Where did this trail come from?

Friday was all time.

Heated goggles are great but some days you need windshield wipers

simple, you seem to have a penchant for augering into roads, I recall you doing that at Sheepshead a couple years ago.

Trees are traction.

Anybody riding a 174/5 ? Found a sweet deal on a 19 850 curious to see if it might be a good fit.

Buddy I was riding with on Friday had a doo 175 850. It was the tits for tandeming. Especially in the 2 feet of powder.

I ride a 850 175, wouldn't go shorter.
Don't have to take everything at speed, just tractor around.

I'm not into bow ties and flippy tricks either that a shorter sled definitely has the advantage with.

What's a reasonable price for a '16 skidoo summit 600 154" track with 1200 miles? This is primarily for sled access ski touring mostly on groomed roads with up to 15 miles of groom to the ski spots. My current sled is an 08 summit 800 which I'm planning on keeping too.

I've got aspirations of being a real snowmobiler but honestly am likely to get out to snowmobile once or maybe twice a winter.

$5000 or less

Prices are still high, especially for a low mileage sled. Probably close to $7000CAD around here. So $5000US?

Re: longer tracks

I've always ridden 150x tracks until my recent 165 2020 poo. I really like the longer track with the 3" paddles. As mentioned, you are able to ride more slowly and creep around versus relying more on momentum. I riden the 155 with the 2.5 and the the difference is more noticeable than i would have imagined. I don't think it is better or worse and I think clutching and suspension set up probably have more impact on how a sled rides.

[QUOTE=Cruiser;6815113]Just saw Craig this morning in the trailer turnaround. Beautiful day up here. We're usually on 15 but don't pay much attention to it unless we're stuck. If you're in town the sauna is lit.

Sled is now in the locals lot. Runs well. ran out to Pomeroy but no one has been up for awhile and being solo opted not to head up. Storm chasing MJ and Steamboat this weekend. May try and head up to the hut next week with Monarch patrollers. They put me intouch with a local renowned pow sledder who offerred to set the track to the hut for me.

The 600cc is a great option for the groomed road ski touring access. But If you want to do more “real snowmobiles” stuff you’ll be better off with an 800cc. The power difference is around 120hp to 163hp.

Fun day out there!

The crust was firm the slope of the drifts a bit much

after a bunch of digging we abandoned ship and skinned the last mile

made it! 35 degrees heavy wet snow big slides all aspects except north

as the skiing was fucked we dug out the mine to get to food and beer, the wood shed and stomped a path to the outhouse. We fired some slash piles under the snow from beetle kill mitigation.

the cornices were quite big this year check out the fracture under lookers left, most snow I've seen in my 5 yrs up here

we had a visitor!

[Cruiser]

^^^ Nice!

I tried to ride up there a couple weeks ago after some kind folks put the trail in but I only got as far as the big mine building on the right before realizing that the snow was not gonna make for easy sledding up to your place. Silly deep up there tho, right?

[Tech Tonics]

Hey y’all. Been having a blast learning how to ride. Our ~20yo Arctic Cat 800 is one bad bitch. It’s way faster than we need to get to the areas we want to ski.

Question:
When it’s running, it leaks fuel. Considerable amounts.

When it’s off, the leak stops almost immediately

Any idea what it could be??we can’t identify it

Clarify. How does the fuel leak manifest in other words, what and where do you see gas? Fuel pump, fuel lines, carb, filter, etc.
