i live in s.e. alaska and wondering how the power claw works vs. the hcr power claw. we have wetter snow most of the time being at sealevel but we do get lots of it like 3'-4' at a time. does the regular durometer work good in the wet snow too? ive got a line on a 50th but might go with the hcr because of the track. also snowest the search function sucks!

I thought all the models were coming with an 85 duro track in '12.
Just HCR same as 2011, previous years HCR was 90 duro all other M sleds are 80 duro per the 2012 brochure
Between 90 and 80 duro. I assume the stiffer track does well on the more packed snow? Is there really a difference that is noticeable? Splitting down the middle seems like a cost savings of one or the other either 80 was better or 90? They should have ran the paddles to the edges rather than 14.5" across. Probably to allow more breathing room for the narrow tunnel? Would like to see 2.375 x a full 15" wide paddles and 2.40" fingers for the '12's and a little wider tunnel to accommodate.

There is a difference between the 80 and 90 for sure. My 90 will hook up like crazy on harder snow and wetter snow that it can grab on to it does great. In real light fluffy powder the 80 is noticeably better. People from Colorado hate that 90 because they always have the light stuff where as here in Idaho a lot of the time we have a wet heavier snow so the 90 is okay. I always wanted an 85 because I felt like it would split the difference and be perfect. For your application down lower with wetter snow I think the 85 would be the way to go but the difference is less then you think so it depends how bad you want the other features of the HCR. For me it wouldn't be the deciding factor either way.
