    Yellowstone Trip

    Be aware that you can't take your sleds inside the park (unless they happen to be ones that qualify). Anything outside the National Park is fair game, but there are restrictions on what you can take inside the park + you have to win a lottery spot as they only allow 4 un-guided groups in per...

    West Yellowstone trip

    VRBO or Air BNB as recommended for a larger group. The Yellowstone / Island Park area is pretty commercialized, so lodging typically is not a problem. Unless the snow is super good, typically you can find a cabin a couple of weeks in advance from what I've seen. Jan 2017, We stayed at a guys...

    West Yellowstone trip

    Great pics. We rode the area 5-6 yrs ago. Other than the 24hr ride in the truck, the area was awesome. Lots of trails if you are into that and plenty of places to wonder off when you want too. Awesome memories you are making with your son. That's what it's all about IMO!!!!

    How was your riding season ?

    Our favorite place to ride (The Black Hills, SD) had the worst snow season on record. We should have adapted and chased the snow, but kept holding out for a big storm out there which never happened. One trip up to MN in blistering cold (-13) which the kid couldn't handle. LOL! Got out for one...

    gear

    Don't sleep on Fly. Reasonably priced and solid gear. If you attend Hay Days, you can get some AWESOME "last season" deals if you go to the right booths.

    Is there an app for John Dee?

    Not an app (that I'm aware of), but there is a Facebook page > John Dee's Snow Central.

    stay on your side of the trail

    I do the same. Stop or crawling at best every time a group comes by. Corners I'll hug our side of the trail to the point I might go right off the side. LOL! My son thinks I'm crazy, but I'll take it over an accident. I've also trained him to start standing on the OUTSIDE running board. He...

    stay on your side of the trail

    This is all over FB. Guy on wrong side of trail (Doo) was on a rental (big surprise). AC group had just stopped before this and were going to switch lead sled, but one was running poorly so they didn't. His old man would have taken this hit had they done that. AC rider said he went off on...

    Trailer repair????

    Thanks for the update. I have a couple of misc. parts still needed to wrap up my trailer. Wasn't having much luck with my local Triton dealer. I might give them a call to see if they could ship out what I need. Good luck with the repairs, but sounds like you are in good hands.

    Trailer repair????

    Couldn't agree more. The TC167 is the absolute best 2-place configuration trailer available in my opinion. They are awesome. Light, low profile and not super long or wide. As long as your sleds have reverse, why do you need a drive out v-nose making your trailer 3-4ft longer? Not to mention...

    Trailer repair????

    Just to give you an idea... Last Summer my insurance (Progressive) quoted $7700 for total loss on my 2018 TC167. That's $2700 more than I paid for the trailer (used, like new). Feel like I robbed the guy based on what these things are going for now days.

    Trailer repair????

    Adhesive is no joke, that’s for sure! And I’ll give it to Triton, they hit every. Single. Contact. Point. Didn’t miss a one!!!! But honestly not that bad to remove with a heat gun + putty knife. Had all 5 panels off in a hour. I was impressed enough with the adhesive that I paid out the butt...

    Trailer repair????

    Regarding Triton helping with parts, etc. I contacted them directly several times. They will not sell you anything, but refer you to their certified dealers. They can also provide part#s on most parts. Regardless of what you do, you'll want the manual (attached) that has ALL of the part...

    Trailer repair????

    Re-skinned my TC167 this past Fall due to hail storm. Love the trailer sooooo much, there was no way I was letting insurance total it out!!! New they are $10k+ now days!!!!! Only the side walls had significant damage. The panels I found on e-bay were a perfect match (.030 thickness, color and...

    New trucks

    Seems a good deal in this new world is getting MSRP w/o markup. I'd never even step foot in a dealership that is doing market adjustments over MSRP. That is just shady as shit and taking advantage of the situation IMO. Just bought a new Explorer for the wife in November. Zero negotiating on...

    Problem with my 2006 rmk

    Interesting. Had a 2008 600 RMK that did the same thing from time to time. Never did have it looked as it seemed to work the majority of the time. Watch some YouTube videos on how to start a sled via the primary just in case you need to do it. LOL!

    2015 Polaris Axys Skid Removal

    Videos will get you most of the way. Honestly, the last time I pulled a skid (earlier this fall), I tried for the first time the "put the sled on it's side" technique and was absolutely surprised how much easier it made it! I have a hoist in the shop and previously had always tried to just...

    Where to buy gear?

    Absolute best deals are at Hay Days. Yes, some vendors bring their latest and greatest, but if you walk around you can still find "last season" gear for super cheap at the right booths. Just takes some walking. Fly gear in particular you can find real cheap at the right booths. But that...

    Yellowstone Tour On Sleds

    We rode Island Park / West Yellowstone area a few years ago. Two of our friends took a day and did the park tour. The others chose to keep riding the steep and deep outside the park. My opinion only, but the restrictions are kind of a racket (sounds like they are finally making some changes)...
