Load of B.S. Does your snow not set up at all? We get about 15' up here every winter.... at most you'll have 3' of fresh powder with a good base.
Then again.. a 151 can go just about anywhere... maybe you just don't know how to ride it.

I think there is something wrong with your snow. Where im from we ride about the same elevation but the snow sets here. Where we have 20 feet of snow we definitely dont fall through to the ground, our snow sets and we will have powder but doesnt seem to be endless. Maybe you should send some snow out to be tested, seems as something could be wrong with it.

I ride a rmk with a 136, it deffinately wont climb straight up the hills with powder, and on packed some hills i cant go straight up it, but it will do fine in powder as long as im not trying to highmark.

no it hasnt set up at all
but then again at the begining of the year we get about 3 feet and then more right after that and it has no time to set up where we have 20 feet is up a 13,000 feet mountain you cant get there anyway and if you dont believe me why dont you come see for yourself
all im tryin to say is a 136" especially cant handle it all

Hey Josh, my buddy has the exact same sled as you, only with a 144" track.... sweet machines. You should maybe upgrade to the 144", it made a huge difference for him.

I wish.... Then maybe i could ride in 20 feet of powder!

I still don't believe its just 20 ft of power but whatever. Anyways the 136 should be fine as long as you don't really start trying to ride ungodly deep powder. It sounds like you have more of a crossover sled like a renegade,switchback, or crossfire.

I would have to disagree!! I tried a polaris 700 with a 136 track for true mountain riding and it was real hard to get going if the skies were even pointed up a little grade. Still ended up doing lots of digging. And won't even mention the lack of float it had, 00. Ski-doo and artic cat are taking over out west on the mountains.
