  • New sled day is here and we picked up the 2023 Skidoo Gen 5 summit Expert 154 Turbo R, from Toms Snowmobile. Duncan goes over a few new things on the sled, and gets it into the garage for the first upgrade to Cheetah Factory Racing risers and bars. Then out for the first ride, but whats different about this ride is that Travis Alley joins him on his Polaris 850 Matryx Chaos Slash 146.
    So join us in checking out these two ripping sleds and see how November conditions in Tahoe are!

    Love the idea about the avalanche training. I’ve lost two very close friends the last few years in slides. It want because they aren’t good riders or aren’t careful, it’s because it can happen to anyone no matter your riding ability. Since we have all gone through our avalanche certifications and have so much more confidence on the mountain now and just as a backcountry rider in general. They tech you some many great things about reading terrain and snow conditions along with of course the rescue portion. I find myself analyzing the conditions and terrain constantly now. Great idea.
    In addition, we will have a adjustable temp, headed, carbon fiber composite brake lever soon so watch for that. Thanks for sharing!

    Yeah manufacturers should definitely put something to aid you in finding avalanche information. Very good point

    So I'm a Polaris guy and was mocking the SHIT out of the Gen5 when they came out. And while I still feel the headlights are a little goofy looking, I have to admit that the engineering behind the Gen5 is pretty damn impressive.
    I still don't care for the brake and chain case being down by your feet, and the belt storage behind the seat is a little weird, but that sled is DAMN impressive and I'm srsly questioning their claim of "180 hp." It looks more like 190+ lol

      Saw a gen5 summit at the dealer the other day. I was expecting it to be as terrible as the pictures. In person it actually looks decent. Was quite surprised by that as well as how narrow it is. Looks like it will be super easy to ride in tight areas.

    480 mains , it’s cold here , -20F , let’s ride , wind chill only gets to -49 than slows down , railroad grade , maybe , 25 /37 gearing the year , would like the extra 8 mph , and maybe a half gallon a mile better mpg

    For a beginner/ average idaho mountain rider what track langth do you recommend, 154 or 165?
    Riding a 154 arctic cat m8000 mountain cat right now, seems real hard to rider, but i think most of that is due to the mono rail.

      Was that up near Two Top do you know? I think I remember hearing about that. 2 kids died in Green Canyon last year right around this time as well...really sad.
