    The End of Another Crappy Season

    Wow... so two seasons in a row with only a three-month riding season. What a f'ing joke. I remember when we used to be able to ride from mid-November until the middle of May. And I just saw a video from Burandt posted a week ago saying this was their best season yet. Yeah, I feel a bit...

    Hi Guys going to Yuba Pass on Saturday 2/8/25

    Thanks for the invite! I'm not at all a fan of Yuba... it's just trails with tons of trees. I'm currently looking to do Hope Valley on Saturday IF the snow on Thurs and Fri amounts to anything worthwhile. So far Blue Lake has only picked up 3" but Open Snow reports 11" at the snow park (go...

    Catalyst is here!

    Annnnd just like that, it's gone. I had one ride of 13 miles. I don't think this is a good sled for California type snow (mostly hardpack) and with Cat's financial issues, all of the problems popping up with the 858, and the fact that the closest dealer is three hours away, I decided to get...

    LTS 12/15/24 Hope to ride with group!

    Man, wish I had seen this! I would have been interested in going. Currently I'm looking to go someplace on January 1st.. not sure where yet, waiting to hear about snow conditions. I'd prefer Hope Valley but would settle for LTS.

    Finally got an M8!

    I finally found a great M8 at a great price. Picked this up from a guy who lives down near Yosemite. Second owner who knew the first owner. Only 823 miles. Very nice shape for a 14 year old sled. Now to get the King Cat running and sold...

    2004 King Cat!

    Nope, no miles since I bought it.. there's been too much wrong with it. It runs, but I had to fix some broken suspension pieces and rebuild the front end. The bushings were shot, the tie rods more than shot, replaced the skis with Powder Pros and one of the front shocks was blown so replaced...

    2004 King Cat!

    The King Cat is almost ready to ride! I replaced the primary clutch spring, put new pins and o-rings on the weights and ensured that the rollers and buttons were good. The Secondary is apart and needs a good cleaning, and then reassembly it with a fresh spring. I added a 6" riser block and...

    Catalyst is here!

    I picked up my new Catalyst yesterday. I had them add the blue EVO front bumper, the black EVO rear bumper, the Hardcore Running Boards, and I got the 17L "ATTACH" tunnel bag and a handlebar bag. On order is a 3" riser (7" actual block, from PowerMadd) and an EarthX lightweight battery (it's...

    2004 King Cat!

    I picked this up last weekend for my daughter. $1000. It's a 2004 with 2450 miles on it. Looks to be in decent shape for its age. It came from Oregon. I'm in the process of doing all the long-overdue maintenance... chaincase fluid has been changed. We're doing coolant on it tomorrow. I'm...

    Adding Riding Areas

    All you really need to do is post pix... just say hey, we went riding at _____ yesterday, and it was great! It was deep! (or it wasn't) etc etc. Then if people have questions, they can ask.

    Was there much in the way of land mines?

    What if just once the 8'-10' predicted storm really happened?

    It looks like a huge amount in some areas and a lot less in others. SnoTel showed I think 2-3 feet max in places like Blue Lake, Forestdale Creek, Sonora Pass and Independence Lake. Yet videos I saw posted from TV stations on YouTube showed a LOT more than that... like when they did a story...

    T-Rex A-Arm Installation on Matryx

    I got the 36" kit which is same as stock. They make a 34" kit, and that kit would make the front end higher, except I believe they modified the shock mount to keep it at the same height. The cross-mount on the lower arm is positioned more to the outside, to accomodate the longer shock...

    T-Rex A-Arm Installation on Matryx

    No, the only way to do that would be to use a longer shock.

    T-Rex A-Arm Installation on Matryx

    I just finished installing a set of the T-Rex A-Arms on my '23 Khaos 850. I tagged a rock a couple of rides ago with the right ski/knuckle and tweaked the right upper A-Arm. After a lot of research and reading the other big T-Rex thread here, I decided to give them a try. Installation is...

    Snow-Checked a Catalyst!

    I'm really hoping that the Catalyst will be the second-coming of the original M-series: Lightweight, super capable and easy to ride. But given that I rode your Alpha, and it handles very similarly to my Khaos, I'm not expecting night and day like I experienced when I jumped from the Ski-Doo...

    Snow-Checked a Catalyst!

    I kicked it around for the last couple of weeks since the pre-orders started, and decided to pull the trigger! I'm getting a 2025 Mountain Cat Alpha One 858 with the 154/3.0 track. I also went for electric start (my Khaos has that and I LOVE it), and also got the ATAC setup that lets you...

    Tempest heated goggles review

    I have to +1 this. I got a set of them too and agree, these things are awesome. Fog-free goggles all the time.
