Maybe a true snowmobiler hasn't covered this with you. And all of this quite surprised me especially the way you talk about dirt bikes? I mean what do you have a 250 or 500? How about an 800 fuel injected with two cylinders over a hundred 60 horsepower! That's the equivalent of your beak nose having about 940 horsepower! (weight to power ratio.) You know how the powerband kicks in in each gear on your dirt bike? This has a power band that starts as soon as you open the throttle and doesn't stop until you let go of the throttle. I'd probably bet that you couldn't hold the throttle Pinned back to my handlebar for more than a six count before you let off! LOL after a 1 count you'll be praying that the skis come back down to the ground LOL
It's all about preparation. First off I don't buy that light Mountain gear. My wife and I ordered Ours from Back East where things are made for the cold weather. 10 times out of 10 we're trying to peel our clothes off cuz we're too hot.
