OK...step 1 get scratchers...will do that.So what about driving the sled on hard ice? Doesn't happen often enough to worry about unless you do the Wyoming side of the Gorge. Matt uses his ATV up there instead of a snowmobile.Are the track and skis able to work, or are there upgrades that are a must? None that I'm aware of.Seems like on hard ice the skis would just slip around and not really provide steering. Very true. But not a problem 98% of the time.I've also seen folks that put studs on their tracks, is that overkill for typical UT conditions? Definitely over kill.Don't want to spend alot of $$, but also want to make sure the investment made in the sled results in a functional machine I can rely on. Get scratchers and you'll be good to go.
So, finally bit the bullet and picked up a snowmobile this week. I've really liked the ski wheeler, but with the Evo2 I got and the ever-growing amount of other gear, I decided I needed something with a bit more power...grunt...grunt. ..Been watching ads for a while and managed to pick this one up for less than $600. Runs great, is in very clean shape, and has a nearly new track. So, looking forward to tricking this out over the summer in prep for next year. Plan is to build a rack for some gear and to hold the auger. Thanks to muskyon for the guidance/tips.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
