    Just got back from a week at our cabin near Finland. Had some great riding. Got up there on Monday and rode everydat except Thursday as it rained most of the day. Trails are still in great shape, got 4-6" on Friday night and some friends near Isabella said they got 6" on Thursday night also. Had...

    XC120 Clutch issues

    Looking for some 120 experts. On my kids 120 the clutch is sticking. When we first start it we have to have the rear end of the ground as the track will spin instantly and if you hit the brakes to stop the track it will kill the sled.. After running it for awhile it will gradually loosen up and...

    Getting excited!

    Leaving in a couple of hrs for the first ride of the year. A friend and I are just heading up to the cabin today for a quick ride with our sons. His sled has not made it home from his last 2 rides (burn downs) so he's hoping to keep it running while I hope to have to tow that dang ski doo in...

    Playing in the snow

    We ended up with about 6-8" here in Cloquet. Made some laps around the yard, went sliding, and then decided to combine the two sports.

    Doing my part to stimulate the economy

    Just trying to help out Detroit. They are actually giving great deals on 2010's now. I paid less for this truck than I paid for the identical 2004. Wife picked out the color but I did notice it matches my sled.

    July on the north shore

    Spent most of the month of July at our cabin in Finland MN. My wife and kids played the whole time while I was lucky enough to comute the 65 miles to Duluth and back every day. And I would personally like to thank MN DOT for tearing up every road I had to drive on! But I digress, we had a great...

    Sad day for Polaris

    Just saw on the news that Polaris is closing their Osceola, WI plant and will be moving many of it's manufacturing processes to a new plant in Mexico. I used to work at this plant so I feel bad for all the employees there. Not sure how many employees they have there now but when I was there we...

    Going riding in the morning

    Just kidding, but the yard is white and it's still snowing hard. My son already asked if we could get the 120 out tomorrow.

    Pinewood derby car

    My son had his Pinewood derby last week. When I asked him what he wanted for a car he said a "boom truck" like I build at work. So that's what we did. Not very aerodynamic but it actually did pretty well. I think we were about .02 seconds out of winning any hardware but at least it made it to...

    St Urho's Day, Finland, MN

    We ran up to the cabin today to pick up the sleds and bring them home for the summer. It's ST Urho's weekend and today was the parade. Quite a festive event for a town of 50 people. We saw Miss Helmik (she's choosen from a drag contest the night before) and lot's of other scary things but it...

    North Shore 3/6

    Got up to the cabin for another weekend of riding. My dad came up for the weekend so that was fun. 72 and still snowmobiling. We only rode on Saturday and headed up the Moosewalk trail to start and it was in very good shape. Snow was very soft but gotta expect that when it's mid 40's. Rode a...

    North Shore 2/26-28

    Got up to the cabin this weekend and had some great riding. Rode up into the Isabella area and near Lake Isabella and ran some rivers and forest roads. Ran into a surprising amount of plowed forest roads which sucked. Trails were all very good. The sun is doing damage on the plowed forest roads...

    Big Horns Trip

    Well, we made it back from our trip on Wed. morning. Had a great time!! The new 600 RMK ran great, took out an a arm on a rock the first day though. Luckily the rental place at Bear Lodge had them so I replaced it. Although it will be a perfect sled for the type of riding I do, a 600 with a 144...

    My new ride

    Here it is. Just picked it up this afternoon and have 3 whole miles on it. Hope to go get 30-40 tomorrow night before I load it up and head to WY with it on Friday. Although it's only 20lbs lighter than my 06 it feels a lot lighter. I think the improvements they made to lighten up the steering...

    New sled - quick question

    Finally pulled the trigger on a new sled. Picking up a 2010 600 RMK 144" tomorrow and taking it west on Friday. So my question is I need to get a spare belt. I was looking online and see the belt for this thing is over $175. I also see the 600 IQ and Switchback run a belt with the same center...

    changing jets

    Holy crap, just got done rejetting my 06 600 switchback for going out west next week. They sure have made this a lot tougher than it used to be. This used to be a 15 minute job, now it took 15 minutes just to get the dang airbox out. Then another 15 minutes to get carbs to where I could work on...
