+1, u need a strong motor to rotate a long track.

Thanks buddy, gonna stop by at ralphs today or Monday.

Any shop here in in Calgary where I may look closer on that stuff? I user reima gears (outlast and gortex) before but after 10years these has to be replaced

Personally I avoid wearing not only cotton but also any kind of synthetic layers. Usually I wear merino wool as a bcase and wool sweater as a middle layer, top always cortex. I didn't find much difference between gortex and normal bibs through. I found fleece as a cotton be ineffective, wool...

Don't worry, let's wait a week or two, then we will help we with removing old fallen trees, etc cheers

All the equipment mentioned above hard to buy at once, spent time trying to find out what gears are better for you. The most expensive gears not always the best, often (not always) the cheapest and the most exp stuff made from the same material. Just different labels. Do some research before...

We are ready to join you this year, we have 2 sleds now :-). How much snow we got there? Alex & Julia

Del, sorry double

I am not. If someone wears these bags and thinks that he is more protected then others without them and rides highers because of his confidence level -- he is 100% wrong. That is everything I wanted to say, nothing personal. I understand that some companies are selling that cheap chinise sh-t...

I also always had a feeling that summit either for females either for olderly guys. That's why i always have one in my garage, time is running fast.... LOL

I do not have any negative attitudes towards any guys who wear them. Just think that these bags are kinda useless, and ppl shouldn't go where they shouldn't be (with or without bags -it doesn't matter). Last year we lost about 5-6 guys (both sledders and skiers), I do not want to see it this...

That is a good one :-)

+1, I had AC with 121" track in 1997 then I bought a Polaris with "extreme 136" then people were asking me why do I need such a long track. Thought I still miss maneavreability of 121"

If someone wants to choose between RMK and XM the best would be to test both, just join any of our forum rides and try both. I personally have both sleds, both in a good shape. Love them.

Another link, that thing really helps to find bodies, but not alive victimes, it takes time to operate it...

Well said Lilduke, learn more about area where you going to ride, and don't relay on these balloons.

Norwegians tried developing a radar with an operator that can be towed behind a snowmobile, to search for barried bodies. I personally tested one of their first prototype in Norway, and we found a snowmobile with a person on it, under 5 meters of snow. However, serial production of such radars...

We just finished similar thread, it will never end..... :-)

I thought about that problem. For example a small self-inflating helium balloon inside of backpack might be a good solution. When person cought by an avalanche balloons goes up with a long rope attached to a person. In this case locating a person wouldn't be a big deal. See the usual problem...

Yes, I agree with you chances to be rescued are slightly better. About "research" that these company have done, hmmm, I am a bit sceptical, companies do such reseach to boost sales, they don't do any real science. There are couple of serious snow and ice research centers in Switserland, Norway...
