Has anyone ridden/driven that wacked-out SkiDoo Elite??? 4 cyl/4 stroke engine, dual track, side-by-side seating. That thing is so cool!! Like a Doodillac of the trails.....if it came with heated seats, a stereo/DVD player & maybe roll-up windows, that would be the only way I could get the wife out on the trails. They had better be really wide trails (LOL).

Actually they worked quite well. Twin track 1500CC 4-stroke. The thing that was wrong with them was the $18000 price tag!!!

I checked an Elite all over last month, short of riding it. It's an awesome machine, it'll do 70+ MPH, you can put a stereo in it, a cab on it, etc. I'd take one!

The Elites started about $18,000 and went up from there, had optional storage capacity to carry about a weekend worth of luggage and are high performace comfortable machines that compare favorably to a fully equiped Cadillac. But if you want comfort, get a Snow Trac.

This is a picture of mine on a mountain in Scotland. They are smaller than they look, about 6' wide, 12' long, 6' tall and seat 6 people.
