Fairbanks Snow Travelers

Thanks for all of the input. It seems like there are plenty of places but I still have yet to make a decision. I know now that it will be me and my girlfriend and we will only be taking one sled. It will be her first time riding and even though it will not be my first it might as well be. I would li...

I would love to go to chatanika but I would like my girlfriend to come along and she will probably not be available until at least 11:00am on saturday. Maybe we will cruise out there when she is done and ride around a bit. Both of those pump house locations seem pretty far, for some reason I was ima...

the deck surrounds the wheel wells where it sits. This and the weight of the wood hold it down pretty well. When a sled is on I tie the sled to the bed keeping the whole unit tied down with the straps. to attach the ramp a galvanized pipe runs through holes in the deck and ramp. The galvanized pipe ...

I would like to take my sleds out on saturday and am wondering where a good place would be to get some easy beginner riding in. I was thinking the pipeline might be a good spot to take my sleds for a test drive and to get me and my girlfriend a little more comfortable with the machines. It is my und...

haha yeah I have been pretty busy. It was a neat project. I would love to design and build a hydraulic system like that. Unfortunately, a hundred bucks or so of lumber is the budget limit for now. Maybe next season i will have the upgraded system. New skis? Yeah the ones on the polaris have some pre...

Well I finally finished my truck ramp and took a few photos of my sleds for you all. Nothing special but maybe you can help let me know if I got swindled or got a good deal. The sled ramp design was sort of a copy of this ramp. Here are the photos: http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff257/CaptainA_0...

When is the next meeting? unfortunately I missed this one but my chances of making the next are better the further in advance I am aware. I apologize if this is listed somewhere obvious.

right on, it will be tough but I can wait. Maybe I can spend the time working on a loading system for my truck. Thanks for saving my sleds.

good to know. I will probably try to avoid untraveled paths on the river. The risk of going in is too much for me to pretend like I know what I am doing. Unfortunately I missed the meeting and swapmeet due to a presentation I wound up spending the better portion of the week completing. Well, it snow...

I bought a 1994 Yamaha Vmax 600 Mountain and a 1991 Polaris Indy 500. They both seem to be in pretty good shape. The suspension is a little low on them both. The indy has a pretty worn track and could use some new carb-airbox boots. The Yamaha is pretty tough to start and has a sticky clutch. She st...

Hello all, I have been in fairbanks for a couple of years now and decided it was high time to pick up a couple of sleds. I wound up with a fair deal for two older sleds that seem to be in fair condition for what i want them for. Which is primarily cruising around and getting introduced to the recrea...
