What To Get The Kids For Xmas

[Fatdaddy]

Looking at getting the kids a couple sleds for xmas. Our riding is 98% in the mtns. so I want something for them that will work for that. I must also add that we ride cats :d but are willing to except change. I was thinking something like the M5 or M6 but are tough to find. Not alot on the selling market. What do you guys / gals think about the 4 stroke Phazer? The kids are 11 & 13. Thanks

I'm trying to find a skidoo Freestyle Backcountry for my 8yr old. The RF chassis is a great mid size sled. they come in a 300 or 550 depending on the model. Not a cat but my 2 cents!:d

The M5 will be a fantastic choice.

I have 13 and 14 yr old girls one on an M6 and the other on an M7, if I could have done it over I would have gone with 2 M6's, and in fact will likely try and replace the M7 with another M6 this winter.

My 13 yr old is about 90lbs and she handles the M6 no problem...

I would love one as well, but looked for 2 winters now, and the only ones I found were grossly overpriced...

my 9 year old is riding a 550 RMK 136 that I put a 2 inch track on and reverse. that little 550 fan gets him places and it is light. just my 2 cents!

Bought my daughters (10yrs & 8yrs old ) a 2010 550 RMK Trail for Christmas last year. Both of the girls like to go sledding but so far the oldest is doing most of thr driving.

Just throwing this out there, but I have 2 older machines, not too old though. a 500 and a 600. PM me for details if interested. Selling to buy an M7, or would trade the 2 for one. Perfect for kids. :d

Depends on the kids. My daughters are 8 an 10 and I would not put them on ours, they are still green. But I saw a kid at the Frisby cabin last year that could not have been more than 8 jumping and sidehilling a phazer. They are tippy and darty on the trail. They are also a bit heavy with the ski pressure so low speed steering effort is greater than a fan cooled sled, nothing like an Apex but more than a 550 fan cool. A ski upgrade might fix the darting and the low speed heavy steering.

Off the trail they handle great, easy to manuver, light steering, very responsive to weight shift. Fun sled.

As lang as they know to
