Here is a pic of the group earlier in the day when all was still well :)

THe powerline just north of my house. There was almost 5 feet of powder all the way through. Pure heaven :p

Still well?????????????????? Can't wait to hear this one!!

Looks like someone went a little BIG on the jump. Thats DP on the right :0:

Another shot of DP he did fair better than the Polaris tho . The XC got way to much air and landed down in the gads. With a smashed windshield and knee. His day was done

Sweet pics Perm. Who was on the Poo...SW member? Is he OK other than the knee? Must have been bad if it ended his day.

BTW, how did you guys like the REV??

I was the one that rode the REV most of the time and i goto say, i was pretty impressed ! Good trail sled, dont fell the bumps at all but if you go off trail :( Its not made for deep snow ???

I have to be honest with you guys, i loved the rev up until ladyk let me give a squezze on the GADE ! when i got back on the REV i was disapointed, it just didint feel as good as the GADE. That has to be the best sled i have ever rode, maybe i will get to ride jeff's 03 today :D

nice pics . to bad the guy on the poo got hurt. we haven't had any powder here in a few weeks. gattin sone snow today but the winds are up around 100K. can't ride.

When Is team Remagade going to Cochrane now? I was thinking of going there or around you guys the very end of this month, first of march. Not sure ecaxclty as I have a few loans to close around that time frame. Once They close I'm gone.

Well we all had a great ride :D :D Lots of fun and not too many injuries. Farmer was here today and he is still limping around :( Hopefully his knee heals quickly :0: Dont think he is gonna buy a new windshield tho, this is the second this year :p


I am a little sore today from doubling for 4hrs with Dan on my gade :0: :0: But we all had a great time. :D :D

Thanx to DP and CrazyB & Eddie for the supply of the video equipment :p :) We sure got some funny footage :p

Hmmmm......

Maybe I WON'T go riding with you guys!

Say......DanR

Want to trade your REV for my Millenium Renegade?

Just asking...stranger things have happened!

Nice pics :)
Too bad about the injuries... But pain is temporary ;)

Question for DanR. What exactly is the problem with the REV in deep snow? Clutching, snow packing in the tunnel, trenching, nose diving, etc.? I'm heading out West next week and will be playing in deep snow and mountains. If there's any heads up on setup that I can doo before I leave, it would be appreciated. How does it compare with a short track ZX chassis since I've rode those out West before with reasonable success.

Nice pics, I can`t get mine out of the camera for some strange reason. See you guy`s tomorrow.

CrazyB we will see you by 8 AM the film crew is leaving buddy ;)

Im surprised to hear that too! Doesnt Ski-doo have a long track mid season release Rev? Maybe a Rev Summit? Ill bet thats a nice machine too.
Isnt the track on the Rev skinnier?
I would love it if you guys would be a little more specific with the reason the Rev wasnt good in the fluff.
Ill be in Timmons later this week and plan on ridding one. My buddy Guy loves his.
I hope the snow stays fluffy till i get there.
D.D.

REV tracks are a standard 15" x 121". Mine is the 1" lug and I use the Camo. 9811 for grass drags. Deep snow has alot to do with rider ability and I've gone places that less experienced riders with 1.5" lug tracks have gotten stuck trying to follow me. Granted a long track with 2" lugs will go places I can't go, you can still make an inexperienced rider look bad. :p

Front belly pan does not provide enough flotation. as a result its handles poorly and gets stuck easy.

nice pics guys,wish i could have been there also :p hopefully i can get back to some powder on tues or wed...

Thanks LadyK, sounds like it's submarining or nose diving. I normally set up to keep the front end light and rely on the skis and track for flotation. Ditchbanging out here in 3-4 ft. loose snow, the front end is fine but the back tends to trench easy. I'm thinking that I'll need to tie up the snow flap so it can clean out easier. If DanR hasn't tried this, front shocks set at #4 and the limiter at the #2 hole keeps the front pretty light in the deep without sacrificing too much cornering ability.

looks like fun in the powder. wish we got that much here. We used to yrs ago, but our weather has changed for the worse. we still get enough to ride but not 5 feet of fresh stuff.

:( no cats or yummy's,it's just not fair.............looked like fun though. :D crashing just's not fun :nervous: good powder to ride in,gotta like it.... :inlove:

The REV i had was a rental, its a realy nice ride in the trails but i spend most of my time off trail, the summit REV is probably way better. I was thinking the same as you doopilot, the beaver tail and snowflap needs to be tied up so it can clean out easier.

Permafrost and Dpaige were so far away in front of us that they will never no what was going on that gade that night :nervous: ;) :inlove:

great pics guys!

Yeah, I'm jealous!! I hate having to sit out another season. :(

Great pics guys and gals :D I wish I could have been there, it looks like you guys had fun oh well maybe I can make it next time ;)

Well FM looks like you might have a second chance. The grandparents have asked for the children for the March Break :D :D :D So as long as the snow holds out we will be having a big ride then too.

Thanx to all who came and made it a memorable occasion. :D :D :D
Dont you just :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: snowmobiling?

Was your group at Ardbeg on thurs afternoon...? I was tagging along with some guys that stopped and dropped off a chainsaw we found on the trail. You followed them towards Dunchurch and I went down snakeskin lake. Saw the same group again at the top of 101 having a break, then saw ya in Mag when I stopped for groceries. There was a bunch of doos and a poo at the end. Never thought of it till I looked at your group pic. Anyway the trails were great.....cheers

Hey Phil,

It looks like everyone had a great time!!! Wish I could take 2 weeks off of school and come up there!! Looks awsome!! We have some hills to climb around here but no powder to play in the mix of things. Would definately show what type of rider you are!!!

That may be true, but I bet Danny Boy wasn't even thinking about hoping onto Perms sled. Was he?

And then to rub in what you made him for breakfast, to top it off.

Well, I'm sure you have March 20th already marked on your calendar, so how about I make a trip up that day ;) I like my steak Medium Rare :inlove:

Actually Fishie Perms sled was having a slight temp problem on the way back and I had to feed all. Bring up the steaks and I'll cook them up for ya Fishie. best steak you ever had ;) I guarantee it :) The 20th is no good as the kids are back in school and on thursdays my little one doesnt go to school :(
