I got my christmas present early. A voile split 178 swallowtail! 😀 My wife rocks!!!! Only gotten to use it twice but it is AWESOME!

Have a great holiday and see yall in the back country!

Now that I’m an old married guy w/ kids the recieving part of Christmas has kinda dissolved. I do get a gift or two and this year it’s going to be some boot liners.

I even told my wife where to buy them 😀

I hope to recieve:

Ipod for those long unending approaches

however, I almost got skinned alive for purchasing my split kit and skins late last month so i suppose those ended up being my christmas gift.

Cheers

Oh yes lets get some more damn snow as well for christmas

hmmm…I’m trying to squeeze it past the little lady but, does anyone besides myself think I deserve a snowmobile?

hmmm BRP Summit X 166″ track or the all new Yamaha Apex GT?

Hell yeah you deserve one. You’ve been such a dedicated father, shit, you haven’t even left town for a split trip during the last few months. 😀

Ahhhhhh mtnrider-you said the key word “SUMMIT” those rides rock! Much vrrrrrrrrmmmmmm. Eco said you were dedicated…put it on the plastic! 😀

I am getting a new baby for Christmas….BCrider way to call it….ouch…welcome to fatherhood I am finding out.

I feel like I am in the bucking chute waiting for the gait to open up and all hell to break loose…yep, we are supposed to have a baby girl. 😯

mtnrider-go with the “summit” if it is an option. That machine will be nothin’ but love. You may not be using your sled to highmark, but you will want the power for powder and cruising up steep hills. I have never highmarked with my machine, but I have gone up a few crazy steep trails where I wished I had the power of a Summit. They are gat!

Thanks for the baby advice too. I am stoked. 😀

you’re right about that..

I’ll give props to the Polaris 900 RMK as well. Mine has been pretty much nothin but love… I opted for the 159 instead of the 166 which I do not regret and lightened it up a bit with an after market pipe and airbox but it didn’t suck before hand… although I mainly use mine for splitting it’s hard to resist the occasional highmark when scouting out new areas… somethin about climbin 1000′ in seconds… 😈

mtn rider,

I have a 2003 polaris RMK 800 w/ 151 inch track and my buddies have the following;
2004 Summit Rev 800 w/ 151 (16inch wide) track
2001 Summit (not Rev) w/ 151
2005 RMK 900 w/ 159

They all have the capability to get you far into the backcountry and while the RMK 900 pretty much climbs the best your definitely going to pay more for it. They all climb really well and get us to some cool terrain. IMHO the most economical way to get into it is just get a couple year old RMK or Summit w/ low miles and not a lot of mods (mods depending on what they are can reduce reliability). You will save thousands by NOT buying the latest and greatest although the new chasis (REV and IQ) are really nice. Buying from a private party is also the way to go, look the sled over good before buying though.

My requirements were the following;
800cc
151 inch track
>=2002
