    looking to buy a sled this winter....what to buy??

    If you buy a mountain sled and run it on the hard packed Alberta lakes you better make sure it has scratchers or throw on a set or you will be burning up sliders and likely overheating on a regular basis. Make sure you get the scratchers that will allow you to back up without destroying them as...

    Still stuck, cant get out

    Muffin started this post methinks looking for a shoulder to cry on and someone to talk him out of leaving the sport of sledding. This appears to be lost on most and we now have a pissing match going on between the Yami and the Doo and/or two stroke guys. We should call a truce on this stuff over...

    2012 Most influential Canadian Shredder

    Maybe we should change the name of the thread to 2012 Most Influential Canadian "Mountain" Sledder and under that category certainly Curtis and Lori and Randy would be up there thanks to their efforts to keep sledders out of the news when it comes to the negative publicity we have received over...

    Recommendations on Camping and ATV trails

    Donald is at the south end of Kinbasket Lake and Velemount is at the north end of Kinbasket Lake so about 190 km. between the two. The resort you stayed at is privately owned, the campgrounds near Valemount are Forestry Service Campgrounds where you deposit the $15 per night in a box. No owner...

    Best places to Quad and Camp in BC

    Association of BC Snowmobile Clubs presenting a cheque to the CAC 2nd Largest Sponsor

    Great work VARDA and ABC. Awesome teamwork as well, back country skiers provide a good portion of the data needed by the CAC, sledders are providing a large share of the funding and the CAC provides the avalanche bulletins that give us the information we need to venture into the back country in...

    Tell a story about great man jim kuster

    Don't know Jim or Carl but ride with guys who rode in Valemount with Jim and young Carl back when it was considered a good day if you made it to the Allen Creek Cabin. Reid Perkins who may not be on this forum talks about Jim quite often when we are riding. He said Jim is an amazing rider...

    Canoe Mountain from the Summit River lodge

    Canoe Mountain is one big rock at the north end of the Monashee Range. Once you are into the alpine there is not a lot of protection so if you don't drive off a cliff the wind will likley blow you off. Best to save that one for a quad trip on a sunny, calm day in the summer.

    m7 rider upgrading to m8

    Like Tantrum said. Did not come out with the high output motor until 2010 so if you are looking for a big bump in horsepower over the M7 look for a 10 or 11.

    Place To Rent Proclimb?

    Someone mentioned in earlier posts that Alpine has two new Proclimbs this year in the rental pool. As well I am pretty sure Glen at Spindrift in McBride rents them.
