Not necessarily. Depends how you ride the hills. Its more a question of maneuver ability, feeling nimble, balance and how it feels when jumped. To me anyway. I'll keep my nose out of it and let you guys pat yourselves on the back without my unwanted intervention.


Maybe for the trail ride up and down each day... But how does a sled that handles on a packed surface translate to how a sled will perform in 3' of snow while on a hill? Are you running a wide stance with a short track on the mountains to, just to make sure you get that good snowcross feeling?

Must of hit a nerve. You ride your heavy heavy more powerful yammy for the reasons you do and I’ll ride my lighter 154 2.5” two stroke for the reasons that I do. Have a good afternoon knowing I’m an idiot and you bought the perfect sled. Cheers

No nerve hit, just your reason for hating on how Yamaha does in the mountain based off its snowcross record seems odd. Ill ride anything, 4 stroke, 2 stroke, snowbike; don't really care as there is no perfect machine for the mountains.

WELL... we all know when there is 3+feet of fresh at Boulder where your going to find all the 2 smokes. First hill behind the cabin with their jockey's shovel at hand.
WE... also know when there's 3+feet of fresh where your going to find the 4 stroke crews, WELL past the first hill poking at the sugar bowl or bull pen making first track's.
But hey, look at it this way, in 3+feet of fresh if it wasn't for 4stroke crews them 2 smoke guys would have no tracks to poche over the top.

The sad part..its a rare occasion 3+feet

Can you explain the past 2 or 3 seasons beatings the 4 stroke crew has taken against the 2 stroke turbo's in the Revy golf match ups? That's in the steep and deep isn't it?

1- i don't play golf.
2- is there a helicopter on standby that they (they as in 2 stroke turbo crew) hire.
3- do they need refreshing after?

It seems to me in the one round of golf Neil says if he knew the guys were going to bring the drivers he would have left his irons at home.i realize it was the big boosted apex's he was speaking of. JS
