Where do you ride most of the time? If it is on the flats on the prairies then i would go SP. if you go to mountains all the time then you will notice the difference with an expert.
No real mountain sledding close by so we head West to the Telkwa Range, East to the Torpy / Darby, North to the pine pass or south to Barkerville. With big snow years north of the Fort can be fun
