Okay, not to start another argument thread about track length, but I need some sound advice from those with more experience than I.
I’m looking into “new” sleds and I’m debating on a 155 or 163, both 15 wide (Polaris 07-08). I mainly boondock in the Snowies, a little hill-climbing but nothing wild by any means as I’m not that fond of heights and ghostriding
Mainly backcountry pokin’ around and in the tight n twisty.
I’m 6’4” and 260-270ish w/gear. I also carry a couple extra gallons of fuel, bunje, tunnel bag w/rope, gps, few tools, kitchen sink, etc. on each outing.
This year I feel a 163 would have been good, but what about in lesser snow years?
What do you think about track length and the tight turning / slow speed associated with boondocking. Sidehill ability is very important too.
Advice?
Thanks in advance.
