Stay away from the xp, get the poo if money isn't a factor, get a 10'-11' m8 if you want to save a little coin.

one thing that concerns me is the polaris' blunt nose must be like a brick hitting the snow and that it wont glide well...track trenching wouldnt be a problem as i was going to get a timbersled anyways...how do the m series cats push through pow? is it like a brick on the snow or do they float well? thats my main concern is how they push through snow...

So you know that your getting a Timbersled, but you dont know what your going to put it on. Do you even own a mountain sled at all??? You might as well throw the Nytro MTX into the mix at this point.

How much you got to spend frankie? I rode my pro rmk down the nenana to tanana a few times last winter, broke trail whole way. Only complant is gas milage, but holding it WOT for 120 miles nothing is going to get decent milage.

You guys have junk gas, that will be your biggest problem. I think they only sell 87 oct all along the yukon, minus galena and holy cross.

You got some killer mountain riding if you jam up the tozitna, and you will never see another group of riders, unless me and some friends jam there haha.

They don't plow snow, front end is way light. I never rode by white alice, that the site area? Been back there on the rzr, some marked trail whent back that way looked pretty killer, like a giant turrny with way more areas to go.

Gas might be 89, I am not sure, I had trouble with water in my gas on the way back one trip. It was from that log cabin place and not the store.
