1998 polaris super sport 488 fan with reverse. It came with some carbides that from what I'm finding fit an arctic cat. (24.25" long 4.5" from back stud to middle stud. 5" from middle stud to front stud. 2" 5" 2" pattern.)

I’ve only convinced one friend to buy a sled. He ended up with a 2000 Yamaha SRX triple. So hopefully this year I can get on the rivers. (Didn’t dare solo) otherwise it’ll be nothing but ditch banging.

Blew up the 700 in the UP last winter. Have a 600 parts sled lined up. Bought a couple Revs in the mean time.
 
I got out of the hobby, it was fun. My sister started a snowmobile club in the 1990's in upstate New York. There's nothing more fun than 50 snowmobilers bar-hopping until the wee hours of the morning. But then it ended after we got multiple years of no snow.


I had a $75k snowmobile (along with a bunch of other sleds) when I lived in Colorado before Covid. I also got a small skidoo 370 for the girlfriend. We used to trailer them to group campouts in the Rocky Mountains. In some towns you could drive them right down the streets. Good memories...

yep, carbides last so much longer and they sure help turn when you are trying to get gas or cross a parking lot or street … lol
I can't tell from the picture if they're plastic skis or just ski skins, but with carbides on a plastic ski you're not running too far across parking lots or streets before the skis melt into a glob, hahahahahaha...:rofl:
