I also like Ski Doo. We have 2 adult size sleds. I did have a optional seat for one, that would allow 2 people to ride comfortably, but there are only hand holds on the rear sides of the seat. They have a model that can come with 2 seat with a back and handles on it. (GSX I think). A 600cc engine sled would be plenty.. They also make a 500 air cooled , but the 600 E Tec is very user friendly. Tried to link their web site but the server was too busy in the US. www.skidoo.com..
We also have 2 smaller sleds for the kids. Made by Yamaha, there 1991 models. There where 2 sizes produced, a Sno Scoot (80cc engine) and Sno Sport(125cc engine)..
The Scoots can be found on craigslist and ebay...Great for the kids riding around the house. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/epic_snow/1988_snoscoot_small.aspx
It's a great sport, but very weather dependent, both good and bad.

I had to trailer 2 hours to get to good trails at Chattauqua Lake. Got to be a real hassle.

Never thought I would say it, but my 120 MPH sled days may be over. For limited use I do not think you could go wrong with any of the remaining manufacturers. Look for the required features and maybe a slightly used or left over model.

It's me and a couple of friends. I think for the most part I am wearing the black Troy Lee helmet in most pics. They span over several years with newer pics at the top. It's hard to describe rolling out of the lot on a crisp Colorado morning with endless powder to be shredded all day long. I've done a lot of things in my life and been many places. I'm not sure anything compares :)
