We ordered a 26 renegade X 900T i was originally looking at the adrenaline package, but for the extra $600 if I remember correctly, I upgraded to the X package and got way more than $600 in value. Just the new ras rx front end is worth around $1100 I think? Im keeping my viper for now as I really do still love that sled, but eventually making a full transition to skidoo. My wife hates the vipers, and the Polaris S4 is just underpowered. Our good friend let us borrow his wife’s skidoo for a day so we could make our decision before buying, which helped a lot with her decision.

Still some awesome riding up North. Should be a least another 1-2 weeks in and around Cochrane.

Great ride so far, over 250kms. Haven't seen a sled yet

Best conditions hands down this season for me was Saturday. Rouyn-pressiac-amos-la sarre area. Simply epic! Those 900 turbo R's really shine up there. Kinda want one now lol.

That's what I ordered too. New front end and 4 years warranty. Got great trade on my 23 so really couldn't say no

Congrats!! Bonus is that you have a fuel sock/pump maintenance professional just south of you! Looking at you Blackstar!😉

Maybe everyone are waiting to see the Arctic Cat MY26 lineup?

Once you're out its almost impossible to get back in. Passion keeps you in Once you're out and find other things to spend your time and money on, hard to get that fire back. We're inching closer as hockey will wind down over the next year or two I suspect. Passion is still there and I will get back in -one more time and hopefully stay.

Yep, I’m sick of seeing all the black sleds out there lol

Trails are in great shape. Not much traffic either.

Kirkland to Cochrane is in great shape. A little rough coming into Cochrane this afternoon but it is mild today with 10 cm of new snow.

@Nunz ordered a new sled, I think......keeping the spirit / sport alive!!!!

Too many black sleds out there imo. Need some colour forsure🤙🏼

I imagine most high mileage riders will have ordered a 2026 glad to hear guy and gals are picking colours over just a black sled lol

after seeing these doo front ends and this, I cant unsee it. Nope, I cant Doo it. Ski

Heard the old crossroads property may be turning into. State and Main or Piper Arms restaurant that will be nice for Elmira syrup festival is next Saturday!!!

I read reports that some put new pumps in 2025 already. 2026 supposed to redesign it so pumps don't fail?

2022 Yamaha srx sidewinder great condition Very clean must see 1800km

Same as the picture Catalyst grey and 1 1/4 ice Ripper too . You too on the color option ?

Nice sled. That 130hp x package is a great looking setup. Definitely what I'd look at. That or a Expedition with the same motor package.

Hello all im heading to Cochrane next weekend for a few days and hoping to join a group that is familiar with the Abitibi Canyon loop. maybe even looking to carpool. let me know if this is of interest. thanks!

Trailer is loaded. Rouyn bound in the morning

"Last" year .

So warm that you was stripped down to your jamies again I see. I had 84* on the overhead in the truck in E Colorado, W Kansas 2 days ago, with sleds on the deck. All while the weather map was showing big snows in UP/Soo areas. But a few days prior (Wed night) we had to take the 2 lanes to git to Colorado, as both 70 and 80 were both closed for bizzard conditions. Apparently 18" and 60mph winds in Nebraska. I don't think we ever saw any active snow at all down on 36, but at least 4 overturned big trucks blown onto their sides. MAN - tha'd be a ride eh? March weather, wha'cha gunna doo? .

Yup, hook line and sinker.

April Fools

Conditions look amazing. Hard to believe looking at things down/around here. I'm ready for summer now though!

Keeps snowing in south river

Nice. They got some neige last night.

In the current SnowTech magazine, they are spotlighting the fancy new steering on the Summits, and the fact that it can turn 30% tighter. My question is - who cares aboot this on a Summit? .

I’d love to get this one, when it upgrade from the viper, I’ll definitely be looking at an expedition for myself. Need to try before I buy though

Congradulations on the new sled purchase !

Yes everything going to slow down. Affecting me too. USA not suppling us with hatching eggs they are required too under current free trade agreements. We plan for and take 21 percent of their hatching eggs for our Canadian chick supply. Now they aren't meeting obligation and we are short on hatching eggs, which results in a chick shortage. I got cut 4 percent this time. This is only tip of ice berg. They could cut us off completely and then just ship chicken here because we have no way to ramp up breeder flocks in next year either.

Where are you? We had a record year in Southern Ontario. Most of my buddies put 4000+ kms on. One of my clients put 6000kms on and never put his sled on a trailer.

OK, but considering that most everyone got on near zero klicks last year .... .

Mine leaked the first time I used it. Although it was tight, removed cap and spout and reassembled and it has been fine since.

So after three failed attempts to ride Quebec with my (now 17 years old) son (Christmas and March break last year , and Christmas this year) - we finally made it! Trailered to New Liskeard - left 1:09pm, in at Amos in good time. Checked yesterday and today and Atmosphere had lots of room options , and heck it’s a Monday night. In 300 km we saw 10 sleds and a groomer total. well - arrived and it was fully booked! so headed over to Nouvelle Fronteirre (redone hotel next to the petro can). Nice place so far. Up to Chibougamau tomorrow, and yep - booked a room ahead of time! trails were 9.5 all afternoon.

You might want to think about what you post on public forums. If you really are writing toys off this might catch up with you.

Don’t know how I did it but I’m not complaining, nice to be a passenger some times. Really the diesel HD does a better job towing than my truck would.

Another great ride today, 440km, beautiful sunny cold day. Lots of fresh snow this morning, and fantastic conditions throughout the day! More traffic heading into Cochrane, the Westway is packed tonight. One more ride in the morning before we head home. Lots of Moose tracks today but unfortunately none seen.

Not surprised. At this point, it looks like this will be my worst year in business since I started 27 years ago. I got my first call for a swimming pool in 4 months on Monday. Hearing the same from other companies. With interest rates coming down, we all thought that this year would pick up after 2 bad years but the orange man down south has screwed that completely. Tariffs are starting to hit my industry now. Only getting worse from here.
