    2023/2024 Fernie area

    She's cold out today! Hopefully by Monday it should be a warm enough for us to get back out and enjoy the snow. There Is lots of fresh but we are still touching the odd thing. One more good storm and a person should feel safe dipping their skis.

    Horrible noise.

    yep we check the bolts on that frame every time we take the hood off and the right side (PTO) seems to crack often

    New and improved 4 stroke?

    Love my Boondocker sidekick on the 2smoke. It flat out works all the time. truthfully its kept me from buying a new sled this year because my 2016 with the sidekick is so good that I don't want to start over building a new set up, although when we put the kit on and geared the up the sled it...

    where is your favorite place to stay & Ride

    Fernie is always a good choice there is so much riding here that you could spend years here and never scratch the surface. We have been teaching out of Fernie since 2008 and I still find that I'm riding new stashes of snow and different local locations every year. Just drive up to Elkford...

    Lightest Avy bag on the market?

    I think of a avi.bag as primary safety gear right up there with a first aid kit beacon prob and shovel and a small tarp. For me there is only one bag that I will run for a number of reasons. the bag has 2 airbags has a very reliable and simple trigger system. I find it easy to get a recharge but...

    Is modding worth it anymore?

    I have always said that riding a stock sled with just a can and some clutching is the way to go. We have 3 stock cats and one with a low boost turbo proclimb that has proven to be just as reliable as the stock sleds. Personally the turbo didnt change where the sled could go but sure makes...

    Cat must do mods?!?

    All 3 of our work sleds have very little done to them.... take the easy weight of (Always) and all the foam out of the side panels, shorten long bolts... but past that ride it first, set up your suspension, then fix things that bother you. I can't tell you how many times we have given advice to...

    Cat must do mods?!?

    It sounds like you need to get some miles on it and see what you think. For some people they need nothing all depends on riding style and expectations! That sounds like something I've been saying to you since I met you Cal

    Swamp Ass

    Guys that run hot need to buy a different model of pant and jacket then guys that run cold... ask your dealer what jacket has more venting options and as odd as it sounds get a helmet that has good ventilation like the Klim F3 or F4. If your head stays cool you would be surprised how much...

But for whatever reason this year is different, The sleds are already set up, new rack cards, few new goodies to try out and...

    Another shot being fired at sledders in the press

    A few weeks back one of our instructors had slipped and blew his knee out, we were on a free ride and he was nearly stopped! We were not in a place that is easy to get out from but we did have everything we needed to get him out without doing further harm to his knee. Sure it took us a few hours...
