From Sledders For Sledders
You might think that after 21,000 miles on a snowmobile, its way overdue to be traded in; or rather parted out. That’s not what Nick Keller thought as he proceeded to add another 22,150 miles on that same snowmobile, a 2010 Yamaha RS Vector. There aren’t a lot of manufacturers who can claim they haveRead More
I have had the opportunity to stay at many great places and the Brook Trout Inn located in West Yellowstone, MT is one of them. When you have a large group of great friends or family this might be the answer you are looking for. The Max Sled crew stayed in the house called BullRead More
Snowmobiling is a demanding sport and over the years we’ve tried many brands of boots. I remember my first “snowmobile” boot, which was actually simply a winter boot, made by Sorel. It had the felt liner and absolutely no lugs on the sole. It kept my feet warmer than wearing tennis shoes, but hardly everRead More
Every year at this time, the MaxSled team heads out West to ride, evaluate and photograph all the new snowmobile models coming for the following season. It sounds like a tough assignment, right? Even though it is long days and a lot of work for our staff, it is a great time and we alwaysRead More
Back in March of 2010 at the SnowShoot in West Yellowstone the 2011 Polaris Pro-RMK was getting a lot of attention. Let’s face it, in the mountain sled wars Ski-Doo had been leading out with some pretty big things over the past couple of years, not the least of which was the feather weight ofRead More

If you were to choose a model from Ski-Doo next season, which would it be? Here are your choices. BRP’s expansion includes severalRead More
In early February the Oval Racers Alliance held their U.S. Nationals at Ogilvie Raceway in Ogilvie, MN. Ogilvie Raceway is normally a dirt track for stock cars. But for this weekend it was transformed into an ice oval for snowmobile racing. These locations work great as there is everything you need for the racer andRead More
Recently I flew in to the Maxsled home state of Minnesota for a long weekend of riding. Once my guides, otherwise known as riding buddies, picked me up at the airport we made a run past the Maxsled garage and checked out a couple of sleds for the weekend. One of the sleds we haveRead More
In a series of 22 locations across the snow belt, Arctic Cat, Polaris and Yamaha will debut a “Sneak Peek” of their new models for 2012. Most are free admission events that will display 15-18 sleds from each manufacturer. That’s 50+ new snowmobiles on one show floor all at the same time. Snowmobilers can see, touch,Read More
