What did you have for a Ski-Doo? I play mostly with sleds of the '70s...
The kid down the street was having a blast running around in the deep snow so I
figured I had to show him that old sleds could keep up. I finally realized the
reason my sled wouldn't run was that the pickup tube in the tank was leaking at
its fitting.
I'd been told old Arctic Cat Panthers are good in deep snow and as Wilton says
you just keep the power on and steer with balance. I made it most of the way
around the yard only to get stuck in my typical spot, the neighbor has a wall
and in this soft snow its tough to turn sharp. I got it turned around and
headed back in my track because I couldn't get started again in the direction I
was headed. Second pass was better but I got stuck in a pile of snow at which
point I'd had enough for the day.

Curt, I enjoyed riding my Ski-Doo up on top of 2 to 3-feet deep dry, powder
snow in Mi UP; worked great as long as I could keep the speed up enough to
stay fairly well up on/near top of it; 'could bank and turn much like
flying; 'tough, though, to get started, again, if I got stuck down in it.
