No kidding!! Need more snow but that is coming Saturday and Sunday. Sounds like 2' over most of the mountains.

Did they quite? A junky will always sleep in the dumpster next to a crack house .

There Bretts trucks, this time of year you will see him where ever he can find snow.

I thought only skidoo did their testing with helicopters...

They do the photo shoots for next years catalog every year about this time, and always at Togwotee

Now why would anyone make the leap from "seeing a trailer with stickers on it" to "I wonder if they are testing turbo'd mtn sled"

WTF?

LOL

well Scott that is a easy deduction. As we all know stickers=mods.......big stickers=big mods=turbo

Brett does Mtn testing for AC. He has a company called Snowmobile Research Service. Maybe some product testing or photo shoots who knows.

But on the turbo thing, our local dealer recieved a fax from AC stating the the Backcountry Edition sled is with Boondocker and Burandt and not a factory thing. Soooo are they telling the truth. HCR maybe with a turbo? I am getting out the WIGI board to find out these answers. My dog knows but will not tell me.

They are usually testing on the Grand Mesa each year.

Yeah they were at Togwotee with trailers and dynos, sleds, and A$$HOLES to go with it. My buddy just bought an 08 arctic cat......first arctic cat purchase and had been doing 2 days of riding. It had a bog in it on the bottom end so we stopped by the trailer on the way back the 2nd night about 6:00.....they were out chatting and looking at sleds. We asked them if they could tell us anything about his cat 1000 or if they had heard of any issues with a bog.

He looked right at us and said "No I can't.....I don't have time!" Oh really, they were just standing around doing nothing. I mean he didn't even make an attempt or nothing. Just told us to get lost. Made the rest of the arctic cat owners in our group real proud. Think I'll stick with skidoo a little longer.

No offense MTNDOO but, you spoke with one person who happens to ride a cat and he was an azz now you are going to switch brands. You sound kinda sensitive.......

No I am not switching brands........I have always been a doo guy. I actually really like the M1000. I wasn't meaning that to be a generalization that Arctic Cat sucks as a brand, cause if I was going to own anything else, it would probably be that. I just couldn't believe what a dick those 2 guys were we talked to.......

Just not the normal fellow snowmobiler mentality and treatment you usually expect. Not saying a skidoo rep wouldn't do it either. Just was a surprise.

You would think if any of these peeps were serious of testing there gear they would be in a place that had real snow like right now,hhmmm revelstoke comes to mind.

I know Brett, one of the nicest guys that I have met. Not sure about the factory guys though. They probably get tons of people coming up to them wondering what they are doing. Does not take anytime to be nice though. Especially when you are representing a product line and those people coming up are the ones that use your product.
