snowpromod reacted to mikerider in RDL 2021: Plan B
I agree the small outfitters are a nice experience when saddlebagging. But for staying in one spot for two weeks and doing day trips, I enjoy the amenities of a big hotel and a town with lots of restaurants and bars. I have had nothing but great experiences in RDL.

snowpromod got a reaction from Carman in Best place you have ever stayed?
Sounds similar to our Hotel Universal - RDL experience last year, except we had reservations for everything...it’s on my list of “no go’s”. I totally agree, I would much prefer a “Bush Lodge/Outfitter” vs a big Hotel in town - I hate sidewalks, LOL.
Hot Tubs and Suanas are a huge plus at the end of a long day, but the people often times make the place. Good people/owners can make a shit hole great and they can make a 5 Star place a “ No Go” for sure.
We just got home from Ravage, the place is impressive for sure and we had the place practically to ourselves!

snowpromod got a reaction from dooright in To off trail riders who can’t stay on the trail
As a rider who enjoys both on and off trail, I think some additional education and resources would go a long way. We have spent a lot of time researching our off trail trips, we are always looking for legal places to play...it would be great to have a map that depicts this. Will this fix the issues, absolutely not - we are driving as I type this and every farm field with a trail we pass has corners cut and tracks everywhere...my guess is that most of these tracks are from trail riders, not those seeking out deep powder.
I think if the snowmobile community works together, we can build something that caters to all riding types!
- Our off trail trip was out of Pourvoirie Wapishish in February, we had a great time and never laid a track on the trails!

snowpromod got a reaction from Pipeman in Trailer advise
I have had a few trailers over the years, I think I'm on number 18 in 8 years - from all my experiences this is my list:
7.5' wide - the perfect width, I have had narrower and wider, the 7.5' seems to be the sweet spot. Fuel Doors - we never use them Man Door - is a must IMO, we are always in and out all the time Finished Interior - I like something on the walls - protects the outside from the inside, and your buddies are never as careful as you are Interior height - 6'6" minimum, it is nice to walk around with your helmet on Length - 18'+V we can get 4 into with some work - I'd say go 20' or 22' Aluminum Wheels Axles - I like the idea of torsion's, but springs are easier to fix road side - we are currently running torsion's Helmet Cabinet - great for getting some stuff off the floor Here is the current rig - R&R PSD .... I have been really happy with R&R

snowpromod got a reaction from Fuse6 in Gas and Luggage Combo Options for Ski Doo LINQ System
Personally I am not a fan of the LinQ Gas Can and luggage, this year I ran the following setup and it worked out great! WhiteOut Tech Rack, 2 Rotopaks mounted to the rack, and a Mountainsmith waterproof duffel (ROK straps are amazing to hold the duffel in place)! The LinQ mounts hold the rack on, so I can take everything off the sled with the 4 LinQ releases. I ran one rotopak for gas and one for oil!!
