Hello everyone at Snowest. I am new to the forum. I have been an avid rider since 2008. My first sled was a 2008 xp 800. My second a 2012 xp 800x, that was stolen by some losers. This year I have snowchecked 2013 XM800X I am patiently waiting for. I live in lower mainland B.C. now and ride out of Whistler, Coquihalla, Valemount, Golden, Revy, SilverSands, Chetwynd. Previously lived in Alberta and rode Kakwa and over into McBride, and all the places above in B.C. and anywhere the snow fell...the ditch even. I ride because I only think about the moment when I'm riding, all the stressers disappear. Its healthy and challenging and I sleep well at the end of a good day of riding. Cheers to all.
