A bunch of us rode Silent on Sunday. Unloaded at the 17km marker, but saw that other guys unloaded in around 21km. Pretty icy for the first few km. There was a little powder to be found, but mostly everything was beat. Groomed trail is great, the switchbacks are starting to get whooped pretty...

I also have a 7-8 person crew heading that way next weekend, and was wondering what areas are best and most importantly safest for this time of year. We'll more than likely be hitting up Quartz, and was thinking about doing Gorman too, but I've read to stay away from Gorman right now. Maybe...

I've taken friends Riding in Golden who've rented from GSR (Golden Snowmobile Rentals) and Rocky Mountain Riders. I'd recommend GSR for sure, Aaron and his wife Kim run the shop, they're the best people in the world to deal with, and their sleds are new and in great shape. When we rented the...

That would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks catmando! Have you ridden there recently?

Me and a couple buddies will be heading west on the 22-23 weekend. As of right now we're booked to stay in Golden, but I've been reading mixed opinions on the conditions in Golden. Can anyone confirm what the conditions are like out there? Are we better off heading to Revy or Valemount??

It's a surprise seeing you on here! Welcome Brad :p And guys, by all means check out our forum and photo gallery on sled-headz.com. Some pretty cool stuff over there.

As with a lot of other people here, I prefer the amber lens.. Athough I've never tried blue. Dark tint lenses are just too dark, and clear.. well they're just clear. I used to be a big Oakley fan and said I'd never switch to any other brand, that was until the dual lens kept fogging up on me one...

I like my HMK's. First real pair of riding boots I've owned. They're pretty stiff, which makes them great when riding, but not the best for walking, although you get used to it. My feet stay warm, even with just regular socks, and haven't gotten my feet wet in them yet. They're also very light...

That's good to hear!! And thanks for the replies so far guys, it's good to know that there's always someone up for riding. I'll be checking in with some of you to see what your plans are.

Some more pics of the new 08 600 there and also some specs. Looks like it's not as light as what was rumored. It's an interesting looking sled that's for sure!

Yup, I have my own rig, so getting to/from isn't a problem. Just looking to meet up with people in Valemount, or on the way there.

Thanks catmando! I'm really looking forward to this season.

Hey guys, I'm looking to possibly ride in the mountains during this time frame. However, there's just one small problem, I'm new to the area and have not met any riding buddies since it's still early in the year. Picked up the new ride last week and am dying to get a ride in before Christmas...

No worries, helmet was worn! Just took that pic before loading her in the truck. Sled feels very nice I gotta say, it's hard to get a real feel for it by just riding in a field though. Really looking forward to going for a REAL ride lol
