anywhere to sled in july??

[ThrottleOps]

I just got the word from my dealer that my sled is shipping this week and now its got me wondering if there is anywhere a guy can ride in the summer??? Alaska?? anywhere in bc?? has anyone done summer riding?

 

[ASSAULTrmk]

Brohm maybe !!!

 

[neilsleder]

Maybe around Whistler bc. It would have to be on a glacier I would think. What sled are you getting that its being shipped already?

 

[powderpilot]

Lots of riding in BC in July! I've ridden Boulder in July, and Meadow Mountain, North of Kaslo in August. And there's always water cross. There are not too many legal events in Canada, but there is a huge circuit in the States

Can you imagine the look on the manufacturer warranty rep's eyes if you made a warranty claim on a 14' in August? Lmao!!

Ive got a 2014 m8 ltd es 162 in black and white that's shipping, dealer said I can leave it there till fall or pick it up... so im tossing around the idea of a summer trip with it!

As soon as you take possession your warranty starts.....I would wait until 15 min before your first trip in the fall/winter....but that's just me.

Not sure on Cats warranty but BRP 's starts on Dec. 1st for units picked up before that date Dave.

I bought my m1000 From T&T and the warranty started dec1. Come to think of it maybe that's why when it blew up at the end of November they didn't warranty it lol!

I guess the hardest part to riding in the summer is getting access to the snow line. Like mentioned earlier, glaciers are a good start but getting there is a problem. Last year couple of Calgary die hards were down to the Koots and rode Harvey but that won't happen this year. With the warm April weather and the rain, the snow is pretty much gone. There was snow at the new cabin last year in early August and it is gone already this year. Go figure......

There's no inservice date ( within a few days from the paperwork and pickup dates ) ?

Ahhh ok...I always void the warranty before it leaves the dealer anyways...so I never really pay attention...hahaha

There is a sale date and a pickup date on the registration to the manufacturer but BRP does not penalize you for that as December is a universal snow month pretty much everywhere (prairie and mountain). Any riding done before December is free. I'm pretty sure the other manufacturers are the same.

LMAO theres lots to ride still. Problem is takin a new machine down gravel roads sometimes for aways. Creek xings chance of bustin chit up real good with not much cushion beneath. Better to wait and avoid fawken up the new ride.

should be some creeks or lakes to ride where you live.

Meadow Mountain had a bad culvert washout end of may, not sure if it is repaired yet.

Pemberton Ice fields are good all year. There is a big glacier near Golden, think its part of the Columbia Ice fields? Rode it in august before. Im doing a trip there soon,,, once I get my turbo finished so I can tinker with it.

Going to tow the sleds with a side by side as close to the snow as possible. Might not want to do a summer run on a brand new sled tho,, but thats your call.

 

[SidewaysInto3rd]

pemby ice fields access is pretty hard / impossible from what I understand

we rode brohm ridge with no access issues (no gravel or creeks) last weekend. t shirts and shorts ! boo yah. Unload at the snow and go. Gotta love the coast





That way to the beach baby!



2 years ago we rode brohm July 31st. That's my record for late riding.

 

[lilduke]

Pemberton Ice fields arent that easy to get too without a helicopter,, Lots of helicopters around tho.

Op ill keep you posted. Looking at going august long week end maybe? If you wanna tag along thats cool.
