Building a 2011 Polaris Pro RMK into a perfect backcountry mountain sled
Flashy colors, hot rod power and a lot of bling ... sounds about right for a mid-life crisis. But there’s more to Project MLC than that.

They’re After Your Access
Have you heard of the Winter Wildlands Alliance? It describes itself as a national “human-powered winter sports” group and therefore promotes access for backcountry/cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

How Did We Come To Ride The Backcountry The Way We Do?
It’s all about the challenge. I guess I am not much of a sightseer. Don’t get me wrong: I do enjoy being in the great outdoors and observing the pristine winter backcountry. There is nothing that compares to the beauty of winter in the backcountry. However, I tend to become very competitive whenever I have the power of a motorized vehicle at my finger tips.

Challenge: Make RMK Lighter
About the only thing that probably comes close to getting paid to design pieces and parts of snowmobiles and then getting to test and ride those parts on a sled would be getting college credit for doing the same thing.

Ride It Right
For the most part, the West is experiencing the best start to a season in decades. Snow covered many riding hotspots starting in early November and continued to pile up through early December. It looks like this season could be the best in a while to get out and rack up some serious miles on a new mountain sled.

Project CHR: Canyons, Hillsides and Ridges
Normally, we build a sled that follows the hottest and newest trends of the market. This time, we built the machine the way we wanted it—going back to the basics of a lightweight, great-handling sled with just a little extra power. And we even took a few steps back in history (nitrous) to get the performance we were after.

Five Things You Have To Do Before Snowmobiling In Avalanche Country
Without training you can’t read nature’s warning signs. Would it be rational to drive on a busy city street and not know what a red octagon means? Blowing through (not stopping at) a stop sign doesn’t guarantee an accident, but it certainly increases your chances of a serious collision. Common sense isn’t common … it is learned. We simply don’t know what we don’t know.

Look At The Gaps, Not The Hazards
Since we sold all the livestock on our home place we now use the corral to park trailers (no need to shut the gate either). It’s not big enough to pull in and turn around, so I have to back through the gate with the trailer and park it so that the other trailers are not blocked. If I focus on the gate I can never reach my destination without having to pull up and straighten out a number of times.
