May I be the first to say you should be looking at some good gear. Avalanche beacon, shovel, probe, good backpack. And often overlooked is the basic gear. Do yourself a huge favor and get some good gear. You'll thank yourself if you're stranded for a while, or if a storm comes in (I could go on...). And ensure you KNOW how to use your avalanche gear. Whether or not you choose to take an avy course is up to you... I'm not going to preach about it. After all of this is considered... THEN focus on getting yourself a more mountain-adapted sled.

Spent four years in Vancouver(Surrey/Delta actually), never even gave a thought about buying a sled. Got married in Victoria......good luck trying to find snow enough on the island for sleddin'. I'm guessing Whistler/Pemberton to be the closest "good" sledding. Quad or dirt bike would be ok i guess. Good luck.

Please stop it with the "what yamaha should i buy or what is a good sled" you have put MULTIPLE threads that all about the exact same thing and i HATE to sound like a @$$hole but this is getting really old buddy......For the time being ride what you have and enjoy it and wait until you actually live in a place to obsess over what u need to buy and or ride.

THANK YOU

Thank you Dez. I agree, if i had nothing better to do i would look and come up with a number for the threads youve started like this. Its a little bit ridiculous man.

You wanna know what to buy

Step one- Find a good deal
Step two- Consider what your buying, i know for you it might be a little tough if it isnt blue and a yamaha.
Step 3- Pay for sled
Step 4- Ride

I dont mean to be a prick, But youve had all the insight anyone could want when it comes to what sled you should buy so just drop it. And stop making threads about the same thing. It makes it hard to find something your looking for and takes up space


Have a happy day:)

well you asked Randy and he said it was a good sled so what more do you wanna know?

Ask Jesus in his prayers! lol. That there sled will blow up the second you blip the throttle. The track will fly apart if it even moves an inch. Even if it does move an inch, there's no chance it will climb even a 1% grade. It's essentially useless in each and every respect. Is that what you expected to hear when you asked if there's anything wrong with the sled?.. Sorry. Couldn't stop myself. lol.

Hey give this kid a break, he seems very passionate about this sport and his Yamaha sled, at least hes on this site asking stupid questions and not stealing sleds for a buck to smoke crack, i hope.When your old enough to get a job and save your moneys you can buy what you want, until then ride what you got man and enjoy.
