Yikes! Didn't expect it this early! This is going to be a looooong 5 months! :banghead:

At least you will have time to give the sled the customary 10 wax jobs in the time you are waiting for snow. Not to mention the time spent sitting on the sled, pretending you are hauling through the trails. I know the feeling, I bought my 800 in August.

You are going to have a blast with that Switchback this winter. That thing should ride real smooth and do real good in the powder. We will be needing pictures as soon as you have it home! Enjoy!!

yea...I'll take a bunch of pics as soon as it is in the garage! Should be an interesting winter...4 of the 8 guys I ride with went crossover sleds this year, 2 Switchback 600s, my 800 and another guy got a Renegade 600.

This was after we made friends with an Atikamekw (sp?) indian guide out of Manawan, Quebec. (North of St. Michelle de Saintes). He took us on a 250 + mile loop...we were only on groomed trail for about 10 miles. All back country ridgelines, streams and lakes! We are doing a 7 day tour with him this February...he is going to take us to all the northen indian villages (read: no white man there)!!

CAN'T WAIT!!!

That's awesome!!! Atleast you have it now. My dad ordered a new XCR 600 and didn't get it until the snow was ready to fly. He was ready to have it well before that so he could check it over. Never know what day it was built on. Hope yours was on a Wednesday. He had some things that he had to get up to spec before he rode it.
