Over the past 7-8 years the snowmobile industries outlook on the Turbo market has really changed. Not that turbos on sleds were a new idea. Many riders before 2000 were using turbos to help increase the power of the stock snowmobile to King of the Hill. Shortly after 2001 with the introduction of the Yamaha RX1 the Turbo market really boosted. The amount of power that was being tapped from the 4-stroke snowmobiles with turbos was reaching the 400 horsepower range. It wasn’t long before they broke the 400hp with Yamaha Propane Turbos getting 420hp with about 26lbs of boost. (more…)

We lucked out and recieved a great deal of snow this season. In fact, this is the closest to a normal snow fall that I have seen for a couple of years. The last time I remember getting ‘normal’ snowfall was in the 01-02 snow season. Oh the memories, I was riding the second love of my life…my 1998 Polaris 700 RMK 136″. With a few mods, my sled purred like a kitten and pulled like an Ox (remember, we are talking 2001). Ryan Searle and I were living in Island Park, Idaho and West Yellowstone, Montana and you know we were living it up…! (more…)

For those of you who want a true performance snowmobile, look no further than the new Ski-Doo 1200 4-TEC. The high-output four-stroke engine delivers more torque and overall power than the competition. An added bonus – all that power is tuned with a distinctive, head-turning performance sound. You’ll be the envy of all your friends!

Dear Outdoor Enthusiasts and Idaho Residents:

IDAHO BLM TO HOST OPEN HOUSE ON NEW RESOURCE MANGEMENT PLAN
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Idaho Falls District, is preparing a new Resource Management Plan (RMP) for the Upper Snake Field Office (FO) in southeastern Idaho. The Upper Snake RMP will cover the planning areas currently managed under three management framework plans (MFPs) and one RMP: the Big Desert MFP (1981), Big Lost MacKay MFP (1983), Little Lost/Birch Creek MFP (1985), and the Medicine Lodge RMP (1985). The Upper Snake RMP will replace these four land use plans, resulting in a single RMP for the entire Upper Snake FO. (more…)
