THE INTREPID
SNOWMOBILER
By Crag Nicholson
Christmas gifts for Snowmobilers
Having trouble getting that perfect gift for the snowmobilers
on your Christmas shopping list? Or maybe you're a snow-
mobiler wishing for something other than another pair of socks
from Aunt Bertha. Readers often ask me, so I'm leading off a
new season of columns with some cool, affordable presents
from my recommended products file.
Survival Guide: John Milne's "Getting Back, a trailwise guide
to snowmobile survival" packs 138 pages with how to prepare
for and handle trail emergencies from breakdowns to being
stuck and from injury to being lost. Written by a snowmobiler
for snowmobilers, this book is the only one of its kind and is a
must read for touring riders. It's also peace of mind for those
waiting at home. By mail order only - $11.95 plus taxes and
shipping (Visa or MC). Call 705/739-7669 or fax (705)/739-5005.
Trailer Lock: Perhaps security is the best gift for travelling
snowmobilers. "Armed Guard" is a lockable wheel boot that
clamps onto a tire rim to immobilize the trailer. With sled thiev-
ery rampant, this bolt -cutter proof device, complete with cus-
tom lock in a tamper -proof chamber, is not only the ultimate
trailer lock, to my knowledge it's the only one available in Can-
ada. Ideal for use in all seasons, it even boasts a warning re-
minder to stick on your trailer hitch so you won't forget to un-
lock before trying to drive off. By mail order only - $69.95 plus
shipping and taxes. Call 204/632-1591 or fax 204/632-1578.
Dealer inquiries welcome.
Sled Lock: Now that the trailers secure, consider a sled anti-
theft device. The E.Z. Traxx Lock slips through the track and
locks in a protected housing that deters would-be thieves.
Cothes with a handy carrying case that attaches to the side of
the snowmobile. $49.95 at many local dealers and snowmobile
accessory outlets.
Back -Saver. What good is a snowmobiler with a bum back?
There are many sled lifting devices on the market, but the best
one I've found comes from P.E.I. It's light, stable, fits most sleds
and requires so little effort that it can be used easily by women
and children. Called "Sled Jack", the stand has a long arm that
levers the sled off the ground, pins into place and then folds
back on itself for easy storage. $75 by calling Porta -Flex Prod-
ucts at 902/566-4144. Dealer inquiries welcome.
Ice Spikes: Drowning is the leading cause of snowmobile fa-
talities. Many riders crash through the ice and can't get out. But
with IcEscape around your neck, you have a pair of ice picks
handy to help you get a grip on the ice surface and pull yourself
to safety. $24.95 at local dealers and snowmobile accessory out-
lets.
HandWarmers: I often complained of frozen fingers until I
tried the unique, two-stage mitts called "Haliburton". Each full
leather outer has removable inner, insulating liner - the same
principle used in boots - that traps warm air to keep your hands
toasty. Overnight, separated components dry thoroughly.
$64.95 from local Ski Doo dealers.
Just For Fun: Last year's OFSC permit holders will have re-
ceived the world's first snowmobiling calendar in the mail.
What better way to tum on friends and relatives to your sport
than by giving this beautiful, full colour 1995 stocking stuffer?
$9.95 plus taxes and shipping by mail order from 705/739-7669
or fax 705/739-5005.
Accessories Galore: For last minute ideas, snowmobile man-
ufacturers have an extensive catalogue of clothing and ac-
cessories to brighten up snowmobilers' lives. But know the
brand of their sleds as owners get downright cranky receiving
competitor's colours by mistake. If you don't know their actual
model, safe gift bets are map cases; handle bar bags; thumb and
hand warmers; first aid/emergency kits; saddle bags and logo'd
sweats. Hedge your bet by checking your local dealer's ex-
change policy in advance.
That's a quick roundup of neat gear and gadgets that should
impress the most discriminating snowmobiler with gift -buying
acumen. If you are that discriminating snowmobiler and hope to
find anything from this list under your Christmas Tree, time's a
wasting. I suggest a subtle approach such as cutting out this col-
umn, circling your choice and pasting it on the forehead of your
blessed giver. After all, Old Man Winter is already breathing
down our necks.
Until the next time, happy trails and remember: Sled Smart -
Ride Safe, Ride Sober. For information on local snowmobiling,
Snowaramas and clubs, contact the Ontario Federation of Snow-
mobile Clubs (OFSC) at 705/739-7669. To plan your Ontario
tour, call 1 -800 -236 -SLED.
