How was the show? Sat. 16th.

[2Thetopp]

I was unable to attend the snow show Saturday and I'm limited on time on Sunday. So I'm hoping to get some insight on the must see products, what booths I don't want to miss, great deals you found etc. other than stopping by Fastrax to say hi, Saws (donation) and buy a calendar no real plan and very little time. Thanks for your help.

First time going to the snow show as I bought my sled after the show last year and for that matter had no idea I was buying one but it was a good one. I was surprised on the amount of sleds and parts for sale in the Blue lot much better swap shopping there than inside the show. But once we got inside the show it was good just had a couple things we had to get for the wife and it was successful! Cascade Playtime had some great pricing on non current clothing. Wife scored a Scott Jacket some gloves and we picked up some socks for the family. So all in all it was good time.

I did not think it was as good as last year, I bought a new Klim jacket and gloves, got some scott goretex gloves for my dad. Couple guys in my group got new Klim backpacks and some other gear.

Oh two new Pro RMK's were ordered today in our group, I jumped on one and dang if that does not feel like a great sled. I was not as impressed with the freeride xp as I thought I would be.

Over all it's good but seemed to be less vendors this year and there were less good deals out there too.

Ya we missed a couple of vendors , but the swap meet was huge compared to last year. Plan on spendin money on things you didn't know you needed.

In my opinion, it was awesome!! The swapmeet was packed!!! Which was great but like others have said, not as many vendors. And i missed the free energy drinks otherwise it was alot of fun! We found if we took a couple guys with us that all wanted to buy the same thing....they give you a better deal when you buy in bulk....obviously. There were some crazy builds inside the showplex also, shout out to fastraxx: "your sled build was sooooooo nice, great job!!" It was another great year of chillin with the bros and spending money. Cant wait to ride!!

I thought it was great, got a new hood and seat for my M7 for 100!!!!!

Wasn't bad all in all... The blue swap lot was PACKED! even in the afternoon when we finally made it over there.... A few less vendors than last year maybe but not bad... I scored a new set of Scott goggles for a good price and an Elevation 6 dvd from Chris K... then picked up a pair of Superclamps from Dan at the JET Chevrolet booth (thanks again Dan) I donated a dollar for the trailer raffle from Wssa, but I FORGOT to stop by the saws booth and make a donation I would agree that most of the sled prices did seem a bit high this year for some reason... oh well, I wasn't in the market this season anyhow, lol. Glad to see we had great weather, it made it really enjoyable to walk around and see EVERYTHING, haha. The new PRO RMK again looked very impressive and I will be eager to see how they do this season... they sure are light-weight.


Just took a couple quick pics this afternoon just before we headed out so the crowd had thinned a bit. Klim certainly had a large display this year as was reported from other shows!

It was a good show. Picked up a nice low milage 06 Rev for the wife for a great price. Alot of deals first thing in the am. It seemed like Motorfist was pushing hard this year. Its nice to see someone give Klim a little competion!

Dont forget Mini-cascademk lol

Great meeting you guys today! I look forward to helping dig yas out this season!

Show was awsome this year, the blue lot was full earlier this year than any other year I can recall. I bought a new new klim jacket, free-ride pants, 2-cool vents for my pro rmk, three movies and a case of redline oil. I had an absolute blast as usual, just fun to walk around and see all the cool stuff. I thought the prices people were asking for the sleds was pretty high, good thing I wasn't in the market for one. The sled that fastrax biult was top notch, the sign under it said you could take it home for $21,000 I though that was a good price. I will be suprised if someone did not buy that sled for that kind of money, I find it hard to believe he don't have more than that in it if you include all the labor to biuld it.

i too thought the show was a little better last year,,, but I aint complain'in, i like to see whats forsale every year and what people think there sled is worth. my buddy is lookin for a sled this year in the 5 to 6 k range. Ac didnt seem to have many people selling in that price range for 05 to 09 sleds, poo had a couple of decent deals in that price range, and so did doo,,,,,, But if your lookin for an Xp,,, you could almost find a 2 for the price of 1 deal(lol) seemed to me that there were a ton of them forsale.

I liked the fastrax sled and winters 6ooxp,(minus the oil slick) a good time had once again

 

[sunbather1969]

snow show

thought the show was great , the weather was even better , the fastrax sled was the best looking sled at the show in my opinion, got the wife some klim inferno gear , a couple t-shirts and the schooled again dvd . threw down for the zbroz rear skid shocks, bought the fox zero pros for the front this summer, wish i would have waited and went with zbozs up front to . great job wssa

 

[1Fast68]

Show was great, wandered around, found everything i was looking for and even some stuff i didn't need lol. Met yammadog at the SAWS booth. Gotta go get to work on the sled!

Prices seemed high

If you think $3000.00 for a nice 06 m-7 153 2200 miles is high you must be looking in the 1500.00 range. There were some killer deals in the blue lot.

 

[i'llDooit]

not looking for a 700

 

[HUNDO]

Saw a really clean M8 turbo for $8000, a tricked out mountain converted IQR for $5500 (I think that's how much it was), and tons of other good deals. Sure there were some that thought their stuff was worth a mint...but they get to ride em again this year.

Blue lot swap wasn't bad, but the swap inside sucked IMO. There seemed to be a lot less this year than last year...lots of junk too.

The Roadhouse Saturday night was the best part of the weekend for me
