Is there such a thing as a snowmobile raising kit? I have a 2001 Skidoo Summit 800 Highmark X (151') that seems to ride a little low. I was thinking of raising it up a little to reduce stucks in...

Is there any good reason I shouldn't run Polaris Premium Blue ($32/gal) instead of Ski-doo XPS ($45/gal) in my 2001 Ski-doo Summit 800 Highmark X?

His screaming may indicate exactly that....

So pumped

Link to dailymotion video of event is dead. Anyone have another one?

Well I'm a grad student (not law) so I'm hoping for and expecting the discount. All it says is valid student ID, nothing about having to be an undergrad.

Discovery is having a $30 college day tomorrow and claims 12in of new snow. They're opening tomorrow. Anyone want to carpool?

40+ deg and rain on the forecast in mid December... Thanks Obama...

Dey took r snow!

One that fits a probe might be a good idea too. I think they're usually 11mm.

Bump.

Anyone else with a sled need a BC partner to do some sled accessed skiing/boarding in Missoula/Bitterroot/Lolo/Seeley area? Open to anything from BC jump session to big mountain lines or...

I'll ask again just for visibility, if it's annoying just tell me to fuck off.

Missoula/Bitteroot area 24yo looking for sled access ski/board BC partner (must have avy gear). I'm open to anything...

I don't know what these people are talking about... Bridger Bowl is the worst, no one should ever ski there. Seriously, don't come to Bridger. If you decide to ignore me any go anyway, just tell your...

Anyone on here do sled accessed skiing/boarding? I have a sled but no BC partners that also have sleds, just a few touring partners.

Financing them? Let them build up copious amounts of debt like the rest of us and you go ski bumming. It's the American way!!

Anyone in the Bitterroot/Missoula area looking for a backcountry ski/split/sledding partner for the season? I know avy safety and I'm an EMT if you're worried about experience. This'll be my fourth...

Anyone in or near the Bitterroot valley looking for a backcountry sled/ski partner?

I heard I should be allowed to take the sled on the trapper peak road and get relatively close to the peak. Any insight on this?

Yea... I'm sorry too...

I'm bumping this to add that I just purchased a mountain sled and I'm looking for suggestions on the best sled accessible skiing near Missoula (any terrain similar to the Northern Bridgers or Cooke...

$150 seems a little steep. I had a design in mind that would run me about $20 in parts from Ace, I think I'll at least give it a try before I spend money on a rack. I'm pretty confident I can make a...

Damn, awesome response, thanks. The hyfax isn't really that worn but they seem really cheap to replace so I might do it sometime anyway. As a poor grad student I think a top end replacement may not...

Western Montana. Out of curiosity what kind of cost am I looking at for that? My pre-season list currently includes: New hyfax, change chain case oil/inspect, replace broken killswitch, coolant...

Got my first sled last week:
2001 Ski-doo Summit Highmark X 800, 151' (3100mi chassis, ~1500mi engine)

Runs great and was very well maintained. Paid $1K+skis+computer. So pumped for this...

If it's on iTunes you can safely assume it's got DRM.

Except it's nothing like that. Are you skiing directly behind someone in the dark while being blinded by their screen and trying to look over their GoPro?
Phones at concerts are in your face and...

Who cares if other people want to wear cameras? Does something that has no effect on you really bother you that much? If you don't like it just don't use one and don't watch their videos. Get over it...

I'm not exactly sure about ski helmets but bike helmets are definitely supposed to shatter. Ski helmets may also use this method:

Source: " It is designed to shatter on impact and soften the blow...

Perhaps I misunderstood your tone with the previous statement. I just get annoyed when this kind of sensationalist news gets spread before any evidence is presented. Spreading incomplete information...

If they are unable to prove the camera is the reason for the injury I can see GoPro sueing for libel without evidence causing significant financial losses. On the other hand if they show that the...

Congrats on being a condescending douche and not actually reading what I said. All I said is that this article has no professional opinion yet and the son's claim is speculation. This article reeks...

So your argument is that because they are a big company then it must be their fault? My only point is that this is just sensational journalism until any evidence that it actually was the camera is...

Pure speculation on his son's part. There is no professional opinion involved here. The argument that it created a pressure point at the mounting site is negated by the fact that a rough or small...

Which is why they went under and were bought by Boyne (Big Sky). As awesome as empty resorts are, they can't last. If you want empty, start hiking.

My buddy has purchased a few old school sleds and has had good luck with them. He puts a couple hundred in parts in a year and they run decently well. My plan would be to just use it on trails and...

Thanks for the info guys, keep it coming.

Do you think I'd worth it for me to shell out a few hundred bucks for a shitty 90s trail sled to get a little deeper into the mountains? There's no way I...

Just moved from Bozeman and I'm unfamiliar with the terrain here. I've heard that the backside of Snowbowl and the terrain in Lolo pass are popular but I've looked at Google Earth and I'm more...

This seems to be what I'm looking for, something that's a one time cost and I can put in my pack and forget about until I need it (hopefully never).

Yea, that's an option. Are there any SAR beacons that don't have a monthly/annual cost?

I (obviously) plan on using it exactly zero times in my life.

I was curious if anyone uses these? I'm essentially looking for something that (if I'm injured or stuck) I can activate almost anywhere (deep in the mountains) and it will alert rescue personnel of...

On the bright side... If the lifts/resort survives you'll have some prime tree skiing this year.

That's a fun edit, thanks for sharing.

Lets see... last year it was $400 on one season pass, $700 on gear, a bunch on gas for my car. Spent 16 days on volunteer SP for a pass to another resort, and 100+ days freeskiing/touring. Another...

Did you nail your face on that rock? That looked rough.

Sounds like a great decision, I should have done this...

I'm surprised they didn't use an anchor and rope to lower you. What run is this? I'm guessing in somewhere in headwaters?

Damn, how did I never notice that? It's got some great skiing but what a dick.

Not mine but this has some nice crashes from 1:30-3:40.

Awesome stuff man!
