Actually I got stuck and getting a 500 lb. machine out of the soft stuff is hard work andhaving 3 or 4 guys around to help out is a big plus. If you are a newer rider, you " Bury Yourself Alot ".. All part of the game though and with 5 good months of snow, having a sled opens up lots of fun for the winter, helps the local economy as well. Loose new snow is a blast to play in , but this shot is of the " Down Side "
