Another calm before the storm. 20+ cms coming tonight, another 20 on Saturday. The winter that never ends. Rode to Hawk Junction for lunch with the 9 year old grand daughter today. Trail was great, taking the magpie back. Ski

Wouldn't the softer seat be more comfortable - in theory at least? and why wouldn't anyone want a nice soft seat? Just curious

You have the wide comfort seat on the 900T......the newer one is still on the soft side, but noy as soft on the previous version. Both are too soft for me, the 850 seat is perfect, but the idea of being able to have it a bit higher would be nice. 

I hear that. My daughter enjoys riding - but riding someone else' sled - she won't be buying a sled anytime soon - she'll come out of school - be career focused and let's face it - be saving money for a home - whatever that will look like by then.....   My son, is a total gear head - he will buy something and be in it - but he'll also need to be balancing saving money to not be living with me for eternity.    These kids face an extremely harsh "real" world - that we never faced. Yes, we all had to save, sacrifice, but not like today - sorry, but that's how it is.   Anyway, enough of the doom:   Had a great just shy of 1000 mile season - wish I could have done more - but time did not allow it - grateful for what I did get and grateful my 2012 Cat worked when I needed it to    

Sledding as we know it will die with our age group. Costs are a huge factor and I'm not talking just the cost of the sport. It's the cost of everything else in life.    If I have 20k (let's use that number) to spend on a toy it sure as hell isn't going to be on something i can use for a 6-week max season. It doesn't make sense at all economically. I'm also going to counsel my children not to do it either until they reach some sort of economical milestone and can afford it.   While sledding is a unique and great experience, something motorcycling has a way bigger bang for the buck for a ridable solo recreational toy.   Like it or not but modern economic realities that are completely avoidable (won't get political here) has destroyed our Canadian way of life. And let's face it, snowmobiling in some from is Canadiana through and through.
