Ski Doo wishes to thank you Dan for the shameless advertising.

Yeah, someone else mentioned that as well!

We all ride Doo's for their reliabilty. It says something when 10 sleds go over 1200 miles without a single issue that wasn't caused by rider error, not even a blown belt...two years in a row! If something should happen, it's also a heck of a lot easier to find a Doo dealer in Canada than any other brand to have the issue fixed.

My good friend and guide on this trip rode his new G4 850 Etec over 9000 trouble free miles this year alone! His previous 800 Etecs all had over 10,000 miles on them before trading up (he gets a new sled every year). Two of those sleds are still on the trails today with nothing rebuilt...all trail riding only, no free style or mountain riding.

I don't think I have heard anyone really legitimately complain about Ski Doo. I think part of that may be brand loyalty - but it seems like every brand has their quirks, really what it comes down to is how well the manufacturer deals with problems as they arise.

One thing I got to say for Ski Doo, those E-TEC's get stupid MPG for a two stroke. My only concern with them is how complicated that power plant is. Suppose that makes no difference so long as it all works! For the cost of these things going 10K miles without problems should be expected.

Looks like an epic trip...
