Damn, not a mountain, or even a hill in sight. What kind of fun is that?:dontknow:
I know nothing about sleds...but it seems to me that those engines must be really accessible and easy to work on. Since you have a blow up...does that not tempt you to rebuild yourself and go all out with modifications?

It's nice to see that my Northern friends have a little snow this year... I thought about buying a snowmobile for many years, but I just couldn't justify spending $8+k on something I could only ride about 3 times per year (in Michigan). :dontknow: They sure do look like fun tho. :rock:

I see snowmobiles on the asphalt at Great Lakes Drag Strip running in the 10's all day...
Very quick, very scary!

Unless they have made some improvements in the last few years, it does no good to increase the HP beyond the 150HP range. The drive belt between the engine and clutch cannot hold much beyond that.
Kinda like the oem clutch on our RC's!

It's Saskatoon.Silverback said:Damn, not a mountain, or even a hill in sight. What kind of fun is that?:dontknow:
Not BC.
To us Americans, that's like asking someone in Kansas, "Where are all the mountains?"

i use to race snocross and thats a blast, and you can't compare to the mountains but there are some hills, but you get the drifts in the ditches can get crazy. With my sled being a snocross sled there is not a lot of mods you can do to it, although clutching is important, and how light it is makes a big difference, and with the new yamaha 4 strokes you have sleds that have turbos running from 200 hp to over 500 hp depending on how much money you want to throw at it
Sorry to hear it, but to be honest, I was hoping (by the title of the thread) to see some engine carnage.:dontknow:mxzx440 said:
Years ago we rode those things out in the mountains of You-Taw. Fun Stuff!:rock: Don't get enough snow to justify owning one here.

Sledding in the mountains
I used to live in Saskatoon and have fond memories of there. Thought I just share a couple of pics from two years ago, sledding in Sicamous BC Mountains, great fun (but lots of shoveling out when stuck).View attachment 22036
