RollerSkis……….my 4 year secret

RollerSkis……….my 4 year secret

I’ve written……….. And hopefully you have read several articles regarding my experience with and enjoyment of Qualipieces RollerSkis.

Snowmobile RollerSkis……….my 4 year secret

I’ve written about their high quality, ease of installation, how they don’t get in the way and especially how they perform. They improve navigation on unavoidable pavement encounters and preserve the performance and life expectancy of my carbide runners.

What you may not know is that I’ve been writing about the SAME SET of Qualipieces RollerSkis.

2014 Polaris 800 ProR RUSH

That’s right 4 years and 12,000+ miles with the same set of RollerSkis. I have installed the original set on every Polaris long term trial sled I have ridden since Qualipieces became a SledMagazine.com/Motoneiges.ca product partner.

2015 Polaris 800HO 60th Anniversary AXYS ProS SWITCHBACK LE

My RollerSkis have been problem free with the only maintenance performed (other that keeping them clean and lubricated) being a 10 second replacement of 2 rubber O rings that cushion the self retracting feature…….. that is it!

2016 Polaris 600 INDY SP Terrain Domination LE

Initially a set of Qualipieces RollerSkis may seem like a significant expense for convenience. In reality, my testing has proven that quality materials and machining make a set of RollerSkis a durable investment in a long term benefit that becomes more affordable each year.

2017 Polaris 800HO RUSH XCR

At an original cost of $330US, I am currently at an effective cost of $82.50US for each of the 4 years that I have had the pleasure and function of RollerSkis. MY 4 year old RollerSkis are still going strong and still retain a strong resale value to another snowmobiler.

Once you use and enjoy a set of RollerSkis, I doubt that you will ever go back to the pavement grinding Carbide destruction of primitive times.

Greg Gilbert

Greg Gilbert

Greg's first snowmobile experience was in 1968 when his Grandfather purchased a new Ski-doo Nordic 371 package including dog sled as a surprise family gift. “Grampy” thought that the Gilbert's would enjoy the new sport of snowmobiling and he was right. Since that first ride as an 8-year-old, snowmobiling has provided Greg with one of the greatest pleasures of his life. The experiences, excitement, adrenaline, adventures, freedom, memories and friendships have relaxed and rejuvenated him throughout his life. From 1985 – 1996 Greg was an active member of the “Arrowhead Mountain Snowmobile Club” in his hometown of Milton Vermont, holding positions of President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, trail coordinator and membership chairman. Greg has also been involved in all aspects of trail construction and grooming as well as regional and statewide involvement. Greg has ridden over 130,000 miles throughout Vermont, Maine and all regions of Quebec. His riding experiences have been predominantly throughout Quebec since his first introduction in 1984 averaging 4000-5000 Quebec miles over the past 25+ years. Throughout 35 years of Quebec snowmobiling Greg has had positive interactions with many members of various groups and organizations. Greg is often in a unique position of being a comfortable, non-threatening bridge to better mutual understanding and communication of how we can work together to strengthen and protect our sport. Over the years Greg became well known throughout Quebec as “Greg du Vermont”, before joining the SledMagazine.com / Motoneiges.ca team in 2012 as a Columnist / Test Rider. Greg has written over 100 articles for SledMagazine.com / Motoneiges.ca, attended manufacturers Snow Shoot and Sneak Peek media events beginning in 2012 and is frequently seen at snowmobile events in both the US and Canada. Greg brings a unique personal perspective and style to his articles and has been a positive ambassador of snowmobiling for over 35 years. He is known throughout his hometown as the guy who thinks and talks about winter all summer long.
