The only problem getting suited up on that heated floor once your feet hit the floor you don’t want to put your sled boots on lol!

Have had and seen a lot of encounters with timber,just the odds are against if enough time is spent in the tree‘s.On one occasion a guy lost his new 05 summit and the machine did a ghost ride down a 1000’ steep open slope,machine was going 70mph+ and hit a 6” tree dead center.It slowed it down a...

It’s a old thread and I didn’t see Silky saws mentioned,I use the scabbard model mounted on back of tunnel.Their made in Japan used by professional arborists,I’ve used axes and numerous chain saw styes but much prefer scabbard mounted saws for quick & easy.

The Phazers were a great sled and would go In the deep stuff where higher hp sleds struggled with being heavy. There was group of guys west of me that ran major Big Bore Mods and Custom chassis in the early 90’s, these guys had the best money could buy.They hired this guy in the interior to...

Picked up my Edge 175 two weeks ago,34” front end installed,27” handlebars & quick attach shovel and saw,just about ready.

Sirk did you ever get a chance to ride with Jim or Carl?

I had great luck with paddles just made my own from lengths of 90 deg. UHMW white angle material,1-3/4” I believe never lost any.Must have been 10 yrs never seen a cabin,must of been riding wrong areas lol!

Was chatting with a friend that was in our old riding group this morning and we got reminiscing about the exploring days way back.I had miscounted and it was 18 mountains we rode in Valemount area not 16🤓

That’s the exact sled Carl Kuster started riding in the mountains,it was a trade in at CC Cycle that Carls parents owned Jim&Claudette.It didn’t look that pristine,the hood was in 6 pieces and they drilled a zillion holes and sewed the pieces together with wire.They tapered the tunnel and ran...

175 for me also my Edge showed up 10 days ago.

A lot of reply’s that great,I ran fancooled from 1986-2007 first one was a 82 Polaris TX-C 121“ 1/2”lug then long track 136” with plastic paddles.In 93 got a Indy Lite with a transplant full mod 488 that I rode till 2002 when built custom Indy Lite with chain case rolled forward and 144”. Had...

As title states was curious how many started sledding in the mountains on a fancooled sled.

Beyond the upper ridge when dropping into 2nd area with the Big Cornices on the left, seen a Cornice the size of a Super B Semi Truck break off and roll down on to flat area completely intact. There was a Avalanche Safety Video filmed in Westridge 1996 called Beating the Odds.It was directed...

Glad to see it turned out,I deployed my pack instantly when caught in Avy west of Columbia Icefeilds in 2008.Good thing as I was ejected off sled and knocked unconscious,great to see your talking about your experience 👍.Had lost a friend in Blue River 15 days prior.

Nice to ride with you guys again,had a BLAST.I like Brants definition of the terrain as SPICEY!

I was at Miledge Dec of 93,the whole group was trying to brake trail in very deep pow through the trees.I noticed a Brand New 583 Summit that was fairly impressive and had a chat with the owner.I quizzed him on the SKS skid that was on it,his reply was he had to mountains twice with the C7 stock...

That was Skidoo’s first Real Mountain Sled,they mistakenly put Summit Decals on some Green 93 to 95 Sleds lol!

Thanks giddyup

Was curious if anyone having issues with there Montana 700 GPS shutting down in cooler temps,mine only makes it to -4 to -6c and that’s being powered in the cradle.

I’ve been on some of those Holmes River access rides years back,some of the Guys on the Big Iron find it frustrating when a Fancooled gets through the ugly stuff before they do🤓
