Is there a sled that can't carve into the hillside??? A track and 2 skis...the snow has no idea what brand the sled is Personally...the lighter the sled, the easier to hold a sidehill when you get into crossing ruts, hitting dips and maneuvering through the trees on a steep sidehill....and we ALL know what sled is the lightest

Minutes 2:45 to 3:30 and 5:15 to 5:20 is some solid riding...
As for sidehilling a DOO XP...I'm 44 years old...6'8" tall and weigh 300 lbs...and live in MN.- I have NO problem riding with/side hilling with any brand machine or rider (not counting the jumpers/big drop guys)...so for the guys who say the XP cant side hill??? I got nuth'n...BJ

mostly true...but sidehilling an XP is like balancing 3 chicken soft tacos on your forehead while running with no feet...sure it can be done, but why?

maybe its because skidoos weigh 30 or 40 pounds less is why they sidehill better.

LOL...
ZRT1000- I have a truck and trailer...been riding "out west" since 1982...
Honestly...and IMHO its the same problem guys had on the REV "cant side hill"...IF your front foot is in the stirrup THATS the problem...mid seat is were your feet should be...then give a tug and hit the gas and WALA your scooting across the mountain...plus tip the bars back...again if your up/over the bars and trying to side hill = problem...
Now I'm not gunna argue its easier than brand A or B...but it aint the sled...its how ya ride it and if it needs to be adjusted to fit you better?? so be it...
My biggest complaint about some riders is this...if you use too much oil but dont adjust the cable?? if it bottoms out and you dont adjust the springs or upgrade for your weight?? if it isnt clutched right and you dont reclutch or upgrade?? if it doesnt pull over and the front arm is stock or the skis are set wide or the sway bar is in place OR you dont try different riding positions??? BJ
As for sidehilling a groomer?? does a Renegade X 1200 with a sway bar count?? -LOL

Yep, only way to find out what works for you is experiment and make your own opinion based on how the changes affect your riding.
Got a buddy who is a buck twenty and couldn't pull his m7 over... It was hard for me (akward) his preload was cranked down on the front shocks.
He bought this sled new in 05
This was 2 years ago that I stumbled across his problem.
