You dont have to worry about the snow as far as cooling..... We dont even run snowflaps on our 163's...

Are you going T3 or X?

The "no snowflap thingy" is cool! but not cooling!

I used to cut the bottom 3" off and now I leave it on. I have found this spring with the snowflap "dished out" there isn't as much snow trapped and circulated under the cooler. Yesterday was a prime example and I was coming down and well into hot. Readjusted the flap for the full curl and the bars were only up to 4. The engineers have a reason for tail flaps..........just saying.

Really... I though they put them on there for looks, Thank you for pointing that out. If I had to ride the trails you rode everyday I would want a snowflap! Where I usually ride the longest trail is going to be like 9K. Im not getting into another snowflap arguement lol.. my 14 has 1400k on it and it hasn't had one on yet since 0. It really depends where you ride I guess becuase I have never had a problem.. neither have any of the other sleds in the group without.

ice scrathers = ride in ontario for 4353425324 miles with 174x3" track and no snowflap. ice storms work that good. no scratchers means you absolutely need a snowflap

Ya' it is flogging an old horse...........I guess at 12 km my trail is a little longer than yours. Fernie is a little longer yet but that is okay because it is smooth and only about a 10-15 minute session to the top. Not a lot of time for heating....:d

Initially 174 T3 yellow, switched to 163 T3... Still unsure which will be ideal for mostly tree riding, occasional climb, and hopefully every trip with deep soft snow.

I can tell you from riding both last weekend there is very little difference in manoverability between the T3 163 and 174. Both are very nimbly.

I stopped in today to check out the new stuff. I guess I didn't know they wouldn't be on the floor. Where's the venue this weekend to have a look?
