You'd have to get on it pretty quick, but backcountry.com has the BCA 30 and 36 both 20% off right now. Only hitch is they only ship to the states. Not sure if this works for you, but here's the link: Backcountry Access Float 36 Winter Backpack - 2197cu in from Backcountry.com
Having an issue with my 07 summit 800 REV. It's got a relatively new short block in it (roughly 400k on it), but sometimes it just wont start when I'm out playing around.
Yesterday it happened a couple of times that I was ripping around, came to a stop, shut it off then it wouldnt start no...
I played it safe and sent my in to get the software updated. I had a short window because I was planning on riding the following weekend, so I gave them a ring to let them know about the rush and they we're awesome in accomodating me.
They got it turned around super quick, paid for the...
I'm actually going to be out that way the next 2 weeks, and I'm also unfamiliar with the area. The only difference is I'm a relative sled newbie, so if anyone wants to elaborate on the areas that are a little more mellow as well it would be much appreciated :)
Awesome man, definitely let me know if you're back in the Koots this winter. I just checked out your Youtube channel, looks like you've had some pretty epic days already!!
Hoping to get a few days riding at whitewater for sure, looks like it can be a hell of a lot of fun on a pow day :d
I'm pretty new to sledding as well but definitely looking to get out and sled ski (... or ride rather) this winter. I'm based out of Van, but living in kootenays in a town called christina lake for a few months. Moved out there with a buddy to explore the area and ride, so if you're ever in that...
I'll be in Fernie, but may pop down to calgary for those 2 evening sessions if there's a field session that can work out as well!
Just post up when you know the dates for the field session and hopefully I can join you guys. The feedback from the course sounds great.
This is a tragic story indeed... Condolences to the family.
Have any detailed emerged around how this was triggered and what exactly happened? Is there anything we can take from this on how to be safer out there?
Thanks Amy! The guy above is actually Payam, the guy I moved out here with. Would love to meet up on Saturday, where abouts would we find the Castlegar Club parking lot? When are you planning on getting out there?
Just had to say I finally got the sled out for the first time and I can see what all the fuss it about! Such a good time, it's going to be an epic winter.
Wound up heading straight for this snow covered kicker by accident, used the 'if in doubt, throttle out' philisophy and flew off this crazy...
Nice, it sounds like a lot of fun! If you guys wind up out near the christina lake/castlegar area, shoot me a pm. We'll hopefully have found some good spots for it by then :)
Thanks! I'm guessing from your username that you ride Fernie a fair bit (crazy assumption, I know). We're actually planning on going to Fernie for a couple weeks in early March.
How's the sledding out there? Any tips?
