I've always been an avid snowmobile. Had some kinda "hardcore" riding about 10 years ago when I lived in NL. Here is a pic that made a couple magazines. Nothing hardcore about this picture but i think it turned out quite nice.

I have traded in the jumps and drops for a beast now that I live in Nunavut. Snow is like concrete here and no hills here I live so my snowmobile now is for hunting. I've owned the following sleds:

Polaris Star Lite 250 (eventually caught fire)
1994 Ski-Doo MX 470
2003 700 Firecat F7 SnoPro
2006 700 Firecat F7 SnoPro

This is when the move to Nunavut happened...

2005 Yamaha Venture 600
2011 Ski-Doo Etec 600 X
2014 Ski-Doo Grand Touring 550f

Current sled is...
2015 Ski-Doo Enduro 4Tech 1200

I have always loved snowmobiling and certainly have preferences for what I buy. I would rate the brands as follows:

1. Ski-Doo
2. Arctic Cat
3. Yamaha
4. Polaris

I have seen so many crappy Polaris in the last 20 years or so I will never ever buy one. The Ski-Doo and Arctic Cat sleds never let me down. The AC Firecat's were very tough but gave the old school ride, not rider forward like newer sleds.

I use a Garmin Montana GPS and have a slick set up:

The best thing about Ski-Doo is their accessories and the LinQ system. Basically you can mix and match accessories to fit based on what you want/need.

I love snowmobiling!
