Snowmobiles
by Lewis McLeod Sterling Mountain is located in northwestern British Columbia, approximately forty miles north of Terrace on Highway 113. The main trails are maintained by the Skeena Valley Snowmobile Club, along with two cabins.

You maybe saw bits and pieces all week, but it’s finally fully released today. The new Polaris 800 PRO-RMK 155. Polaris added a lot of features to this model. With the mountain segment continually growing, it seems these are the models that get the cool stuff first. And the big news is that the 155 [...]

“More of a Good Thing” is how I would describe Ski-Doo’s 2012 Summits. Last year the new 800 E-TEC motor was only available in limited quantities, but for 2012 the production line is up and running full bore and Doo has moved the E-TEC 800R into full release. In fact, if you want the carbed [...]
Ok, so you read about the new sleds in the spring and you’ve been suffering through the long, hot days of summer waiting to get your chance to see them in person along with all the other accessories and gear from the aftermarket. Well now its time to get your fall calendars marked with the [...]

Nate has spent the last while as Klim’s marketing-promotions manager and has been a great advocate for the snowmobile community.
