We ride Cherry Creek from time to time. Nice trails out there.
Yeah Saturday was great, thumbs up to Wyoming county. Great conditions and top notch grooming.
Is that XF yours? I’m wondering how the longer tracks ride, particularly if they’re better when the trails get heavily trafficed and bumpy
Yeah, they both are. The XF is real nice and it soaked up the bumps while riding through the woods in Cherry Creek, which got bad in a few places. And I love the new 600 Ctec engine. Snappy, light, and sounds sick. If you ride up in the Pendleton area, I’ll let you take it for a spin anytime.
is there anywhere to ride or did the warm up kill the trails everywhere
Tug , Colden north of spraguebrook is open
Got around to installing the LEDS someone pointed out to me on my buddy’s wife’s sled. Turned out better than expected
My buddy just got back from riding in NH. They rode from Mt. Washington to Pittsburg area (right up to CA border). He said the trails were awesome, a lot of places where you can boondock in the northern end. Most sleds are a minimum 136" track, mostly saw switchback/renegade/rmk type sleds. They had a group of 9, 1 skidoo rev blew up though… nut came off flywheel and took out the crank. My cousins live out that way and ride, I will have to take a vacation and ride their sleds sometime
On a side note, I’m starting a single place sled deck build. Will probably post it on here…cheaper than a trailer for snow/hill drag events and will serve double duty for winter weight since the truck is 2wd. Making it collapsible to close tailgate and tonneau when not in use.
@travisn just built a single sled deck for his long bed.
Hell yea, works mint. The two side ramps slide underneath. No room for the center bit though.
I saw plans online for a wooden one similar to that that used 2x6’s and plywood.
I’m welding one up out of steel and having it powder coated.
Yea that’s probably where I got the idea from, I used free pallets though. I think I have maybe $20 into it. Definitely use an old track as a drive surface, works so well. The ski guides are plastic truck bed liner.
I think a 10’ ramp would allow the track to touch all the time, this one is 9’ and I still have to get a run up or the track ends up not touching the ramp and it just spins. If I didn’t have the tool box I could drive all the way in and shut the tail gate but oh well.
does NYS still ban the use of sled decks? That’s all anyone uses out here
Where did you get that from?
Gently please.

haha yea exactly. my buddy built one like that the same time I built mine. suuuuuuper sketchy but it works
That may have something to do with why you never see them here.
I have no idea but honestly I don’t care as mine will not be sitting on top of the bed.
Both of these guys are talking about single place sled decks so they should be fine. They start getting illegal when people build them 102" wide to accept 2 sleds, making them stick out considerably from the width of the truck. Many states have laws about not allowing anything in the bed to stick out more than a 6" from the fenders.
This is where you run into issues:
Might have to add lights on it like on a dually truck
From what I read it doesn’t matter what you add. If it sticks out more than 6" from the fenders it’s illegal.
