I got around ok. But I was probably only 160 lbs then the switchback guys would just plow through the snow and get stuck everywhere. I had to break trail lmao My buddy went out and bought a 97 XLT SP after I had to break trail years ago when we were up in Madawaska. We headed up before christmas and there was easily 3-4 feet of snow. My bud was on a 95 Indy 500 then and the snow was so deep it was falling over/around the windshield getting all over the dash and on his lap. He said you try leading, which I did. Having the XTRA 12 suspension and the 1.25 lug track I was able to ride on top of the snow. Best sledding I ever did in my life. You didn't even have to steer, you just leaned where you wanted to go. It snowed so hard the next day we had to get off the trail and hunker down in a gas station until it passed. Have never seen snow like that since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen as much snow since. Like you said you couldn’t steer you had to lean and turn left to go right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said you couldn’t steer you had to lean and turn left to go right It was unbelievable. We went into Whitney one morning for breakfast and we both seen this old lady, who was likely in her 80's, coming out of the restaurant and she overheard my bud and I talking about all the snow. Without missing a beat she said, it has snowed now for 6 fucking days straight! My bud and I laughed so hard we almost fell down. She looked at us wondering what was so funny not realizing it wasn't everyday you heard old people using the F bomb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original rip was a game changer when it came out. Most sleds had tracks less than an inch back then. On hard pack it's good, in loose snow not so much.

I put 2.52 drivers on my xp and a new 1.25” doo paddle. The paddle hooked so much better it was unreal. Could cat walk the sled right on the back wheels at will 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That new 1.5" Storm with 90 or 135 down the middle sounds tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
