That's pretty sharp young man, showroom condition, but not for long

Thanks Fred! Hopefully will have some high res shots of this thing airborne by next week,, see how things pan out though.

Looks good, can't wait to see what they look like in the snow!

I'll admit, a 3inch track and a ton more HP would have been pretty nice today. Working that Freeride hard in this pow!

Do you find the snow heavy today ? I found it harder to pull hills that are normally easy more sugary then yesterday I think

A little heavy, but really nice snow. Hard going though. We dropped down into one spot that took us an hour to climb back out of!

Nothing like having to make a highway to get out throttle to the bars lakes area can be great for that on deep days love it!

White out conditions,,, deep azzzz snow.... 10 hours later got his sled off the mountain..... Oh boy....lol

Oh not too far back, kinda above the tower. But,, 100 sleds on the hill and we were the furthest tracks back.
Don't think anyone else made it past Alberta hill and there was tons of sleds just stuck on the lake out in front of the Cabin...lol

So we had our work cut out for us. The motor blew up and if he left it for a nicer day it would have been buried till spring.

I hope it keeps dumping! I'm leaving for Revy Friday morning!! You'll stick out like a sore thumb on the new sled Dan lol.

I was there when the motor went on shaedes sled he was doubling with someone up the hill when the motor seized. Long day for us we ended up having 5 guys for 3 sleds going out didn't get to the trucks until around 6. we tried to tow it out with one sled but couldn't get more than 20 ft.

I am not brand bashin', but with all the Popo's I have had towed, it must be the hard riding we do that will cause any machine to break down. And that's all I have to say about that.

Today was decent.

It had 6500 km's on it, so that's respectable. Still on warranty too
