    Just rode 2014 xm

    Why would you have a little saddle like that when you don't have any horses? Have you been reading 50 Shades of Grey?

    Alcohol + sledding

    I don't take beer up the hill simply because I have not yet figured out a way to get it up there without it leaking in my pack or tunnel bag or exploding on me when I crack one open on the hill (maybe that could be the subject of another thread but probably not a good idea if we are trying to...

    Laws regarding snowmobiles in Alberta

    Bogger you are lucky to live in a County where common sense prevails and the influence of the urban greenie has not yet had an impact. Strathcona County used to be like the other counties around Edmonton where common sense was the rule. Even though it was against the local bylaw to ride within...

    Valemount RCMP (BULLETIN!!)

    I suspect the reason they approach those arriving late is that there have been problems in the staging areas around Valemount with thieves arriving at the staging areas later in the day when the parking lot is full of vehicles and everyone has headed up the hill. They are breaking into trucks...

    Snowmobilers finally win one against Caribou closures

    The article mentions the reduction of the closure area was spearheaded by snowmobilers and "republican senators from Idaho" as opposed to "liberal and NDP mp's from Vancouver". That in a nutshell is the difference between Idaho and BC. There is an abundance of common sense with respect to...

    Sled trip with the wives

    Drop them off at the Fantasyland Hotel on your way through Edmonton to Valemount. From Valemount you can easily ride McBride and Blue River. Pick them up on the way back.

    Thanks

    Nice to see someone take the time to praise when the service is great as the tendency to bitch when things go wrong is much more common. Not that there is anything wrong with bitching when things go wrong but nice to balance that out with the positive experiences. Do not know Brad at Full...

    How does polaris do it?

    Nobody has a "similar weight" to Brandon. He weighs less than the gas in his sled with his gear on.

    Begginer sled for my wife

    If you are buying the sled so she can ride with you and you are riding in the mountains it matters what you ride. Although not published on the Polaris website there is usually a considerable difference in horsepower between a 600 cc. sled and an 800 cc sled. If you ride a bigger sled with a...

    North Thompson Sled Shred

    On the video location says BC and AK so assume AK stands for Alaska as you say does not look like a road around Blue River. His post title is North Thompson Sled Shred so he sort of gives away the location of the area around Blue he is sledding in even though he does not want you to ask for...

    CAC Membership Renewal. Lets get Sledders to be the largest group in the CAC!

    Done. Through the buck a sled program and sledders donating in other ways I think sledders are already the back country user group sending the most money to the CAC so we might as well have the most memberships. Make the "greenie meanies" that do not want us in the back country squirm a bit.

    Russia the next frontier for big mountain riding?

    Better riding or not it sure looks like Europe/Russia is where the growth is happening in this sport. According to the October 2012 edition of SnoWest Europe/Russia has almost tripled sled sales in the last 10 years (13,911 in 2002 to 38,000 in 2012) whereas Western United States has dropped...

    Do you know of a sledder who should be honoured?

    So many just on this forum alone with people like Fernie Snow, Momma, Trish, Ron, Depsnolvr, etc. A couple more come to mind like Ministikman and Sledderglen who as well as riding in the mountains also ride locally and have busted their butts for years for Tri-County and Fort Saskatchewan Snow...

    Who should you support

    Don't think anyone was saying businesses should pay because they are for profit I think they were saying it would be nice if businesses that are seriously involved in the snowmobile industry support snowmobile federations and/or snowmobile clubs to ensure their own future viability as without...

    Who should you support

    With all due respect I think you have posted in the wrong thread. The thread that did not originate as, but turned out to be a thread bashing Valemount Cop's is under the Valemount section of this forum.
