Well just to add fuel to the fire :smiliestirthepot:, here's a video I shot in McBride a couple of weeks ago. A buddy I was riding with has a 2011 Doo 800 p-tek 163 (not e-tec) and I let him try out my Pro 163. He wasn't to happy with his Summit. He had Glenn at Spindrift check out his clutching. Next day same result. I think he's looking at trading in for a Pro.:d

was out in mc bride a few weeks ago one buddy had the 155 pro rmk and the other had the 154 e-tec and i drove them both all day and ended up snow checkin the e-tec.
i was comfortable on the pro cause it felt pretty much the same as my sled and wasnt to comfortable on the e-tec and still out climbed the pro over and over again.

A Doo will always out climb a poo. The most important factor is the 800 Doo engine will by far out last the poo by far with regular maint.:beer::d

You don't really know that YET but in time you will learn. Take 2 riders same weight and same track lengths the Doo will out climb the Poo but more importantly the Doo will out last the poo. I guess I can't blame the poo riders it's been a long time since they have had somethin to brag about. You all should be happy to even be sort of in the same catagory as the Doo. If the Doo's are what everyone is comparing to that would mean it's the mark to beat.:d:beer:

We were well aware of the risks. We viewed the avalanche bulletin before we rode (moderate). We paid attention to how the snow reacted on similar slopes. I was parked in the center of the lake and the rest of the group was on the other side. I think we managed the risk appropriately, and with more information you can get from a video.

Point he's trying to make is it isn't safe to park in the runout any time.:d:beer:
