x2............clicker 1 at home......3-4 at elevation.................like riding to much to only ride the hills...can't make it every weekend. Me and my family/friends have been flatlanding mountain sleds for years. It always makes me laugh when guys stay home on the weekend cause they have a "mountain only" sled when theres 2+ ft of snow in the river valley.
Not giving any **** - usually I try to help others on this forum, and have for years. I have a friend who lives in northern SK, but used to ride BC with an 08 Summit X. Being that he is trail riding now, he asked me for advice whether to get a Renegade, or if he could adapt his Summit at little cost. The kicker is, the sled has been heavily modified for the steep & deep, runs a 154" x 2.5" track, narrow stance, etc, etc. Considering that our sport has enough bad press, I was thinking at bare minimum that the sled should have a quiet exhaust for the riding he does now in populated areas, but ultimately he should look at a x-over, considering he rides out west once a year in spring conditions. As for me, I personally don't ride locally, as the local municipality isn't very hospitable anymore, and if I were to ride locally, I would simply buy a trail sled
It seems pretty cut and dry what your friend should do. On a side note.....flatlanding doesn't mean the terrain is flat or that you even ride on a "trail". Where we go in the hills off the lake/river is not real accomadating to a trail sled.
