Just so you know, at higher elevations the heli's have a tough time doing a straight lift, and they actually try to get the sled just off the ground so they can "fly away" to gain lift in the thin air. Got the info from a pilot last year, he was telling me that a full tank of fuel on the sled can sometimes make the difference. They all break but guess which brand gets the frequent flyer award, LOL
You know you really Doo know the answer:d:d:d

Doo's get the frequent flyer miles cause there's as many skidoos out on the hill as there is the other three brands combined!

Show me the miles per sled sold and I'll show you the real frequent flyer. Might be Doo, might be someone else (my money is on Polaris).
