It was hard to tell how deep the snow was, guessing 12-17 inches. Location was Wilson and Reecer Creek in the East Cascade Mountains in Washington State.

Man those things are badass!! My son has one and he beats the living snot out of it and it happily takes it. Just about everytime we go riding he brings it along. It's seen action in water, dirt, mud, rocks, snow, and ice. Fun little RC for sure

Great looking pics! I can’t wait to get mine out and play in the white stuff. Unfortunately here in N.E.Michigan we have yet to be blessed with any accumulation. I’m installing a set of 31’s on my talon this weekend. Did you manage to keep from getting stuck? Where did you find that much snow already? I have to believe rippin it up in snow has to be more fun and less clean up than mud!-Donzi

Thanks. we didn't get stuck and I was amazed we didn't. We went up today and the snow was 18-20 inches deep and we still didn't get stuck. We were going up a road in someone's tracks and I was afraid if it wasn't for the tracks we'd get stuck but we were able to mow right through the deep stuff as long as it wasn't too uphill.

I live in the center of Washington State, we usually start riding sleds in mid December. The pictures were taken at around 5500 feet altitude. It's the Cascade mountains and yes the machines stay pretty clean but it's making a pretty big mess in the shop.

Snows fun, they do pretty good don’t they? Light powder is so much fun. We been in 2-3 feet last couple weekends up in N. Idaho. Couple times deep enough it was floating over the hood, had to back up and hit again. Snow was heavier today and drivetrain was bouncing pretty violently for miles. Didn’t get stuck but had to finally turn around before had planned

a few years back right after Christmas I met with a group of California people in Meidview AZ just outside west gate Grand Canyon. The picture only shows a couple inches of snow, but we drove through about a foot getting up to where we are. It was maybe 25 degrees ABOVE zero and they thought they were going to Freeze to death. The California people had never drove a UTV in snow and were scared to death that they would get stuck. Only thing that kept them out of ditch and on the path was earlier before ground froze, a pickup had driven through and crated ruts right down center of road (anyone who sleds in areas where hunters go, totally understands what I am saying LOL). They felt they had to go full bore when could have just cruised along.
