Wouldnt it cost a ton to own and operate a non-yammy sled?

where do the suzuki motors come from??

Don't forget about Norway and Sweden, and the guys that have been posting on SW from Russia.

Love the old 80 something phazers blasting around with the mountain sleds in one of those videos. Talk about work, you really got to keep speed up on those things to get through snow. I say through because everyone knows the old phazer's disn't go over it. Like riding a speeding brick with skis. I remember many a trip being thrown on our phazer, never anything but full throttle or youd be burried in snow getting smacked upside the head for it. I was never so happy when the beast finally siezed up one day.

One more quick observation, minivans and suv's pulling the sleds up the hill rather than 3/4 ton trucks. Some of their vehicls don't way much more than the sleds.

awesome link.. had no idea!

The northern part of the main island is where I learned to ride a sled. We would get an average of about 220 in of snow. This was not the mountain areas where we rode but in the city near the ocean. I had a blast. I also did alot of Motocrossing there. I lived there for 10 years.

Good buddy of mine spent 8 years at Misawa Air Base in northern Honshu (that's the main island). I've been there twice. Both times in early April, both times there was a buttload of snow.

Maybe it's time for the sledders answer to the surf cult classic "Endless Summer"

Endless Winter--some sponsored pros (and me...ya know for the schlubb factor) tour the world chasing the best snow....

Shane Kelly (summit films) and I are all set for Endless Winter I (a sled chronicle). We are just waiting for "the" money from our SPONSHURES! There are a couple of minor logistical issues that seperate the Endless Summer versus the Endless Winter...while our new PRO is light it doesn't really count as carry on! The back up plan is to win the lottery and fund it ourselves. stay tuned..he h ehe

Misawa is where I spent my 10 yrs. The mountains north-west of Misawa are full of snow. About an hour and half drive (at 40 kph) to the unload spot (near the Shichinohe Ski resort). If you did not get there early, there would be not parking. It filled quick.

So if they poach tracks...do they have to commit Hari Kari?

I now have the fever and we have snow. Man that looks like fun. Thanks for sharing.
