The Buzz About The Phazer MTX
Many times, when there is talk about which sleds are ideal for those who want to break into mountain riding, the discussion usually focuses on the 600 class or sometimes even the mountain fan class, which is down to one machine for 2010.

FEATURE
M1000 still biggest stock sled on earth
The 2010 Arctic Cat M1000 comes to the market as a warmed-over 2009—not that that is a bad thing by any stretch, as the ‘09 M1000 was bestowed with some major improvements over the previous year’s model.

FEATURE
10 Simple Ways To Improve Clutch Performance
It seems like there is always one guy in every group whose sled runs just a little bit better than everybody else’s. What does he do different than you? After all, you’re running the same sled with the same parts, you have the same track and you even weigh the same. The difference probably lies in the clutches.

COLUMN
Good Ideas/Bad Ideas
A couple of years ago I was off doing the “magazine guy’s job” of riding on assignment with a group of snowmobilers. It was your typical ride where I was trying to get enough photos and information to write a story while several members of the group were busy showing off their skills in hopes of being recognized as the next greatest snowmobiler ever.

FEATURE
Economic State Of The Mountain 600 Class
It wasn’t too many years ago that fan-cooled sleds and then the liquid-cooled 500cc machines were the economy class of mountain snowmobiles. They were a relative bargain compared to other mountain sleds and they were fairly inexpensive to maintain. Those machines weren’t intimidating and they seemed to have the right horsepower for those looking to get a foot in the door of this winter sport that hard core snowmobilers were raving about. All those features also made those sleds a favorite among snowmobile rental outfits.

Whose Job Is It?
I was sitting in a lecture hall at a local university the other day and noticed a bank of burned out lights in the ceiling.

FEATURE
Mountain 4-Strokes
Twenty-ten was shaping up to be a significant model year for four-stroke mountain sleds. It still is, but what did (or didn’t) happen was enough to make us at SnoWest separate the four-stroke mountain sleds out from the two-strokes, bunch them together and compare them head-to-head. But here we are in the October issue and all we really have to cover are the Yamaha FX Nytro MTX and Apex MTX.

COLUMN
Too Good To Last?
When Idaho’s legislators finally brokered a deal with Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter on how to fund needed work on our state’s deteriorating highways, they did so with some deft sleight of hand, moving the money from one place to another in a classic shell game.

FEATURE
Dream Machines
Dream along with us here for a minute. Imagine this scene: a mountaintop somewhere in the West. From this mountaintop you can see nothing but mountains in every direction and nary a track in sight. There are two and a half to three feet of fresh, untracked powder covering a decent base with bluebird skies overhead. The conditions are absolutely perfect for a day of sledding.

FEATURE
Challenges Of 2008-09 Affect 2010 Models
As this winter unfolded, the snowmobile industry found out something that many of us probably believed could never happen—if we had snow, snowmobiles would sell and people would be out riding.
