    How’s this for you guys

    Indy sorry to hear this, but most importantly she was ok! My 13-year-old put his sled on its side in ice conditions on Dec 29th. It was a light roll, just on the side and the sled was 100% fine. My son however broke his arm. Cast just came off on the 10th and we go Wed to see if he is fully...

    Biggest year in modern snowmobiling

    I thought of a few other things. Not that these are anything of an engineering marvel but the fact that it gets kids involved with the sport... 120 and now 200 are great for the kids. My boys really enjoyed there 120! The Equinox 685 snow coach. I know Cat had snow cutters and others had...

    Snow Removal

    Well I'm in NW Indiana, so not apples to apples. I had my dads old 8/24 Toro then ended up with a Craftsman DLT2000 with a 42" Blade it did ok... for like 10 years. In 2010 I bought a Superplow and loved it but I bought it with the Idea it would make the job faster, and it did but then I soon...

    Enclosed trailer purchase.. looking for help

    Thanks, yours sounds nice too! So I was just using a 1500W electric heater, first night is a bit chilly but not bad I have tent camped in colder... But once up to temp it sits between 60 and 65. I would not want it any warmer than that anyway. In the summer my friends joke my trailer could be...

    Enclosed trailer purchase.. looking for help

    One thing I forgot is depending on how big you go you might want a weight distribution hitch. I use Andersen Hitch The guy that had the trailer before me used it because he would sometimes pull it with a class C motorhome. Honestly, when I'm fully loaded I can tell a difference in how it pulls...

    Enclosed trailer purchase.. looking for help

    To answer your question plus some others I've received about the trailer and things I have thought about I've tried to lay out some points below. So first I have a 2014 - 7.5'x27' R&R 7522PSD The trailer tows great even in deep snow. I never had any problems with that. Size- Do I like my 7.5'...

    Biggest year in modern snowmobiling

    As Skiroule pointed out the rider froward has been around for a while. I was going to post a similar picture. LOL But while the REV was the first of the big 4 to design around rider position. I believe FAST with the Blade was really the first production model. Then the Redline Revolt was teased...

    Pine Lake Lodge Mission Helmet swapped out and taken

    How does that Mission fit you has it broken in some? I had a Arctic Cat TXI that fit great in a 3XL but everything else I'd like in a 4XL. I tried the Mission 3XL on last year but was worried with the cost... I have a Castle 3XL EXO-CX950 and it is tight... I saw CKX was coming out with a...

    Ride Light

    The Ride light, I always thought it would do better if integrated with the sled better. Not just an addon unless part of the hand guard. There was two company's that made similar products at one point. One was the ride light as talked about. Another was a small led number board that went right...

    Pine Lake Lodge Mission Helmet swapped out and taken

    I had a guy grab one of my buddy's helmets a few years ago, it was the same situation. The bar was packed (Bikini & Radar Run weekend in St Germain) and getting from one side to the other was not the fastest, I caught the guy outside, he was staying on the property and was looking for his cabin...

    R/C Ski-Doo and Polaris Rippers!

    I bought my kids one a number of years ago. More of a model on the shelf now but these are much more capable. For the purpose these are cool!

    Winter RV hook-up

    I was surprised too. They were never full. They of course cut down to maybe 30 sites. Of those, the most sites I ever saw filled were about half. For winter I thought that was good. They even had tent campers... I liked Krups when I was there did they open a bathhouse by chance?

    Winter RV hook-up

    Well I was just checking on camping for this winter at William Mitchell State Park in Cadillac and saw no sites available. Apparently, they have construction going on there this year so it will be closed and no plans to continue winter camping at the park for the future. For me that was my...

    Floor protection and pattern for inline trailer

    There are Caliber guides that have knobs on them. That is what I used on my doors and where I walk. Great traction for you or ATV, nice and slick and durable for the sleds...

    Just looking for some feedback on bluetooth communication headsets. which ones are good, which ones are no good??? Thanks in advanced.

    I bought the UCLEAR DIGITAL Motion Infinity Dual Helmet Communication System last year and love it I had the old-school Collett Communicators before that. Not sure if the range is as truly as far Collett Communicators but they have more than enough range. but the one huge differance its the...

    Floor protection and pattern for inline trailer

    I'll add to this, the prices can fluctuate by just a little to a lot even with the same seller. When I bought mine, I bought most of it through Amazon. Some listings were through Amazon some through 3rd party dealers. Buying the biggest pack was "normally" the most cost-effective route but I did...

    Large size boots?

    I've had good luck with the fit of Baffin in a 14. I had Sorels before this. The Sorels definitely were on the bigger and roomier side. But I really liked these... They fit more like a shoe. It does look like Baffin limits the styles in the 15 and up but there are options...

    Anybody gearing up for the opener?

    Indy, Great story and it's a memory, but I have the opposite of that but just as bad... 2003 or 4ish, we had a trip planned in February with two buddies (past HS at this point but all of us graduated together) This was going to be the first long trip for us Wed to Sunday. At this point, the...

    Riding 2-up on a renegade w/1+1 seat-comfortable?

    To give you an idea here is my son sitting on my sled with the 1+seat. I know it one the one you're looking for but might give you an idea. My son was 11 in this picture. I don't remember his weight at the time. He did not feel cramped however big bump days you had to slow way down like normal...
