Check out this video review of the Camoplast 4S:

Look for the link under "fxr Video Portal" titled "CAMOPLAST 4S TRACK KIT"
No snow - but they look at the tracks on about all other terrain.
I've been toying with the idea of a snow machine, but I think these too are the answer for me. Now to find the money....

That a good video.
Sounds like there calling for snow tonight/tomorrow. 2-4 inchs in Auburn. Need some more and we can have alot of fun. Time to break the tow rope out and the sled.

Yeah - and the NWS is even saying there's a very good chance of snow on the valley floor. That will make traffic interesting...

Good price...Scott, did you see any major difference between my track and yours?
And...Just for information...the ONLY difference between the snow only and 4 season tracks...is the hardness of the rubber tracks.

And don't have to worry cause there four season tracks.
That's exactly why I got them. Also didn't feel like storing and maintaining...another vehicle.

Visually they look differnent. The lugs look a little bigger. But its been a while since when I rode your tracks last year. With Lots of feet of snow comming in this week hopefully we can for a day ride and test them out again soon.

Tracks would have been awesome today.
2' of fresh ultra-light powder.
I was bombing on the tires with snow up to my front basket... pics soon.

Never had time to go run around in it, but for one quick run to the freeway and back.
In between trips, I had to change out the skids and wear bar. Tusk has redesigned the skids, it appears they will last a lot longer.

How in the hell did your tarp carport last looks like you got more snow than me... Mine collapsed as I was getting dressed to go push the snow off
Now I need to find a new place to put the quad at night in winter... grr..
Pics - Coming soon, gotta catch-up with some business stuff.
Got my plow to work today, and spent hours working on the driveway.

I guess I was just faster at getting out to the tarp.
I was out first thing, and knocked all the snow off. The quad normally lives in the garage anyway.
I've had that canopy for 7 years (replacing the tarp every other year) and haven't had a collapse yet. The legs were pretty bowed the other morning tho...!

Ok so you have tracks. And snow now. When do you have time for a ride so we can get some pics?
