Anyone riding Radium/Invermere area this weekend (Feb 23/24)? Two of us are coming down from Thorsby for the first time. We usually ride Valemount/McBride or Revy, but figured we should try somewhere new. Both of us have AST1 training, PIEPS DSP beacons, SnoPulse backpacks, carry a sat...

I never logged off at the Best Western, luckily a nice guy did it for me.:d

When I use the Parts Fiche that is on the ski-doo website, the parts there are the original parts that were put on the machines, but there are no indications of any updated or replacement parts. If I look at a parts fiche from a place like snowcity.com, it shows the updated parts, and then the...

I had my motor seize at Allan Creek on the 22nd. I let it cool down and was able to pull the cord and start it again. Got almost to the cabin when it died again, and it took more time before it would move again, but when I started it up, it made horrible sounds. It was hard to turn the...

I have taken the time to overlay the available BC Government Closures/Boundaries (March 2010) maps for the McBride areas for Google Earth. I find them a great tool for looking where we are allowed to ride. The files are too big to attach (~300kb.... limit is 97kb), so I was wondering if there...

Recently I have noticed that my thumb warmer on my 2008 Summit X 154 is constantly on, regardless of the setting shown in the display. When I change the settings, the display corresponds, but if I turn it all the way off, I still get constant heat on the throttle. Has anybody got any ideas...

I have a problem with the rear shock on my 2000 Summit 700 136". If the weather is cold enough, and I get close to bottoming out the rear suspension, the shock will not come back from the bottomed out position. If I heat up the shock, it allows the suspension to go back to normal. I can hear...

I got all of my wisdom teeth removed this morning. All I got was the local freezing, that way I could drive home myself. I am frozen from my left ear right around the front of my mouth to the back of my right side of my jaw. I took a Tylenol 3, should be an interesting couple of days.... It...

I am curious if any of the Edmonton area shops sell/install Van Amburg Enterprises Tunnels? I want to get a price so that next year I can plead my case with the mrs about how I need one :d... 2008 RevXP 154.

I have heard from 2 guys now that the 509 Goggles don't fit well in the Klim F4 helmet. I already have 509 Goggles, and need to get a new helmet. DoubleK has the F4, and loves it, but says that he has trouble getting his 509's to fit well in it. Another guy I talked to said the same thing. I...

There were 4 of us planning to go to Revelstoke leaving Devon or Thorsby (depending where we meet up) after lunch Wednesday Feb 18, coming back Sunday Feb 22, staying at the Glacier House. One of the guys would like to back out of it, and because it is within the 14 day cancellation period, we...

Would anyone be able to tell me what software I can use to convert UTM-11 NAD83 coordinates to Lat/Long? The following is from an avalanche report on the CAC website, but I am having a hard time trying to get it converted!:rant: Coordinates: 304 897 (UTM-11 NAD1983) Thanks in advance.

So I just got off the phone with the parts department at Martin Eq (West End) and the guy informed me that the black right hand panel that I ordered 2 weeks ago will not be shipping from BRP until Feb 4!!!!! I absolutely need this panel before the S&M Mania trip and was wondering if anyone...

My neighbor has a 2001 Mountain Cat 800 Carb sled. Recently, he had the engine redone (new crank due to bearing play, new piston kit and bore due to a hole in one of the pistons and scuffs on cylinder wall). When we took the sled out to McBride for the first trip this year, he hit a rock and...

If anyone is interested in having tracks from their gps put on Google Earth and saved as a picture for yourself or everyone, PM me and I can make the images. Here are some examples (Murtle Coulies - Blue River, Chappel Creek - Valemount, and Bell Mountain - McBride):

There has been some talk in the McBride November Conditions thread about this, so here is a new thread to discuss the subject. Here's my opinion on the drinking while sledding subject (you don't have to agree, but here it is). When we sled, we don't drink until we are down from the mountain...

A little while ago I swear that I found a map in a post that showed the Eagle Pass area as well as the Turtle Mountain and Boulder Mountain areas. I have been searching the site for this, and have not found it :rant:. If anyone knows which post this is in, or has the jpg to repost, that would...

I would like to introduce a soon to be member of this site. He was born Sunday @ 3:15AM:eek: at 8lbs 8oz. His name is Adam and I am sure it won't be that long before he is showing dad a thing or two on a sled.:)

Just wondering if anyone from the whitecourt area will be around January 19 to show us around the area and find the "great spots" to play. We will be bringing a couple of newbies with us and they want to do some easier riding before we drag them to the mountains. Is there anywhere else that...

If anyone is interested.... Here are pictures of before (Stock) and after (MBRP). Haven't had a chance to hit higher RPM's yet, but it definately sounds throatier at lower RPM's than stock.
