Been running a set of studded for winter this will be the second year on them have had no issues and they don't wear like the duratracs on a 1 ton . I run Toyo Mt's in the summer
What are the stock gears on the G4? I have been running the C3 Belt drive on previous sleds so I've always geared it down when ordering them, they aren't available yet though.

The norona ruler should be taken with a grain of salt.
Found an article saying that the road may be De-activated. I assume this means they will not be logging up there this year. Has anyone been up there this year?

Depends on where you were I guess. January was another bad layer on the Coast. There was a few natural slides right to dirt around the the South Chilcotins
Late snow will hopefully mean that bad persistent layer that was around all last winter wont be as bad due to the freeze/thaw cycles we see early in the season.
I have been riding the C&A pro MTX for two seasons now. I find due to their large width I can carry speed rather than have my front end sink. I find they are hard on the rubber Ski stoppers though. I am going to try out the Boondocker extreme skis from C&A this year.
