What machine do U ride? How good is it on gas pulling (Tuktu,aiviq,natsiq,family&gear)? :div20: :div20:

Wow, Baker lake, what latitude are you at? around 60? Still have 24hr of sunlight, or are you getting a little twilight now?

Maybe we should have a contest for the furthest north member? For a free HCS sticker. :beerchug:

what I mean is there anybody else from Nunavut territory. which community do u ride in? What machine do ride? How is it pulling a(tow sleigh) which we use to tow everything from hunting supplies,caribou,seal,walrus,arctic-char,lake trout,and family.etc. Hey rob I hope I'm the only one who enters your contest here. since there's 3 of us from my community that are registered in this awsome site! We are slowly losing our 24 hour daylight and it is starting to get darker each night. Finally get to see stars at night our cordinates is at 64. 19'N, 96.02'W...
It is Pretty much Geographical Centre Of Canada. P.S Rob Could I get a HCS sticker anyways

Anyone else further north? If not then you win a sticker. PM me with your address. But you have to promise and post some pics from way up there.

I'm going to have to check my geography on this one. Good pic..............but dark .........as expected..............Are you further north than the "frozen balls" guy with the Yak pics?

WHEN DO YOU START RIDING UP IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD
??? OCTOBER ???

How do u add pictures to each post?

darn, arctic sledhead lives a couple of streets north of me. well theres nunavut rider that lives a little further north than he does, i guess he'll get the sticker

Oulu, Finland. 65°01’ N, 25°28’ E

anybodyelse living higher than our position? :div20: .. Or What is your furthest ride? Anybody! Hey finnish_guy how is it riding up in your area? is the snow rock solid too?is the temp around -40celcius too? :beerchug:

Riding usually starts in late december and lasts till easter. The Gulf Stream somehow finds its way here and warms the west coast so that you need to up north if you want to ride after easter. Snow is not rock solid but pretty hard... In winter temperature is usually around -10C and can drop near -40C.

I am from Iqaluit and Baker Lake and Iqaluit are about the same so dont really know who is further up north. We usually get snow end of Oct or beginning of Nov.

wow, I never knew Finland was that far north!

I'm pretty sure Iqaluit is higher than baker. I think theres a couple members from on here from Iqaluit.

Yes, we are pretty far north. The northermost (hope the spelling was right ) point is 70°5'30'' N

We have a cabin up there (about 68°54’ N 27°01’ E) Easter is the best time for sledding there. Long days and a lot of snow.

Yeah I think Iqaluit is higher. So your from Iqaluit too. I am pretty sure I know who you are. You know me if that is you. We use to go riding. My machine is my username.

Ok Iqaluit guys we are hoping to be able to set up our own forum for the snowmobile club. This will help to notify people of up coming events and my own selfish reason.... more people to ride with on those days when you're off and your friends can't come out to play, work, wife, whatever. That way you would just post a message.... couple of us are going for a ride @ 2pm, if you want to go meet at the gas bar. With any luck a few people will show up. Hopefully I’ll have it up and running for the winter.

I think that is a good idea. A great idea actually. I have quite a bit of people I would be able to invite. Still got at least 2 months to think about it until the White Gold comes.

Wrong.

Iqaluit is just a touch further south than Baker.

Iqaluits Coords are:
Longitude: 68° 30' West
Latitude: 63° 45' North

Baker Lake Coords are:
Longitude : 96° 5' 0" W
Latitude : 64° 18' 0" N

There are a tonne of pics at iglu.ca if you still wanna see :þ

Hey fellas, I am in Cape Dorset, Nunavut. Not as far north as you guys. I've applied for work in Iqaluit and some other spots. Need computer job. Bought an 01 MXZ 380. Nothing like the F7 back home but faster than walking!! -Rudi

Hey,

If you want, I can set you up your own -category- on www.iglu.ca
This site is owned by me, dedicated to the Rankin Inlet Snowmobile Clubs.

Lemme know, and I'll set you up.
I dunno how -fast- the site will come up for you. But once the broadband comes about, should be no real prob.

