Step 1: Put on jacket

Step 2: Ride




No thanks on the conversion, Ill keep to my snomobile!


This thing would be INCREDIBLY hard to ride. You would have NO stability in the powder, cornering would be near impossible and getting any flotation out of that track is a joke. Hard pack would be kind of fun to play with, but beyond a light skiff that covers the roads I think that thing would kill you trying to get to/from your house.

They do state plainly on their site its not a snowmobile replacement and that places you'd take a long track sled this will more than likely get stuck. But if you can't afford to have seasonal toys and just want to hit some trails its a step in the right direction. While its only about half as wide as a sled track, why would it be that much harder to handle compared to say those single ski sleds I've seen in the past? Is it the tall height?

I dont know how much harder it would be to handle compared to a SnowHawk. They are a handful themselves, but they have also have a wider track, and a ski that has some tilt to it for increased stability.

It'd be fun to play with, but I have my reservations

I hate snow almost as much as I hate mud, not a big fan of the cold or dirty[&:]. But you guys already knew that right?

I bought my bike in Jan of this year and got in a lot of miles during those colder pre-spring months. Some of the riding is actually better since a lot of the areas here get overgrown with briars and high weeds during the spring and summer. I went places then that I can't go now. I'd love it if we got some snow which we do occasionally get here in NC. A few years back we got dumped on about 2 ft ... the whole area was shut down for a week while both of the area's snow plows were working overtime
