nice
Love my 155. I don't think I'd go any longer than that......it's already long enough when I'm trying to jump drifts.
162, because I'm 260lbs and need all the track to float me, and I have no problem throwing it around.
159. its the only mountain sled i have owned!
151". Rarely hit the blue-bird deep powder days when a longer track is needed. Besides, you really have to air it big to get the long track to look like you got any air. Shortys look mile high when they really are only high enough to clear a matchbox...

had a 06 & 07 159 and really liked them, got a 08-x 154 i'll let you know when the snow gets deep
151" Not too long and not too short. It climbs good and still short enough to go boondocking easily.
151 or 144, or should I say 146 or 154?

I think the 151-155" lengths are the best compromise. My 144" was too short for those deep powder CO days. I was not able to hang with some of the boys with longer tracks. Never been left behind on a 153".
Love my 162, rode a m1000 and a m800 both with 153s and it didnt feel like they had enough track to put the power to the ground.
I was terrified when I bought my 162 coming off of a 136. But I was plesantly suprised at how easily it handled. It was easier to ride then my old 136.
you get the skid setup right and a 162 turns like a 144. I wouldnt go shorter than 159 unless I wen to a 16 wide.

162x 16 challenger, 270 pounds, I need all of it. Boost would make things better.

We've had 151s the last couple years (now have a 154) and i would say i like the 151s because they fit my riding style they are easy to boondock with, you can still jump with them and you don't sink in botomless powder. They are also decent for hillclimbling.
