 800cc just fine. You're probably teaching her wrong or you have her on an older 800cc that handles horribly. Sasha is 90lbs and handled a 09 800cc 146 just fine. I can 100% guarantee you that an 800cc...
My gut feeling tells me that a 800cc Summit 800 XP probably weighs less than a 04 RMK 800 or 600.
Also, the weight difference between a 800 and 600 is like maaaaaybe 20lbs between models of the same year/brand. I mean, come on. If you're really that worried about the weight difference just buy...
Producing a magazine isn't free... there is a lot of time and money that go into putting it together. Not to mention paying photographers, writers and graphic designers. The only thing paying for production of this FREE magazine is ad space. I'm sure if you asked, they'd be able to give you a...
A 600 e-tec is not even comparable to older 600 p-teks or 600 RMK/Phazers. I was under the impression the starter of this thread was looking for older 2nd hand snowmobiles, not brand new 13,000 before tax snowmobiles. Stll though, why not get her an 800? Is it just because shes a girl and needs...
Even the "timid" girls/ladies around here prefer an 800 and ended up selling their 600s either within the first year or end of their first season. A 600 weights pretty much the same as an 800 = worse power to weight ratio. I'm sorry but the throttle/acceleration is pretty damn similar between an...
Can't wait to see a hard copy! I have 2 articles in it and a bunch of photos in it. Finally a quality magazine that compares to what we have in skiing and snowboarding.
Why on earth would you even conceive of getting her a 600cc sled? They're more or less the SAME weight as an 800cc with LESS power. It'll be HARDER to handle and control, not to mention if you ever want to use her sled to tow yours out... good luck.
Get her a decent sled. What do you ride? Get...
