Bigbird looks like you guys are getting dumped on:thumb: We have been getting hammered pretty good in the mountains as well. Sucks for the guys in the lower states, Idaho hasn't gotten squat for snow.

That might be better then the pouring rain we rode in at thompson pass a couple weeks ago.

Yuck, that should make for some crappy layering... Better make sure all your buds got avy gear and know how to use it. I hear Valdez is sporting a ton snow right now. Need to make a trip down there soon.

My old 800 etec, fuel econ was good but MPG's arent everythinig. going with a new cat turbo next year because doo wont produce a boosted sled. O well!!

Better off buying a new Etec and putting an Aerocharger kit on it than buying a boosted Cat. No matter who builds it, stock will be all kinds of gay compared to a built yourself unit. I have a couple buddies that have both been down that road. They both sold their turbo Cat's this year and built their own M8 turbo's. Way happier guys now! Lots of guys boosting the '12 doo's with lots of good feedback!

We all took the avalanche course last year and bought all the gear.
Ive been down in valdez every weekend seeing the girlfriend, and its rediculous how much snow they have gotten this year. I have family down there and have been there alot each winter, but this year they seem
To be getting alot more snow.

Old thread new sled. Just picked up an 09 Renegade 800R w/ 1600 old man miles on it. Plan on Fox floats, white vented side panels, white bogey wheels and possibly a 1.75 track and c&a skis. Fairly stock for now but I've only had it 12 hours lol

I went out to Cooke City Mt last year and did some backcountry. We had one small slide in an area we were riding and fortunately no one got hurt, but it definitely makes you think. I do most of my miles in Maine so its not much of a concern for us here.

Thanks man. Headed to Rangeley Lake in Maine tonight. They're getting hammered with snow the past couple weeks. Nothing like out west but to have 4+ feet on the ground in December is nice for the Northeast.

Didn't put a ton of miles in this weekend but rode the Roxbury/Mexico/Rangeley area in Maine. My cousin has a house in Roxbury and rides the quad up there over the summer. We went and broke a bunch of trail with 3+ feet of snow. I made my buddy on his 07 Summit XRS 151 look pretty bad in a few spots with my little 137 lol

I'll check with my dealer they sold a bunch of those shocks and may still have some new or used. I'll let you know.

My 94 Thundercat with a PSI 1050 lake race motor. We never get enough snow to constitute riding it though :(
