Brands by State or Province in the mountains?

[capulin overdrive]

Supposedly Polaris sells the most mountain sleds, but just don't see that in Colorado.


Colorado seems almost even for brands, or if anything Arctic Cat heavy.


Who rides what and where?

bc and cooke city i noticed about 40% polaris 40% doo 15% cat 5% yamaha Notice that in saskatchewan for flat land sleds too. maybe a bit more cats but ususally doo and polaris about even and are the majority.

 

[RobertTrivanovic]

Here in BC I notice Doos and Poos pretty even then cats, think it has a lot to do with the dealers in the area and how good they are

 

[capulin overdrive]

Agree on the dealer thing, one place I ride has a good Yamaha dealer so see more of them there.

Oregon is the Poo capital

I was in Island Park, ID. last week. Every mountain sled I saw was either Polaris or Skidoo, mostly Polaris. I saw a lot of Cat trail sleds, and Yamahas used for touring Yellowstone.

WTF are you talking about? Everyone in the entire rocky mountain region who had a clue what sleds actually worked rode Ms from 2008-2012 then switched to Pro RMKs in either 2012 or 2013 and have been on those ever since. The only people who didn't follow that route rode Skidoos the whole time.

Right now its pretty well split even in Colorado and from what I can tell the whole rest of the Rockies between Skidoo and Polaris and whoever bought an Arctic Cat in 2012/13/14 has sold it for an XM or a Pro.

Split here betwixt doo and poo, there might actually be a few more doos, cat coming in third. Bought a cat in '14, haven't once considered trading it for a poo or doo, weird.

Around here I see mostly older sleds, the 90's and early 2000's tend to be Polaris or Yamaha, 05 to 10 seem to be more arctic cat than anything, with a decent amount of doos and poos. Newer than that it's mostly Polaris, a little less of the doos, and most of the cats are renters we find stuck off the side of the trail. Newest Yamaha I've seen was maybe a 2010 and said US forest service on the windshield

 

[The Fourth Wolf]

Alaska seems to favor Pros with XMs a close second. A good number of Cat guys are holding on to their M's and Yammi crowd is mostly turbo guys. .

Call it a 40%-Pro/Poo; 35%-XM/Doo; 20%-Cat; 5%-Yammi split

If you factor in the fur-hatted idiots who think the Tundra is the end-all be-all then Doo is the walk-away winner by brand.

Thats just dumb, I have been on a new Cat every year since about 2004, went riding Friday and it was 3 Doos, 2 Cats and 2 Poos until one Poo hit a post and tore off an A arm and limped back to the truck

 

[CO Powder]

When the flatlanders came out from MN a couple of weeks ago it was 6 Pros and a Doo.

The Doos usually have the bigger numbers but they are the best dealer around. The Poo dealer is marginal and the Cat dealer moved 45 minutes further down the road and was never a fiscally sound place to buy new.

The split is usually pretty even, couple Cats, Couple Doos, Couple Poos, Yammi still makes sleds right? I thought I saw a couple at the Cat dealer.

 

[Solarguy]

NW Montana, more Pros by far.

 

[d1100t]

In the group I ride with its 8 cats, 4 poo, 2 doo and 0 Yamaha

It is hilarious how butthurt you are about no one finding cats exciting. You must be the owner of Arctic cat or something. I find it hard to believe that you left your keyboard/the arctic cat forum long enough to go for a ride or that you would even consider going for a ride with someone riding one of those awful poos.

I bet he rides more than you He also rides with me a fair amount and I am always on a Pro.

Yesterday it was one Poo, one Cat (not DD) and three Doos.

Who cares what you ride? My experience has been that they all do the job. If I had developed the dealer relationship and deals that DD gets, I would probably be on a Cat too.

Dave says Hi from the deep CO powder!

 

[Uncle si]

Washington it is mostly KTM, and sadly they have wheels on!

Not butt hurt at all, just amazed someone cold say that everybody that owned a non Pro sold it to buy a Pro, that was just dumb to say anything like that!

I have nothing against Cat, but there were an awful lot of people I saw who bought the new Proclimb sled and wound up unloading it for a Polaris or a Skidoo .... with that said, I'm seriously considering sno-checking a 16' M8 162. Seems like they finally have some of the early bugs worked out of the Proclimb chassis, and I'm still absolutely 100% positive the Suzuki 800 motor is easily hands down no competition the best motor you can get in a sled right now.
