Day 1 on St. Helens was 18" of fresh powder on an 8-foot base. Was instantly hooked on the Pro. Most comfortable and "right feeling" sled I've ever jumped on. Was throwing it around like a toy, trying jumps and riding in a way I normally wouldn't have the confidence to try. Power felt better than my m1000 everywhere but very top end. Made decision I would sell my M1000 and get a 2013 Pro.
Day 2 on St. Helens was 36" of fresh powder, and we did more hill climbing at higher elevation. Oh how things changed. With the extra snow and elevation, what had felt like a very fast sled suddenly felt like a dog. Couldn't climb stuff that would have been easy on my M1000. Got stuck more in 1 day than I did all last year! Still had a blast on the Pro, but it definitely has its limitations. Now I'm thinking I'll wait another year, get a used 2013 Pro w/ the 163" track, and throw a turbo on it.
