What's the point of this snowflap?

I ended up building a tunnel extension cause the snow flap was a giant PITA for lifting. If you look up "after thought" online a pic of that POS comes up.

That's a tough call M5 , I guess the bike kits will have to change to what options you want for where you most frequently ride . The tunnel length and snow flap has a love hate relation ship . It definitely has a performance factor in deep conditions . The only way anyone will find out is by actually taking off the tunnel extension and putting some saddle time on it in the deep stuff .
How would the bike perform with a tunnel added to it when running a tire rallying corners ? Guess some people prefer to waller in the mud
Before anyone says anything about getting sucked into the track my best suggestion is don't do it you might get hurt .

I'm sorry and I don't want to appear rude but you completely lost me on that one.

Drunk post?
Fishing attempt for sure but not very pointed.
Maybe point (less).
LOL , stone sober maybe the word babbling comes into play .
I was commenting about how a snowmobile tunnel handicaps a one ski in deep snow . In low snow conditions a snowmobile tunnel does not affect a one ski and also that is where a heat exchanger could be used along with a snow flap .
Some of the bike kits in their earlier stages came out with really stubby tunnels and of course that changes because people hit the panic button .
In a nut shell I was saying that in time the one skis will have to come out with more than track lengths and shock packages .
Not the best picture but this guy makes a snow flap that is adjustable for the conditions . Notice how short the tunnel is , machine was designed for the steep and deep .

Gotcha. I extended my tunnel for 2 reasons, first is lifting the bike is much easier with more leverage and a better body position not all bent over and the second was I got sick of being roosted in the head after I went LT.
