Something else to consider when making a purchase; fan cooled versus liquid cooled. With the great lack of snow around the Lakes Region these past several winters, liquid cooled sleds do not fare well. They depend on the snow and something more than a light snow. The fan cooled sleds are often the ones you see at the grass drags. Fan cooled sleds can also save your butt when your miles in the woods and your liquid cooled sled won't stop overheating and you need a tow - a fan cooled is a good work horse. Liquid cooled sleds are usually more performance oriented and often are faster. When you're riding across the frozen lake, the fan cooled sleds can go the entire way without a worry about bare ice - the liquid cooled may be faster, but you bet your bottom dollar they are looking for some snow on that frozen lake. Although, all sleds need to have contact with snow when riding across a frozen lake, otherwise your hifax will heat up and start to melt - and it's a 'challenge' to break that free. Again, make sure you're always sledding with someone and have ALL the proper gear and emergency items just for these kinds of unexpected issues you can encounter. Tool kit, extra oil, antifreeze.......
