Summit 850: Ratchet, Slap, Rocks and Carnage!!

[Chadly]

Wow
That must be nice.
Latest I have ever pulled off a ride is May 23rd here.
And it was HOT and SLOPPY snow.

Parked the trailer in the morning in snow and rode into the mountains.
By the end of the day I was FIVE MILES of Volcanic Ash from the last snow to the parked trailer. The snow line had retreated that far over the course of the day.

That is awesome. I just laughed my *** off!

You can ride year round here (ALASKA); IF you want to either chopper to, or set up a camp on one of the many Ice fields (no road access).

Latest ride to my knowledge (never leaving snow) from the highway over Thompson Pass was the 4th of July in the early 2000's. But that takes an awesome snow year.

September 30th same area different yr.
35miles from my house, drive to the snow and unload.
There is a skidoo summit in this pic (to make it seem less derailed)hit lots of rocks and trees, bulkhead is still good.

I actually really enjoy the off season. Winter I am all in on sleds than I switch to boating and golf. Right now I really have no interest in boating but will start getting excited in a couple months. I think I would burn out on anything I could do all year.

Perhaps.
But just to have the BRAGGING RIGHTS that you pulled off an ON-SNOW ride every month of the year would be pretty sweet.

Ha ya that would be pretty cool. I am a powder snob though if it isn't real good I don't go even in winter months.

But this does give the sled a run for it's money on fun...

I know that boat well.
I moved to Idaho from Lake Havasu where I used to manage Stealth Marine. My dad owns Cheatah Boats.

I used to be on that lake 5 days a week for many years...

This was my baby..

Wow! what a small world, I go to Havasu a lot boat is there now. Very cool to know that, why did you move to Idaho? What do you do up there?

 

[turboless terry]

Wow, I would post up a picture of my boat but it is only 12 feet long with a supercharged Rotax. Feeling a little inadequate at the moment.

You know I have had just as much fun on old run down boats with power bait smashed into the seats as I have had on my current boat. As long as you are out there on the water it is all good. Snowmobiles not so much I have way more fun on my cheater sled than old ones.

Was ready for a total lifestyle change.
Sold the boats and the JetSkis and got into sledding.

While I used to ride my Sea-Doos on a nearly daily basis at the lake, there is NO WAY I would trade my sleds away to go back to the Sea-Doos.

MUCH PREFER the Ski-Doo to the Sea-Doo.

 

[turboless terry]

That the problem. You had sea doo's. They don't make stand ups. That's our main summer gig. I have 2 kawasaki sxr's and a krash footrocket. I get bored too fast on sit downs.

Technology has come a long ways since my PWC. I would LOVE to take one of these new 300hp units out for a spin.

High volume dealer in Oregon says out of 100 G4's they sold they have had one broken bulkhead as of Friday. Guy with a rock size of a VW going 40 down a chute. We have more than normal snow depth so far.
