Fellow Sledheads!!
I hope all of you have enjoyed the great weather we had this summer but summer is giving in to Fall and that means
hunting season is in full swing and this is the time I start to get excited for the upcoming sledding season.
The 2012 sleds are starting to show up and my excitement to get going is high.
The new Polaris Pro's are showing up on the showroom and the "Retro" color package looks great and is becoming my favorite.
The 2012 Ski Doo's are suppose to be showing up mid October and I cant wait to get them out.

Now is the time I like to get my wish list together on all of the aftermarket products that I would like to try out.
I am going to share ride time on a 2012 Ski-Doo X 163 and the Polaris Assault 155 with the 5.1 powder track.
The Ski-Doo I am leaving stock and the Assault is getting a make over.
Top of the list is a Turbo.
There is some "new and improved" on the Boondocker turbo kit. Price $6740.00 installed
First off they are adding 2 secondary injectors to the air box to help with the fueling. This has to also help with the reeds life.
You will have 2 options with the air box. One is the new "Torque box" that looks like a rams horn and Boondocker is claim quicker response and more bottom end torque.
The other is an intercooler to help keep the charge temperatures down and keep the power more consistent. With this new intercooler you should be able to run more
boost.
Another new improvement on the kit is a variable sensor that adds and subtract boost with the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) You set your boost at a max and it's set for full throttle. So if you are at half throttle or 50% and you set your max boost for 10#"s you are only using 50% of that or 5#"s. In other words, when you are cruising through the trees your not needing full boost at half throttle. It will be a more stock power curve feeling all through out the power band.

Second on my list is...
Air Frame running boards from sled solutions. Price $465.00 plus installation
These running boards are the ultimate in traction and keeping the snow from piling up.
I hope to get these installed before we hit the snow.

The C&A Pro skis.. Price $525.00 This price includes the mounting hardware.
These skis have always been one of the best aftermarket skis for years. I have tried them out on friends sleds and have notice how easy they make the front end of the sled feel light on the snow. So I want to try them out this year on my sled.
Forth..
The Timbersled rear skid for the Polaris. Price $2510.00 plus installation. Full skid with new straight rails and the exit x 1 shocks.
The boys at Timbersled have really been working on 2 things for their suspension. One, light weight. They have cut out
5#'s from the already light stock skid from the Polaris Pro. Second.. Improve the ride and the transfer to keep the skid from digging into the snow.
Timbersled is quickly becoming a favorite among the guys with the turbo sleds to help keep the front ends down while climbing the steep chutes.
These are just a few of the items I hope to try out this season. I am sure I will find more.
As I get some time on the snow with these products I will write about my findings and let you all know about the pros and cons.
Reminder!!!
October 18th.... AVALANCHE SAFETY COURSE!!! 6:00 at Driven powersports.
This is a must for anyone and everyone.. Avalanches can and will happen when you least expect it...
Sign up NOW.. this class is limited to 50 people and we are over half way full.
I hope to see everyone up in Togwotee for the customer appreciation ride this year. January 28-29th. And rumor has it that Dan Adams Professional backcountry rider for Polaris will be there riding with us.
Check with the staff and sign-up early, because this does fill up quickly.
We will again break up in different groups.. ability and family, to keep the sizes where we can keep track of everyone and to be sure everyone has a great time.
(I promise not to break down again)
I will again be offering group rides down in the Sierra Madres once a month starting in January. I will keep you posted with upcoming emails.
If any of you have any questions or thoughts you would like to share please send me an email.
