About this listen

We love to talk all things snowmobiling. We started riding together in the mid 70's and have seen some amazing changes. From pulling the cord to pulling our hair out. We have no shortage of stories to share!

Sledding has always been a passion of ours and we want to share some of those stories and experiences with you.


Nothing would make us happier than introducing this great sport to new riders or rekindling a lost love by reintroducing snowmobiling to past riders and getting them back on the trails.

  • Monster Rides & Full Bellies
    Jan 7 2026

    Sled people are usually some type of motorhead. Very seldom do you know a guy that only has a sled with no other toys. We’re both guilty of having all kinds of toys. We kick off the show talking about the roadster Rob recently bought and drove halfway across Canada desperately trying to beat the snow.

    We jump over to Taiga’s announcement of international distribution of their Nomad electric sled. Is electric the way of the future? We break down the value of having an electric sled.

    Have you ever ridden across a floating sled bridge? They have one on Muskoka Ontario. It sounds like a great idea, is it feasible in more areas?

    In Estevan Saskatchewan they are organizing their second monster ride. Their first was over 2000 Km’s, this year they plan on going much further.

    Do you have a favorite restaurant to stop in while out on a ride? Nobody wants a crappy hamburger when they’re out for a full day of riding. Tell us about the best spots to go and why they make your mouth water.

    Steve continues his threat to organize a vintage derby, or just a vintage ride. Give us your thoughts for this type of ride. We would also like to hear about any vintage rides that are going on.

    Steve has a great tech tip on steering systems, specifically carbide wear bars, sizes, and how they can have a positive effect on the control you have on your sled. They can even play a part in how you set up your rear suspension.

  • So This Is Christmas
    Dec 24 2025

    Welcome to our Christmas episode.

    The Ontario government makes a huge contribution to snowmobiling. We break this story down getting into how important this move is. We are hoping more provinces follow this lead.

    Should vintage sleds see a trail pass discount? Vintage snowmobiling is a fast-growing part of the riding season. We chat about why it’s growing in popularity. There are several compelling reasons why this should be examined by the powers in control of this. Let’s hear from you on this one.

    Check out the new Tech Tips and Relaxation playlist we’ve added to the Sled Talk YouTube page. We’ll keep adding tips that Steve has developed to make servicing easier.

    Do you use ice scrapers? We’d love your feedback on this. Are they helpful or just a P.I.T.A?

    Rob gives Steve a hard time about the gift he’s giving himself for Christmas. We share a couple stories of Christmas & New Years rides and how much fun they were.

    Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

  • Myths and Mayhem
    Dec 10 2025

    Can you imagine, an argument about who’s more reliable Skidoo or Polaris? That’s how it began.

    Are barn finds a myth? Steve’s a believer. Rob’s not so sure, he thinks there are ulterior reasons. There might be some junk in barns, but a true barn find must have some value.

    Jimmy makes a couple of appearances. He found out the hard way that slush is a tough slog, and the rules we had to create for rides with him.

    What was he thinking, is James Bond a sled thief? We also have an update on the wolf guy.

    Polaris make some serious donations for trail support in both Canada and the USA.

    Should you buy used sled that advertises fresh top end? In Tech Tips we go deep into this hot topic.
