On the contrary, its supposed to be 60km gusting to 70k... which is perfect for in the bush where we ride... hilltops bare, bowls, valleys, and meadows FULL... 12" snow equals 24" in the low spots.... with lots of soft drifts to bust.... *crossing fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy and I waited about 8 hours for Ginger and the crew to ride the 75-80 miles back to the hotel to get the truck and trailer. Jeff thought he knew a shortcut and ended up getting them lost I ended up renting a T660 for the rest of that trip.

I've seen 3k mile T cats have the primary explode, I even towed one in 1 foot of water on top of the ice for 15 miles with my 20,000 mile skidoo Summit.
