Abandoned Polaris

[sdsnocop]

Riding with a group today that came across a Polaris Dragon stuck and abandoned off trail South of Trailshead. I did not see it since I had to take an alternative route around the ridge since the snow was too deep for my Mountain Cat to make the climb. I will check the sled out on Friday when I am back to work. Anyone know anything about this sled?

It's a dragon, not much more to say!

My guess they are bringing back parts to fix it on the hill. Just a guess

Prolly got stuck late day, so doubled up and out? Maybe they'll get it tomorrow or something. That deep still? awesome!

If it is a white dragon that is ours. We are going out sat morning to try and dig it out. I was wondering how long it would be before someone ran across it and posted about it!!! I am surprised that it isn't completely buried. Duane send me a PM and I can give you more info. Jayme

Still riding the 2011 600 e-tech Summit for work. 7500 miles (should have 8500 miles if it were not for shop time). It is amazing how technology have improved our capability to handle the steep and deep. In basic observation there should not be much difference between a 2001 600 Mountain cat 144 and a 2011 Summit 600 146. However for me they are no comparison in handling deep snow. Combination of much improved technology and experience (500 miles on the 1M chassis and 16000 miles on the XP chassis). However I was able to stay with the group riding 800 e-techs 154-163, Polaris Pro RMK 800 155 and AC M-8's except for the 1 hill that led to your sleds.

10 years make a huge difference in sleds, plus you could add a couple years to that since you are moving from cat to skidoo.

Just save your time and go straight to Polaris!!!

No thanks, I will ride my cheap old Arctic Cat for fun and whatever low bid sled the State buys for patrol.
