My history with SnowGoer magazine spans a decent chunk of my life: 12 years. A lot has changed in the snowmobile industry and in the magazine business since 1997. Obviously, machines are different. Long travel suspensions were going strong when I started in this business, but subsequent evolution has been suspension coupling, rider-forward chassis configurations and viable, great-performing four stroke engines.

Pebble Creek Hillclimb is a Powder Challenge

by BAM Films · Leave a Comment

The Pebble Creek Hillclimb held at the Ski Resort just outside Pocatello, Idaho was a powder filled challenge. So much so, the owners of the ski resort extended the skiing during the hillclimb. So, two great winter sports shared the mountain and everyone had a great time. The downhill skiers seemed to enjoy watching the powerful sleds take on the hill and I noticed many of the family member of the racers enjoying a day on skis. The wonderful sunshine was another plus.

David Sharp Jr.

The racing action was hot and Team Arctic turned it up all weekend. Out of the 18 class winners, 13 were from Team Arctic. All three of the Pro Kings of Pebble Creek rode for Arctic Cat.
