emPOWDERed Polaris Maintenance Clinic – Wasilla
📅 Wednesday, November 12 | 6–8 PM
📍 Hatcher Pass Polaris, Wasilla
🛠️ Free Entry | Polaris Maintenance Focused
Join emPOWDERed and Sierra Winter for a Polaris-Specific Maintenance Clinic hosted by Hatcher Pass Polaris.
This free, hands-on evening is designed to help you prep your sled for the upcoming season and gain confidence in basic maintenance and machine care. Whether you’re new to sleds or just brushing up before winter, this session will help you ride safer and smarter — because confident riders start with reliable machines.
We’re thrilled to announce special guest instructors Shane Barber and Shana Lapham, Team #39 in this year’s Iron Dog Race, will be leading the clinic! They’ll guide participants through essential maintenance skills, including:
-
How to change your belt and inspect it for wear
-
Track tension overview and how it affects your ride
-
Spark plug review and replacement
-
Pre-season and pre-ride checklists
You’ll also have ample time for Q&A, giving you the chance to ask questions and learn directly from two of Alaska’s top endurance racers.
🎁 Door prizes, good vibes, and pre-season stoke — don’t miss it!
Stay tuned for full event details and registration info.
