If you’re riding in temps down to -30 a full face helmet seems like it would be a better option to me. I run Oakley goggles but they have a fair bit of venting through the lenses to prevent fogging when you’re working hard or the temps are warmer. If the problem you’re having is related to wind...

In 2017 my dad and I both bought brand new G4 165s. I bought a 3” and he bought a 2.5”. His reasoning for the smaller track was that he wanted to use it for riding around the farm too and the smaller lug is better for that. In 2018 my dad snowchecked a new sled with a 3” after seeing how much...

I put a finger throttle on my sled this year. Found it natural to use right away but I did get a bit more forearm strain for the first little while just from getting used to using different muscles. I have the guard on mine but I really don't see it being necessary even if you ride trees a lot...

I’m more of a skidoo guy but completely agree on the ‘no point spring booking comment’. All the manufacturers offer “extended warranty” options on the snow checks but they are pretty hesitant to tell people that that’s actually not manufacturers warranty, its a third party provider and they will...

I started riding with a set of fox mtb D30 knee pads last season and can honestly say I will not ride a day without them anymore. I have smashed my knees into side panels while wearing them a few times and they really do work. They are light enough and don’t really restrict mobility since they...

Hey I'm just wondering if anyone has tried using the Z-Bros KISS adjustable coupler on their 850. I am running a turbo and the ski lift with the stock ski can be hard to control at times. This looks like a fairly inexpensive piece that could help reduce the ski lift. I don't expect it to work as...

I would use a pretty big grain of salt after hearing that the salmon trail is “great”. We rode salmon twice this weekend and up top it’s pretty nice but the trail is far from great. It is definitely really bice for early season but once you leave the groomed trail it’s pretty much sketchy...

Do you have any pictures of it mounted. I tried fitting mine and its either going to be rubbing on plastic and letting or it will be squeezed in so tight that it will be impossible to get out when everything is hot.

I have an mpi turbo kit. But from what I saw at the sled show all the kits are relatively similar in how the turbos are crammed into the side panel.

Is there anyone running an 850 turbo that was able to mount a muff pot. I always loved a hot lunch when I ran stock with a can but it seems like with the turbo there is just not enough room.

Left my GoPro on the tunnel of my sled outside the cabin at blue lake on Friday. Probably a long shot, but hoping that whoever found it will return it. Went back to blue today and it wasn’t inside the cabin or on the ground by it, so someone definitely picked it up.

Did anyone find a GoPro on the ground outside the blue lake cabin today? I’m pretty sure I lost mine

I think you pay extra for colour just because skidoo knows they can make more money that way. I'd find it pretty hard to believe that it costs them anymore to make blue side panels instead of black ones but they know that people will be willing to pay extra for a great looking colour so it makes...

I had a can last year and 2 of the 4 bolt holes broke like that one. Bought a new can this year and after the second weekend one of the bolt holes already ripped out of the base. I've started taking my can off when I get to the top of the trail so I don't kick it when in technical situations but...

If anyone picked up a set of skidoo ski tips today on the owlshead trail in the first few km, they were mine mine. Please let me know, I'm in sicamous until Thursday
