This recent storm has been super wet...

25" inches down to pretty much nothing other than under tree cover/bushes...

Heard it was raining high-up too, as soon as the drizzle stops I want to see if I can find any snow, I doubt it :(

Those with tracks... are they like tires trying to climb a muddy steep hill ?? You just slip, and slide all over unless you have huge speed and momentum.

Some videos on YouTube make them look almost worthless :? other than not sliding as much as tires in the snow, as far as extending the ability in the snow flotation does not appear as much as I would have thought.

Personally I will stick with my 163" sled. But I wouldn't mind trying out a set of tracks on the RZR. They do look fun and Iam sure help out alot.

Just watch my video...there's NO WAY you could get through this on tires. When I got off the quad in the deep stuff, it was thigh high when stepped into it....you'd need snow shoes to walk through this.
