Snowmobile Snowboard Rack System



The pictures are from a posting I did Dec. 2007. I have been using this system for 4 years. It shows the rack system I mounted on my sleds. The racks come in handy for snowboards, avy shovel (carry one shovel on the sled, BUT you should always carry a shovel in your pack at all times), ski poles (a pole can come in handy in certain snowboard situations).

At the time I had a 2005 800 RMK 159 and a 2008 700 RMK 155. I just traded off the RMK 800 for a new 08 Polaris Dragon 700 155. It is the same set-up as the 700 RMK. That's the project this week is to get the new sled set up. I'm heading out to Wyoming and Colorado this week-end, Dec 6-7 for about 5 days. I am going to use this trip to break in the Dragon and explore different areas.

As I post this it is snowing in the mountains, They got 2 - 3 feet last week-end so the weather is looking good!!

Using the 4-wheeler gun racks to carry our snowboards. Clamp them on bumper and drill 2 holes into bumper and tap a screw through mount and bumper. It keeps rack from turning on the bumper. I've used this system for 2 years. It's light and simple.

On the 08 700 RMK I'm using the Polaris rack system, gas can holder and avy shovel pack also.

The gear bag on the back of the 05 800 is a motorcycle tank bag. It works well cause it has a clear map holder on top. I can carry a 1 person tent (2 lb. 12 oz.) in it , for emergencies.
