Haha, there is ALWAYS a reason for buying something. Sure, you buy whatever you want, but there is a reason you want something. If there wasn't a reason you wanted something, then you wouldn't buy it in the first place. So, yes, you do have to justify your choices, whether to yourself or anyone...
That's more like it Maxwell! I'd give a slight edge to the Doo because of the power, but I wouldn't say it really shines over the Pro. Both great sleds, and our group always consists of a mixture of both sleds, aren't too many places one sled can get without the other following, and usually when...
I have a second shovel on my tunnel bag for stucks as well, but it's nice if a buddy shows up to dig, he can just undo a couple buckles on your pack and the shovel is free, without anyone having to take their backpack off. Never had an issue with snow filling up that pouch on the back. Maybe the...
Are you talking a 174 Doo over a 163 Pro again, or same track length? I have no problems taking my 155 Pro through the tress slowly, and stopping in the tress. I would like a 63 (not even sure what brand yet) for my next sled, so that I can slow things down just a touch more in the trees. The...
What a shame it would be to have snow in a shovel, haha. I used to use the Snowpulse Life bag, and I hated having the shovel on the inside. It takes that much longer to get the shovel out of the bag for getting unstuck. Then the shovel goes back in the bag, usually with snow stuck on it, and it...
Wary is going out of business though. Great deal, but buyer beware you won't be getting any support on the purchase. A good dealer may still take care of you though.
Oct 1 is the fact that the rubber compound in Summer/All Season don't operate well below 7C. It easily gets below that in October, even Sept at night. Don't think those signs are meant for those running studs, as that would probably be a minority.
I run the Nokian Rotiiva, which are the All...
Are you comparing a 155 Pro to a 162 Cat? Or like for like? Just the brand difference will have an effect when it comes to the ski pull, as the Pro certainly gets on the snow better than the cat. I rode a cat (162 Proclimb) for a day 2 seasons ago and found that I got stuck more easily, in...
I was told this weekend I need to come up and sled the Powder King area. I guess I'm marrying into a good family when they want you to come to their cabin there and go sledding.
Sent a long time ago, from a Galaxy S5 far far away.
Official numbers from Kicking Horse for the day. 12cm up top and sticking on the ground to below mid mountain.

Hey Chris, at your clinic 2 seasons ago you were talking about the possibility of adding an advanced only clinic somewhere. Is this something that you are still thinking of doing, or would I have to make the trip to Whistler to do that with you? And damn, I can't make any of those.
I saw something on Facebook this morning that Kicking Horse got around 10cm last night at the top.
As far as snow where I am. GOOD NEWS! I have a couple cms on the ground at about 200m above sea level! BAD NEWS, I'm about 220 km NE of Yellowknife...
