This sled rocks...I hate they show them riding in awesome snow conditions . I have a 2016 t3 thought it was hard to sidehill till I rode it in two feet of pow. Handled like a dream, snow conditions will make you an all star or Not. I want to see this in cascade concrete and sidehilling

yakima, wa.
Looks like it has a lot of traction and wheelies are fun for me.
@3:21 did he climb a tree and get tossed? Kinda looks like an oops moment that didn't get fully edited.

Looks like lots of steering inputs to get it to sidehill, especially in such nice conditions. The steering has always been a hang up for me when I climb on a Doo.

Track hooks up good. At 1:41 he looks to be stuck for sure, then the sound of that wonderful motor and powers out of it. Every time I see new footage I look to see how well it digs and powers up hills without momentum... this was more proof of that to me.

Looks like she does pretty good in the meadows :) Sometimes it's nice to take a break from the steep and deep and just play down low in the flatter terrain :)

The day we had it out was perfect conditions for a test ride. The snow was hard from the warm days and starting to soften as the sun hit it. The snow was inconsistent and windblown. I was very impressed with how it handled these conditions. No ski diving or washy sidehill business. I could come downhill, drop a ski into the wet snow and turn it back uphill with ease. Point it back uphill, pin it and let the skis float as I weaved through the trees. Can't wait til me 165 Creamsicle shows up next fall.