-- Also I have a couple Gmail Invites I can give away right now. if you want a gmail account - send me an email at enigma007@gmail.com asking for the invite. --

Thanks. I've been to your site before checking out the snowcross pics and you have a nice site. I will speak to the prez when he gets back in town but I'm going out shortly after so it could be a month before you hear from me again. I'm a hardware guy so I don't have much of a clue about this end of it but I did have a couple of guys lined up to help out. Sounds like a great idea! Thanks.

i'm not from nunavut, but from nunavik (northern quebec)

i ride a 2004 pro x 2 800, 2001 zr 800 and a 2000 mxzx 440.

Anyone participate in teh nunavut snow challenge?

I can't wait till we can ride again

We are riding here in Kuujjuaq, :beerchug:

I am originally from Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, moved here to Ulukhaktok, NWT, formerly known as Holman, and guess what? Looks like I'm the furthest north, N70 45' 46' W117 48' 22'. I haven't been able to put pics with me on my sled when the season started, here's one after I just got it in on the barge. Parts should be in today...I'll keep you guys posted....

Another one here from Iqaluit, Nu. Not the best riding this year so far, better out on the land for hunting, but around town it sucks. Too much like concrete.. hehehe...

Hey yall. I am from Kugluktuk NU. I ride a 2006 Trail RMK and I have a wife and two kids. Both me and the wife have just decided to buy our first house. I am glad to see all of you Inuks on this site. Now we just need more over at snowmobilefanatics.com lol. Have a good day.

i worked a trouble ticket with the police station at Baker Lake. I never went up but I had to arrange to get parts flown in to replace the damaged CPIC terminal that was there. Man that was about 20 years ago. Baker Lake. That stuck with me because when it said Lake I had to look it up. It was like holy crap. they have a police sttion there. How many people in Baker Lake now? That is North Dude. We need to get some of the Military guys stationed at Alert to join on here, its the furthest inhabited area in Canada if not mistaken.

hey mild storm. you see that. most of the guys that "depend" on their sleds for work and survival use Polaris. As we figured.

to all you Northern riders can you post pictures for us Southerners. What are the temps reaching in Baker Lake these days? 20C or higher?

HEY Drog01
arcticslehead here from the geographical centre of canada!
I"LL post a few pics of out CANADA DAY parade and some of MY pics just to show u fellow HSC fellow see how long we ride UP here in the canada's(nunavut) arctic. just to proof how it is up here during the spring and summer months!

Blizzard day in baker lake in april

I've been a member here for a few months but haven't downloaded a pic of my awesome sled yet.

I'm originally from Chesterfield Inlet and living in Cambridge Bay now. Iqaluktutiaq (Cambay) is an great town with awesome people. I've been here 2 years now and don't plan on leaving anytime soon.

Great to see fellow Nunavut-miuts, and others who love snowmobiling on this site.

I ride an '06 Mach Z Adrenaline. When I ran it stock, it reached 106 mph. At 2007 Cambridge Bay Frolics (Radar Run) it reached 116 mph (clutch kit and performance pipe) but my top speed so far is 118. This sled loves the lake and nowhere does it perform better than on it.

Fellow Iqalummiut right here! Only my second post so just saying hello. I'm finally going hunting tomorrow, can't wait! Anyone know what happened to the Nunavut Snow Challenge? I heard it was stopped because insurance was too expensive? I wonder if anyone is still trying to get it started again? Anyone who raced in this knows it was a great race and should keep happening every year.

Im surprised there isnt anyone here from spence bay.....thats way up there! Ive lived there, baker lake, fort simpson and yellowknife back in the 80s.

I think I am the furthest North now...I live in Ulukhaktok, NWT which is N70 45' 46' W117 48' 22'. Chow.

anyone ride up in Rankin Inlet,say, Hello to ARNIE B.(with the town) & Joe Innukshuk..down at the rink..and the rest of the boys...SEE U ALL IN THE FALL...sinitarvik sucks...need some sweets from the sugar rush cafe...lol
