Im from gibbons alberta, I ride a polaris 850 xp with 27" swamp lites, I love this quad. I also have a 2003 800 rmk witch I have only rode around home and do not plan on taking it to the mountains because Im going to buy a new machine. I took my first trip to the mountains this weekend and rented a new 800 summit sp with t-motion track(what a sweet ride). The snow was not that good but I still had a blast. Im going back three more times this year and plan on renting a polaris and a arctic cat to see what i like best and then snow check this spring. I would love input from following members.
