About this listen

We love to talk all things snowmobiling. We started riding together in the mid 70's and have seen some amazing changes. From pulling the cord to pulling our hair out. We have no shortage of stories to share!

Sledding has always been a passion of ours and we want to share some of those stories and experiences with you.


Nothing would make us happier than introducing this great sport to new riders or rekindling a lost love by reintroducing snowmobiling to past riders and getting them back on the trails.

    We dive right into the increased enforcement we are seeing right across the country. The tickets are flying and fines are no fun.

    Arctic Cat has made a purchase. Widescape in now a part of the family. They look cool, but will they draw a following? It is nice to see them investing in the industry.

    Journey For Sight has done their 40th ride. The start in Flin Flon and end up in down in the South West corner of the province near the Turtle Mountains. The ride is over 600KM. The money raised goes to local eye services in the north west of the province.

    There’s a snowmobile movie being shot in Beasuejour MB. If you have any racing experience, you should track them down, they are looking for riders and sleds.

    Wasaga Beach is doing a snowmobile parade in an effort to break the current Guinness Book record of 1047 sleds. You need a running sled with a valid trail pass to enter.

    Send us your warm up shack pictures, pictures, it would be nice to share pictures of your favorite place to warm up while out on the trail. Even the fugly shacks would be cool to see. Memories are created in many places.

    Lanigan SK has had a troubling incident. Four coyotes were run down by snowmobilers. Two were killed the other two left to die. If you have any info call the TIPP line and let these guys pay for their actions.

    Steve has a great tech tip. He also asks what was the best sled motor ever built. Chime in on this one.

    Thanks for joining us!

  • Think Before You Ride
    Feb 4 2026

    Rob goes off on how many people have been killed or seriously injured this season. The stats he collected were from early January 2026 and far from complete yet very concerning. Then he and Steve get into an interesting community event in Elliot Lake ON. The town hall held a safety training course run by the OPP and made it an event with food, fun, and prizes.

    They both get into suspension service and how critical keeping an eye on your skid before, during, and after the season can change the quality of your riding all winter.

    Do you ride with people that put rules or restrictions on who can ride with them? Often, they make sense for the type of riding that group is doing. Share the rules and why they are in place.

    Wolf guy is in the news again and he continues to disgust us. https://wyofile.com/wolf-torment-defendant-cody-roberts-wants-animal-cruelty-case-tossed/

    Do you need parts drop shipped to your Sled Cave? When you do, get in touch with Steve. He’ll expedite those parts and get you back on the snow ASAP.

  • Mistakes Were Made
    Jan 21 2026

    We try to be accurate when sharing news or telling a story, but sometimes we slip up. We’re fine with being corrected and will adjust as necessary. Free February from Season 1 Episode 2 is an example of an oops. Trail passes are always required in Manitoba.

    Everyone has a Sled Cave that they are proud to work in. Cool caves usually attract a few more buddies to help work on your project or at least make sure the beer doesn’t get stale. We’d love to see pictures of yours.

    BRP (Skidoo)makes a large donation to Ride Out Intimidation. It’s their way to shine a light on being bullied. They call it Yellow Day. It’s a good cause.

    Safety has been a theme this season. We continue to talk about safety because people keep getting hurt, and worse, dying. Try to think before you go out.

    The Yahoo’s are prominent in What Was He Thinking. The OPP caught some dumb asses shooting up the area around Muskoka. These guys were so stupid they actually posted video’s.

    Steve has a great Tech Tip on JIS screw drivers.

    We dive into exhaust systems and focus on can’s. Many people make changes to their exhaust systems, but are they doing enough to ensure their engine won’t flame out. Are rice cakes a better performance enhancer than a cheap exhaust can? Steve asks what’s more important performance, volume, or sore ears?
