You organize the crew and weekend and I'll go.
But not till after Christmas or snow 2' above cabin deck.
I have crunched enough sleds at Rocky Renshaw.

Oh and I'm not a guide. Guides help everybody that gets stuck.
I only help the first two..............then I hope you brought a friend.
But I have been heading out to Spirit Lake 2-4 times a year for the past 15 years.
Big area with usually the best snow and I've come back safe every time, even in blizzards.
Straying from thread topic.

Seen the Alpha and stood on one for the first time this weekend. To stand on it and rock side to side on flat ground the sled felt very planted. All the guys saying it will be horrible on the trip I’m not sure the front still seemed to keep it pretty solid. Be interesting to see how it it in deep snow. My guess from standing on it in good snow it will react much quicker then a current PC low snow conditions I think you will notice less. To me on flat ground the front still felt super heavy to pull over standing on it. I didn’t do the pull test cuz it’s not a real lift situation to me. What I noticed in comparison to t motion on flat ground tmotion on a Xm or 850 roles right over this didn’t. The flip side is the cat has a million times better front shocks and they hold the front up more so it’s hard to tell from sold ground. The one thing though i don’t think it will be half as bad on a trail as a lot of ppl expect

. I agree with what your saying, I have both the Alpha and and Xm. Anxious to see how both suspensions compare to one another on the snow.

I spent a good amount of time alone on an alpha proto. Trust me. We will be happy with it in all snow conditions.

Set the shocks up properly and it rolls over every bit as easy as an XM or G4.
The three positions on the front make a substantial difference.
I have now had all 3, Cat has the widest balance point.

Rocked on in the shop yard yesterday - very easy to get on edge ..... will be interesting to watch for sure.

Put about 70miles on this past weekend.....WOW!!! Handles great on the trail, no different than conventional. Response is instant, lock out suspension and you’ll really notice the difference when sidehilling. It’ll do what ever you want it too. A friend said it handles a lot lit his G4. Definitely a game changer. Only problem I had was owner stupidity, messed up on my knot and pull handle came off. Not good when all buddies are on Doo’s. While it was getting fixed they discussed who all had new motors in their G4’s. Lol

Just wait ill upload the video of the pull cord LOL!
Oh and for the record it was only one motor in the group of 4 G4s

Thats why i tie a second knot about 2" below the handle. It stops it from disapearing and can save alot of f'ing around.

I do this too, I had to learn the hard way though.

Heard you can’t boost an Alpha because of the glue together skid?

 

[catmando]

Never buy the first year, just sayin
