Sledding Weekend B.C. - Pics
Day 1 - Eagle Pass, 14" or powder and good base w/ 1 hr of sunlight
Day 2 - Crowfoot, 5" of powder w/ 3 hrs of sunlight
Day 3 - Owls Head, 12" of powder w/ clouds all day
Rev Impressions:
-I like it a lot
-Feels light
-Even w/ wide ski stance and narrow skis, boondocking and sidehilling are easier then my 01 151
-Suspension is great
-gets up and out of powder as good as my 151
-great stand up riders position
-Predictable in the air.
-Footwells get plugged w/ snow as badly as ZX version
-Windshield is flimsy
-New ridding position takes a few hours to become comfortable with.
I was boincing along in a field w/ the Rev ~40-50km/h and I came onto a hole. There wasn't enough time to stop so I gassed it hoping to get the ski's onto the other side. I nailed the other side and stopped very fast, going through the windshield and nailing my upper leg in the handle bar as well as hurting my wrist. We got it out ok, but I just wish the ws had been made to break off instead of break.
We found a nice powdery field and I was doing some left-right carves. Some ppl might know that it's possible to get a sled to rise out of one carve and into another and a bouncy left-right rhythm gets going. Anyway, the Rev was much better at this then my ZX 151 and I felt much more under control.
