How would it do if you went off the track into the deep stuff? I assume worse, but...
On the lake a couple of weeks ago, it was actually kind of fun. There was about a foot of powder.
KNOWING that there isn't anything beneath the snow that is going to buck you off is HUGE.
I was actually railing on it pretty hard.
I had it pinned in 3rd gear, and probably doing between 40-45mph. Huge sweeping, kicked out donuts.. Tracks were spinning obviously. On hardpack, 3rd gear wide open would be 55mph easy..maybe more. And that is suicide.
Where we were yesterday is "unknown" territory with Beaver Dams, clumps sticking out of the ice, etc.. And there wasn't a lot of open snow to do anything anyways.. The track was pretty much it.
Mark almost crashed a few weeks ago when he took it through an "unknown" field that had snow.
oh, and speaking of "spinning tracks", when you really get them going, the snow is thrown out THE FRONT of the machine, so it makes its own cloud to try to ride through... You can't see anything!
