    A big THANK YOU to all that hellped in Ehterington last night

    I had to work so I was not able to go out riding yesterday. My neighbor and his son took my daughter out for the day. She's on a new to her 2012 which is a lot different than her old 2004 and she found out the hard way these new machine tip way easier. To make a long story short she's not...

    My first water crossing and my first drop.

    I wasn't intending to do the drop but my adrenaline was pumping so much from the water crossing it just kinda happened LMAO. Water was about 12 to 24 inches at the deepest part, was hard to tell. You wouldn't know it how it skipped right over it. I'm pretty pumped, I'm not exactly an advanced...

    Really enjoying my new set up.

    Over the years have been tweaking our machines to be more user friendly in the hills. Took the sway bars off and this year trying out the sleds with a narrower ski stance. Unreal difference 1.5" makes. Never realized all the holes were already there to narrow the skies. I did have to reset the...

    good example of how snow sets up in an avalanche

    From white fluffy snow heading down the mountain to a living breathing path of destruction. Trees are no match. Wasn't sure if it was ever going to stop. And then it just does.Huge avalanche in Italy followed from mountain to village - Thrill On

    Checking plugs, just installed altitude compensation kit.

    Hey all need some advice. I just installed an altitude compensation kit on my daughters sled. She wants to take the sled and go riding with a friend but I don't want her to take it yet as we haven't been out with it yet to keep an eye on the plugs. My question is how often should the plugs be...

    They may be old but they don't have to look it.

    I'm all excited to get out this year. I found that both sleds are set up to have the skies narrowed 1.5". Hoping this will make a considerable difference (Sway bars were removed last year and made a huge difference.) Just completed the adjustment and re set the toe. Then it was time to get the...

    Avalanche Apps!

    I'm a new Andriod owner. Was browsing the app store and came across Avalanche Canada App. I'm probably just a newb and everyone knows about this app but thought I would post a link. Are there any other good apps to know about??? Tracking apps maybe?

    ATACC installation

    Wondering if anyone can help me. I'm installing an ATACC system on my daughters 600. I already have it on my 800 so will be using it for reference. The only thing I'm not 100% clear on is do I keep the same jetting I have now and just add the system? I can't use the 800 for jetting reference as...

    Radio channels / frequencies

    Just purchased a new BCA BC Link radio and am curious if you all use a common frequency when in the back country. Is there a standard emergency channel? Does Snow and Mud users have a "go to channel"? It makes seance to me the more people that can connect the better off everyone would be. BC...

    Snow blower Mod

    My old snow blower runs great but here is a way to make it throw the snow better. Found this trick on line to help it not plug up and really throw the snow. Can't wait to try it out. The theory is the two stage auger systems are very inefficient. Adding some heavy rubber or similar material to...

    Can ride with confidence finally.

    I bought my 2004 Polaris Vertical edge 151" 800 two years ago. It had 234 miles on it when I bought it. I knew full well of the issues the 800s had in the bottom ends but thought I'd roll the dice due to it's insanely low miles. Last year I could hear something I didn't like. Kind of a metallic...

    So how did we do this year??

    Curious how we did as sledders this year in regards to fatalities (Sorry might seem a bit morbid). Being such a bad year for avalanches I am curious are we less than previous years? More? Are we getting the picture??? Are all the Avalanche classes and great sites like this spreading the word...

    Need help diagnosing a problem.

    I'm riding a 2004 800 Vertical edge Polaris. It has 795 miles on it. <--------- Was out today. Machine ran flawlessly all day. I noticed an irregular noise. Kind of a little rattle of some sort.

    Need some measurements for Mountain Addiction Gas can set up.

    I emailed MA and they said it wont work.....here is the reply I got... You need 10" of clear flat space on your tunnel to mount one of our kits. Your drawing shows 9" which is not enough, unless you remove the rack on the back. The jugs are 9.5" tall so they would not fit under your seat, you'd...

    Need ideas for a new rear light (New seat set up).

    Did a seat upgrade. I don't really want the wiring across the top of the tunnel back to the rear light , nor do I want to reroute it under the tunnel near the track. Thinking I might just add a small LED brake light to the back tube of the seat. It might actually stay cleaner up there as the...
