I can feel your pain and years ago wondered the same thing. The problem is once you allow a machine to be registered for frozen trails who determines when they should not be used? It's a loose loose situation and as was mentioned MOST landowners do not want ATV's on their property regardless of weather it is a frozen trail or not.
Check out the side by sides before you buy. Much more versatile and adaptable to be ridden in almost all conditions. Yes more costly but IMHO well worth the cost. If you do the Polaris definitely has the upper hand on the Can Am. Can Am is faster but the Polaris has a much better suspension system for soaking up the bumps and keeping the wheels on the ground.
Up in Maine where we ride the ratio is growing every year with less and less ATV's and more UTV's.
There is nothing better then putting the roof on throwing on the rain gear and taking a ride on a rainy day instead of sitting at the camp.
