Welcome to the site! what kind of sled did you get?:d

 

[RUDY]

just picked up an 06 M7efi,141 has a can otherwise stock.I have no experience in the mountains but wanna go up there to try it out.Can't wait for the snow

 

[NosRX1]

I hear`ya we need snow!! I will be going on a ride in dec/jan with a couple buddies that never rode a sled before...both cowboys that think if it can't be done on the back of a horse it ain't worth doing...lol. But they said they would try it out so it should be a good laugh. If I have room on that trip your more then welcome to join in on the laughs!!:d

 

[RUDY]

where you planning on going?I would love to get out if possible ASAP,but i guess i better buy some gear first..lol
Never had a sled for awhile never needed it,hate being the guy wearing all the gear and having no sled,but now i can say i have one...yeee hawww

Welcome 'welder488' to Snow and Mud. keep hanging around this site & U will soon find lots of peeps to ride with.

 

[NosRX1]

it will most likely be Mcbride, Valemont, or blue river. No worries they will need gear too...lol, and I am not talking boots and spurs!!:d

 

[RUDY]

That's the plan

Here is a good thread on what guys bring to the mountains with them, don't let it scare you off..it all makes sense after a ride out there.

yeah seems a little overwelming at first but alot of that stuff isn't very expensive and the shovel, probe, beacon and avy pack can be rented .

 

[RUDY]

where are some places they can be rented at?

 

[polcat]

most of the popular riding destinations have a place or places that rent out safety gear and some dealers here in edmonton .

 

[NosRX1]

If we end up going to Mcbride Spindrift Motor sports will have rental beckons, as for the other stuff there is an HMK backpack that comes with shovel, and probe I have seen them for around 149.00 to 169.00. Good luck I am leaving for Houston on sunday and will be back the 9th, there is a couple others that may want to come out for a rip at that time. I will keep you posted.:d

 

[RUDY]

sounds good to me,have fun in Houston
