Curious and wondering.

I have never had the oppurtunity to see one on the snow or ride with one. Id like to know how these things do. Ive seen alot of videos on youtube and they seem to go really well. So is there anything they can do better then just a regular sled. Also is there anything they can't do as well. I havent been able to see them do any big climbs. I did see one where they climbed a hill but then they seemed like they didn't want to come down. Anyways just curious to how they do.

thing they do the best, sidehilling, there is not a conventional sled that can sidehill with a snowhawk. It is effortless, it can be done at any speed, I think it may even be easier than riding on flat ground.

Thing they are not so good at, straight out chute climbs, the track is so much narrower than a conventional sled they tend to trench a little to much for strait up climbs, but if I can hit it at an angle or have enough face that I can goat trail it, I can climb anything a conventional sled can. and this is all my 600 experience, I'm hoping it will change with the new mod 800HO that it is in the process of getting.
