	Well, the trails have to be the trails you normally ride, so what is the perfect condition for that trail? Mine is after we get 24" of snow, and then it gets groomed, and then we get 2" of powder on top of the groomed trail. Proud Supporter of Snowmobilers.com Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	Being in upstate ny it is a nice 24" packed base with some pow ontop of it, but enough pow off the sides that I can bang around and not be grinding track to mud. Basically anything that covers the ground makes me happy lol. The non picky rider.

Went down the first hill, couldn't side hill, couldn't get back up. It wasn't pretty for him. I really wanted to keep going but wouldn't go at it alone. This year, I shall. He finally has decent skis so there will be a chance he'll be able to hang. This is him screwed, couldn't hold a sidehill and the sled was really trying to go for a ride into the woods.

	Belive it or not that is the trail... Next weekend I drove my truck there. The best trail is the one you make and your friends cant follow. Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers. Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier. Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some. Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country. Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor.
