I'm 130 lb female, above average rider. I'm looking for a lightweight, powerfull sled. We ride both packed and deep powder trails and also like to play on the hills. I'm looking for something that is fairly aggressive that is still comfortable to ride. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Great all round machine
I would purhase a Artic Cat M800 153 inch track. This will work well on tight trails and deep snow and has all the power you can use.

you could rent an m8 and we could go out and you could ride my dragon and see what one you like more...
Heard great things about the RMK 600/700 and even better things about the M8, it's a pretty sought after sled.

Skidoo Renegade Backcountry 600 ETec would be what I would choose.

I would get the best deal you can find-
Best bang for the buck- new or used-
Then improve it towards your liking.

Thanks for the offer to try your sled "wasatchrider" but I live in the interior of BC, Canada. Utah is a little ways away.
To everyone else thanks for weighing in. I appreciate the comments and have a few sleds to think about.

I am a 5'1" 119 lbs or so gal, and ride a '09 154" 800 XP-doo, came off my '06 REV 800 151"!! With my experience I had a 05' M7 sled and it was WAY to tippy for me sold it in 2 months of time. I like to have to muscle the sled a bit to get it to do what I want it to do. I would suggest a couple things first off, who is your strong dealer in your area? This is very important as we don't have a strong doo dealer in the area, but hubby is very mechanically inclined. BUT he still doesn't have a good quick dealer to run and get parts from, we order all of them. Also, try them before you buy, usually the dealers will either go out with you or let you take a loner, if they don't have a loner see what they will do, maybe let you ride one of there personal sleds. There is no perfect "girl" sled, it is about what the individual prefers and riding styles. Best of luck!!!
