CFR makes the rack systems 95% of backcountry snomo-skiers and boarders use to mount their boards on their sleds. Dave has been building these racks for years now, and they are pretty much bullet-proof. Mounting your board on your sled takes a lot of weight off your back, and allows you to thread through tight trees that your board would hang up on; if you were carrying it horizontal on your back. The racks are crucial for serious sled access riding.



Cheetah Dave is a big mtn. ripper that slipped over the border and set up shop in Pemberton.. and never looked back. 



Always gett'ner done... and always late for dinner.
