Some video from this last weekend. Anyone who has done video (or pics) knows how the terrain slope is not seen nearly as well in video. It wasn't the Jackson Hill Climb, but this is a long hill. Just look at the trees compared to the hill slope angle. The snow doesn't look that deep either, but we still managed to stick it a couple times. Good powder snow, you can see it rolling down the hill in a few shots.
This sled gets up on the snow so much better than the IQ chassis did. Some might accuse me of poaching tracks, but that hill has a ton of rocks and stumps, so we tried to stick to tracks at the bottom were we new it was bad (I nearly totaled a D7 on that hill). All the tracks are ours. At 1:30, I got to the top of some trees and kinda got in some trouble. I had to side hill through a small ditch to get away from trees.
Sorry for the length, I didn't want to edit any more out. It was 40 minutes originally!
