I hit god knows what under the snow and managed to bend my left spindle on my Sidewinder. Does anyone know if there are any other options other than the factory parts? Figured now is a good of time as any to upgrade.

Exit/Zbros has aftermarket ones, if I was upgrading my 15 viper I would probably go with theirs.

If the spindle is the same as the 2016 viper they do have them listed for cat and yamaha. If the 17 winder uses a different one then you may want to call and see if they have.

Bent spindle and the A-arms are ok?

Yep. No idea how. Was carving to the right and Im assuming there was a rock under the snow and hit the left ski. When I got back onto a compact surface I could see that the ski was twisted up towards the sled. All A-arms are still straight, no issues with where they mount to the chassis. Just the spindle has a nice bend to it between the upper and lower A-arm mounts.
