2018 Edmonton Snowmobile Show - what do you want?

[snochuk]

WHAT!? You're not sporting your grape purple/ pink Choko jacket to go with your cat this year?

Sorry never had one.
Have to get the modern version.

Creepin me out with your constant concern of my clothing.
School's open, go hang out where you can get arrested......again.

Now back on topic please.

I need new boots for this season. So see what they have at the show.

Hoping to see an Alpha at the show. As I couldn't make it to demo days. I'd like to see one in person.

And I'm considering looking at the Avy Bags. I'd hate to retire my old SOS bag as it's still in really good shape. But I also need to get with the times and upgrade.

As well as coats. My FXR jacket is 13yrs old. And starting to wear out at the zippers and pockets.

X2 on the goggles for me and maybe score a TOBE one piece from last years stock. Oh and of course buy one of them rare sweet Snow And Mud hoodies haha

The previous year's stock on the Tobe's is what myself And 2 others did all in consecutive years. After 2 seasons it's still holding up well and keeps me dry. If I remember correctly I paid $575 or something like that?? Under $600 for sure. Pretty good if I can get another couple years out of it. But definitely prefer pants and light top for the May trips.

Since this will be my first year in the sport/leisure activity/hopefully occasionally pucker inducing world of sledding, I'm starting with almost nothing (except a full compliment of excellent winter clothing as I like to hike and camp year 'round). So, my must haves are a new sled with some options, a trailer to haul said sled, self recovery tools and a snowmobile helmet with heated visor or heated goggles that will fit my motorcycle helmet (definitely looking for opinions on MC helmet versus sled-specific helmet). Some possibilities are bits for the trailer (fuel cans etc.), a wall tent with stove, a toboggan, various shiny things that I will undoubtedly be attracted to like a crow to glittery rock, maybe some T shirts and/or sweatshirts and a new ball cap. I also want to talk to as many people as I can about where to ride, formal lessons, hard lessons they learned and any advice they/you all have and a club or clubs to join. Finally, I'll keep an open mind on other gear/equipment I come across......and of course I would be up for $2 beer but I'm not holding my breath.

Fuel rack and storage bag for my new sled. Also a new pair of boots

Welcome to the wonderful world of awesomeness. The show should be great for you for sure. All types of people to talk to and everyone is super happy and in a good mood. Should have no problem finding all you need. There's even guys that load up there sleds on their sled decks so they look super rad in the parking lot so you know they be hardcore. haha

 

[Frankenytro]

I love those guys! Last year there was a guy reving his cat right up to engagement on the deck, I think just to show off the strength of his superclamp... or maybe so everyone knew that not only did he have a can on his kitty he also had a v8 diesel under it with a newfound land decal on the back window lmfao! Everyone around him was in awe of the awesomeness in our presence.

pair of bibs, probably KLIM but not sure if it is worth the trip. wasn't overly impressed with last years show to make the drive and hotel worth the savings on a pair of pants.

 

[Ryeser]

In my experience, if you get there when the doors open on Friday and be one of the first into Martin's, you will find a good deal. Gotta move fast tho' because the good prices don't last long (particularly in the average sizes). There always seems to be XS and XXXL.

I want the parking to be free and the beers $2 each!

I'm going for a couple beers. That's all my budget allows this year.

There's a saying floating around that the younger guys may not know about..............."you chit your friends and I'll chit mine but let's not chit each other!"
