What Kind of Sled Do You Really Need?
 

Man, this is a million dollar question. Why? Because the right sled gives you the most joy. It's like your significant other. If you are a good fit with him/her, you spend more time together. Isn't that what we all want with our snowmobiles? I do!

Below are some of the mountain sleds we sell and a what makes each one a great snowmobile!

Summit Adrenaline: Great Mtn Sled that is still a good all rounder. Comes with a snowflap, so it keeps a little cooler than a pure mtn package without snowflap. Who is it good for? Well, it's a really good mountain sled at the best starting price of mountain sleds, so it's a good option for people who want a highly capable mountain sled without quite the expense of the even more mountain focused Edge, X, Expert or Freeride. 

Summit Adrenaline w/Edge Package: Close to the standard Summit Adrelaline with less concern for the trail to the good stuff! Why? Well it's got a 34" front end instead of a 36" -- more tippy on trail, easier to tip in powder. It has a short tunnel/long track design -- more easily pushes deep snow out of the tunnel without a snowflap and more easy to overheats on a trail without a snowflap. 

Summit X: Oh man, this one is a crowd favorite! It's like the Edge with better suspension, adjustable limiter strap, lower bars and different color options. It's really the lightest, easiest handling of all the off-trail Doos. Probably the best choice for the most people who want the best backcountry experience. It is available in Turbo or non-Turbo, and that's a real discussion to have as well. More power isn't better for everyone, and the NA version of the X is still a comparably affordable way into a badass off trail sled while the Turbo costs a few K more!

Summit X w/Expert Package: My fave for a couple years now has been the NA version of the expert. But, it takes a bit more effort to plant in a sidehill or turn in technical conditions -- super planted when you do though. It has a rigid track, creating a bit of that extra effort requirement, and a bit stiffer suspension than an X. Also available in Turbo and non-Turbo. 

Freeride: Well, I've thought about this one a lot. It just looks agressive and fun. Best suspension of the bunch for dropping big ledges, hitting obstacles hard and overall hooliganism! You need a little attitude with this badassery between your legs! Turbo for the super crazy available; non-turbo available for the average crazy!

Well good people, you see you have some options and all are great Ski-Doo Snowmobiles. And I have loved some sleds and motorcycles in my life that I couldn't ride quite as well as others. We sometimes forget that a grin from the Turbo noise makes some people more happy than a re-entry, or a straight line rip down a long meadow is more heart-stopping than a steep sidehill to others. Just have your fun, but spend some time chatting with me when you buy. I love getting people on the best "fun-factor" sleds for them, not me. Although I'm always happy to share which is my favorite and why! I don't just sell snowmobiles, I ride them all winter long and have for more years that I can count.  My wife and I ride every weekend once the snow gets good and we want as many of our customers out enjoying what makes Colorado so great.  See you out there!

A-arm season: Worth it or not!!

Many or most of the sledders reading this have at least bent an A-arm, right? Depending on the extent of damage, it can be expensive and time-consuming too. If you're lucky, it's not too much in parts and a simple old to new swap. Regardless, sleds can be expensive!

Am I saying don't ride? Hell no. It's so fun to start finding a little snow and get your trusty sled out exploring! You know there are some hidden landmines, but ride it that-a-way and you can have a pretty good day out there! I've seen some great video already of riders in real Colorado snow.  If you do bend or break an A-Arm, know that our service department has you covered.  Our knowledgeable snowmobile service team will have you back in the snow in no time.  Give Chris, our awesome service writer, a call if and when you need to get scheduled.  

In 2025, Colorado Ski-Doo dealers were offered the X, Summit X w/Expert Package and Freerides, as well as the Backcountry Xrs for the showroom. We have the best variety of TurboR 850 inventory here or on the way that we've ever had.

There is so much from which to choose when it comes to new Ski-Doo Snowmobiles! And they can be affordable! $11,828.25 plus tax only can get you this super cool little 4-stroke trail hopper! The 2025 Renegade Sport is a useful and easy to operate sled for a lot of people! 

No matter your skill level or where you ride, we have the right 2025 Ski-Doo snowmobile for you in our showroom.  Our staff all ride, so when you buy from Power World, you know you are getting the best advice from knowledgeable riders.  Not to mention you are buying from a small, family owned and operated dealership and your business means the world to us! 

The Experience is a Gift

Man, I was speaking with a friend and customer who bought a new 2025 Ski-Doo Spring Check from Power World this year. While picking it up last week, he mentioned that he liked sharing the experience with his family and friends. Like WOW, that's my passion! I mean, all this stuff is cool, but part of that cool comes from the memories it brings. Then, a couple days later my oldest moto friend/mentor shared that he was fighting Cancer ("we'll run this race," he said), and the "experience" seemed even more meaningful. He's got a good shot at recovery by the way, in spite of being in his early 80s, but regardless of what happens, he brought a life-long joy to me through experiencing it with him -- yes, on cool motorcycles, but with a great friend! The power in power sports is the experience!

I also know that those experiences cost more and more money, and the cost of inflation makes buying new and sometimes used pretty hard for some very hard working people. If we can help you keep an older machine running -- through parts, service or advice -- we really are here to provide a chance to experience what has brought a lot of joy to all of us at Power World.

So, when and if you can, come join us for a weekend ride, whether it's snow, moto, offroad or even bicycling -- at Power World, fun's out there, chase it down!

While the snow may be flying, you can ride dirt year round in the desert.  Now is also the time to check out steep end of season discounts on all Husqvarna motorcycles.  There are great rebates on Husqvarna FE models, including FE450, FE350s, FE350w and FE501w.  Give us a call and give yourself an early Christmas present!  

Have You Looked at the New Doos? 

Hey family and friends, have you seen these new Ski Doo snowmobiles in 2025? They are simply amazing tools for the winter! Tools for fun, for adventure, for access to hard to reach areas and so much more. For me, they are truly as fun as things get. My wife and I are excited to get out on our new X and X w/expert package this season. 

But it is a real commitment too! Have you all checked on your hyfax wear, your carbides, chain case oil integrity, battery life, etc? Schedule your pre-season snowmobile service to make sure your ready to ride when the snow flies.  That expensive sled will last a lot longer if you are giving it some love! Protect it even more by extending warranty if you have some left to purchase. Power World used to offer both factory and after-market warranties, but now we are set on BRP factory extended warranties! Why? Well, our experience with after-market warranties 100% of the time is that for expensive fixes (when a warranty really comes in handy) the after-market companies drag their feet. Don't get me wrong, we end up getting the job covered by the warranty, but if it takes literally 6 months to get it all done, that isn't very satisfying to us or you! That strains our relationship! BRP warranties are much more customer focused and friendly. That makes us all more happy! 

When you do commit, as many of you reading this have in the past, present and intend to in the future, there is a lot of reward. These new machines are so capable. Hard to start? Practically never. Break downs out in the mountains? Super rare (avoid trees and rocks of course!). Fouled plugs? What is that? And on and on. 

And they offer a whole new level of performance! The 850 Etec engine has redefined the sport in many ways. It's the heartbeat of most of Ski Doo performance sleds, along with its little sibling 600 Etec, which was secretly, now publicly, my fave!! Surprised by that? It's like riding a 125 MX bike -- full on throttle all the time.
