Re: Skis to Snowboard ?

I think getting the basic feel behind a snowmobile at slow speeds is a great way to go because you're in total control. On the hill you have to deal with getting off the lift which is "interesting" if you've never done it. Then you have to deal with speed management and edge catching. Don'...

Re: Frozen pump

I use pure silicone spray on the shaft and inside the cylinder and o rings every other time i use it. Clean it regularly, keep it indoors and ALWAYS pull up on the handle a little before putting it away ( so the o rings won't take an upward set) Pumps are touchy, If you take care of them, they'll ta...

Re: Lets do some damage!

Checked North Long @ 4 pm today and it had about two and a half to three inches of ice. I walked all over with the ice chisel and it took 3 hard shots to go through everywhere. Tonight is supposed to be sub 0 which should add another half to 1 inch If the forecast holds, ( S15 plus, sunny and 28) it...

Re: rechargeable pumps

Mark is spot on about the Coleman pump. I bought one three years ago and have used the hell out of it from 15 below to 90 above. Way faster and about 1/10th the price of some two stage models. The key, like he said, was to inflate through the deflate valve (larger volume of air) It's a balmy -21 tod...

Re: North Long 371 Bay Sat

Ice toy rally, that has a nice ring to it! Se works great @ North Long and I'm sure the surface will be rocking in the USA.
Looks like the temps will be staying well below freezing after today, so we should be in good shape. I'll check it out tonight
and post the results.
