Sled Ski Touring

[norona]

We need a reset here on the coast but the sled skiing and then touring off the sled to get the cold snow has been super fun!!! Been farming this zone all week!

Dave- what are your thoughts on the new short tunnel on the expert package for sled skiing and towing toboggans?


Also- did Cheetah come up with a G4 Blade? I folded my tunnel slightly which led to cracks on the drop outs from the weight of skis.... Doo needs to come up with a solution for clients that want weight bearing on the tunnel.

Thanks- value your thoughts.

Nice zone-looks like Triconi-Seagrams and mtn in back is Cloudburst?

Well right now there are no bumpers for the Expert, this is not just a 146/154 tunnel from previous years, this tunnel is redesigned and new, which is why you cant just put a snowflap on it from 2017-2019 likewise with the removable snowflap as there is no aluminum piece that flaps down at the end. The bumpers for 146/154 2017-2019 will not fit on it, nor will aftermarket. So right now the linq ski/snowboard attachment wont work and nor will towing, i am working on this with them now. There is a snowflap coming that will be an accerssory if guys want or need it. If a bumper is not ready I will just run the Cheetah rack. I have no idea if Dave has a blade for the G4, you have to ask him, but never had an issue with the weight but you have to slow down through rough whoops when you are carrying that much weight, easy to mitigate as far as i am concerned.

The short tunnel although called the expert, will make a new rider much better and they wont even know, if the 2020 is their first sled, how much your tunnel holds you back. The removable snow flap makes a huge difference and this is leap years more than that. Many people don't realize that all that snow going back into the tunnel, and the difference that makes to slowing down the track due to the amount of snow but also the vacum it creates. If you ride a snowbike and compare the yeti to the timbersled, it is why the yeti is lighter and better in many ways but the vacum it causes due to one solid piece of carbon compared to how the snow evacuates out of the sided etc of the timberlsed. Many people think that you have to have the sled in the wheelie position or do 180 pivot turns to notice the tunnel, that is not true, just riding in any deep snow makes a huge difference.Remember every sled ski doo produces has to help the lowest common denominator, the newest rider, it then also helps everyone to the best rider, so dont think the expert is only for experts, it is called the expert package as it will make a new rider feel like and expert due to the fact the sled rides way easier and does things that were once considered super hard and to be done by only those withe high skill easier. cheers dave
