Sled did great! Not even completely off break-in yet but feels crisp and responsive.
Me on the other hand, going to need a little time getting used to the narrow front end.

Up sledding now and get my first ride on the new sled. Going from an RX1 to the Cat RR is a drastic change. Old RX1 was like a Cadillac and the RR is like a go kart. It's suspension is much firmer but soaks up big bumps like it's nothing. Loving it so far.

Sled looks sweet. Where were you guys at? Supposed to be going to Tomahawk this upcoming week, but I think we're gonna have to scramble and make other plans based on what I've seen on trail reports

It's so weird seeing all these shortracks lol.. If you don't have at least 156, you aren't going far here.

I'm sure it's a blast, but I have 0 interest in getting into hardcore off trail riding.
Worse than drugs. Several people from the midwest travel 12 to 16 hours to go find untracked pow in the Rockies. Been going for 10 years now, and it keeps getting more crowded every year. In fact, there's a subdivision next to a place we stay at in Wyoming thats called little Minnesota because all the cabins are owned by Minnesotans.

Off trail riding is for sure becoming more popular. You even see more and more long track sleds in the UP every year

Where you at in Canada? We had plans to be in Revelstoke over New Years but the weather was warm then too. Couldn't drive 25 hours for mediocre snow.
