Hat’s off to you sledders that are ridin’ hard through this little temp episode. I have to confess that I don’t ride nearly as much in cold weather any more. I must have been tougher a few decades back.
Funny! I guess that technically, it’s more of an airfoil, the intent of which is unknown.
Between the weather and the terrain, there was probably no worse beating than a running a cross-country race on a leafer. Come to think of it, the trail riding wasn’t much different.
No doubt the clothing has improved dramatically in terms of functionality and warmth but style, that’s a more open question. This shot of my wife doing a little drift busting in about 74 says it all: one-piece suit, scarf, stocking cap under the metal flake bowling ball helmet, she’s got it all goin’ on.
Did Allouette share this chassis for awhile?

Buddy rented cabin on Gogebic. Not sure, we lost one but think have replacement. Know more tomorrow.

As far as I know, the RT/RTX design that came out in the 72 model year was unique to (Coleman) Skiroule. I'm sure there was a lot of design cross-pollinating though. Allouette was a pretty cool sled and the race versions are still bringing big money.
Enjoy the new ride!
That's cool, have a great Ride!
I'm trying to be in the far Eastern U.P., if I get that far west I will check in with Polaris Dan too.

You should try Canada once!
cold riding--- I think it was on the edge of not being very smart, but the group I rode with --- Feb 1 1996, Ash River, north of Tower at -60 over night, rode everyday, (we were smart enough to not ride much after dark), we stopped periodically and check each other for any frostbite. Stopped at Kettle Falls Hotel, Ranger would not let us leave until ALL frosted face gear was dried out. (He was smart) In the mornings, Challenge was to get tracks to spin after getting engines started, had to jack them up, two guys pulling on track, one guy running throttle. Resort owner said we should use outdoor hot tub to warm up, so we did. Resort owner had two friendly big lab dogs, Buford and Zachary, that insisted on staying in cabin with us. If you sat down, they were sure to climb in a lap . Maybe it was warmer than the floor (they were smart too
