On my first attempt, I did receive a message " that the state or province needed to be 5 characters or longer" Maybe this was the issue? Try spelling out your state. Don't abbreviate and If the state has only 4 letters, (ohio, iowa) I guess I would add "USA" . Please let me know if you still have a problem If you haven't signed up yet, check it out, great prizes!

Greg du Vermont Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 QR buddy George "Je me souviens" was asking me about addtional details and highlights on the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region. SledMagazine.com has just published the final chapter of a trip report in this area. Columnist Pierre Tremblay did a nice job with his White gold country: articles. If you have interest in this area, you may find it of interest. Throughout the season, SledMagazine.com publishes trail experience articles written by several of our 30 member team of Columnist and Collaborators. Always something new to be found on SledMagazine.com. I can't wait to publish my feedback and experiences with the Polaris 800 Swicthback ProR LE as well as the 7 other long term trial sleds that the SledMagazine.com / Motoneiges.ca team will be reporting on this season.

Greg du Vermont Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) The mid season report on the Polaris 800 Switchback ProR LE is up http://www.sledmagazine.com/actions/page?docId=6062&ctx=snowmobile&p=Polaris%20800%20Switchback%20ProR%20LE%20Mid%20season%20report%20 Today is the first day of riding the 2014 models at Snow Shoot in West Yellowstone Montana. Played with the ZR 7000 Sno Pro Limited this morning, very interesting. Feels and responds like a Cat with a very nice engine option. The balance was very nice. If you read the 2014 Arctic Cat and Yamaha articles on SM.com, you will recall that both the clutches and clutching calbrations are unique to AC or Yamaha. I am told that the Viper's feel will be distinctivly different. More later, as I will put time on the Vipers in the days to come.
