    how does one classify themselves as a experienced backcountry person

    Have you done enough things wrong and not brought neccesities that are now considered more important than many of the things that you thought were important in the beginning. IE: you realize that mickey of schnapps is a nice to have if you have room but the lighter and waterproof matches are a...

    Snow Trail Groomer Pictures

    One night out somewhere in BC years ago we stayed up on the hill way to long and we were the going to be the last ones out. We all groaned and moaned as we left the cabin knowing full well that the trail was already beat to crap when we went up in the morning. Well we wound our way down to the...

    Need a sled for the girlfriend

    Get her a venture and add a 1.5" paddle track, then get her some saddle bages and you can easily fit a med to large cooler on the back seat. That'll get her to the cabin and then she can cook while the boys ride ;)

    Snowmobile Shows - who checks it out??

    Re: Snowmobile Show The deals have been geeting fewer and further inbetween. Deals used to be what convinced many to go, but now with the popularity of the shows the deals are harder and harder to find IMO. The show is still good to check out, just don't go there expecting to save a bunch of...

    i have had enough

    Quite messing around, get those "sleeves" that fit over the bars perfect for the trail up and take em off once in the hills. I've tried thick gloves, multiple gloves, hand guards, putting em in my pants and farting before wearing them. the way to to is thin gloves and the "sleeves" for the...

    Way too close to home for me NOT to go... same questions about what is included as everyone else though. I would definately go.

    Attention....how many more have to die...

    IMO it is kind of like the 90's in the prairies the was a rash of sledders falling through the ice and drowning. Part of the problem is that as sledding get more popular, you get more for rookies who sled uniformed and unaware of the dangers and thus you have more incidents. Unfortunately...

    Limiter Strap

    My limiter strap wiggles about 2" when resting flat, my skis dangle just above the snow when climbing, stearing is easy, I don't trench terribly, and I climb like a mother Trucker LOL. rear suspension is on 2, my front track suspension is on 1, my front (ski) shocks are on the hardest setting...

    Lookiing for New Sled

    Exactly, an 06, unless you typo'ed that part. I ride a stock 06 -800 and haven't been highmarked by an 08 or 09 yet, even when they were smaller guys riding the 08/09's. highmarking ain't the end all be all of riding of course, but basically I ain't sold on the XP technology. I will stay with...

    Paradise Mine

    a bunch of us are going up to Radium between Christmas and New Years. We are taking some people who have never rode in the mountains and some of us have more than enough experience in the hills.... point is I am curious about what to expect in terms of snow conditions. I don't want to go ripping...

    Rider out of bounds - What would you do?

    Well I tried to arrange a sled trip to northern Norway for a June trip when they still have lots of snow... turns out you can't ride anywhere there except for small, designated snowcross tracks. No riding in the hills at all... truth is, enjoy it while it last cause our riding spaces are going...

    1st Sled: Summit 1000/ Phazer/ 800 HO / 600HO / ??

    IMO you want an 800 rev. adrenaline... the X's and the XRS's have been ridden hard and put away wet.... look for something more on the stock side. more mods=better/harder rider. IMO if you have the cash, buck up and buy a new one with warranties. With the sounds of your experience you will do...

    Required: Sense of humor

    A three legged dog dog walks into a bar, jumps on the bar, looks around with a scowl and says, "Anyone know who shot my paw?"
