Anything that is a 141 to a 144 would be perfect. My ideal sled would be a Crossfire 141 with a Power Claw track.

Long track Yamaha Bravo. With muff pot and 20" handlebar risers. Kinda like the one in Olafs profile picture.

I have the 06' Switchback 144" 600 HO and have been looking into what mods I can do for better deep snow riding. Here are some thoughts...

I assume the 2011 is a 136" so I'd look at putting a deeper jug track 1.75" or 2"

Put Polaris Gripper skis on if it doesn't already have them.

Remove the swaybar... I'm still researching this and wondering what affect this will have on-trail.

Those Bravos were good too! 20" risers? Sondabit! Muffpot, really? At least we agree on brand of bike. BTW coach ticket might be lookin' better and better with haul quotes from Cali. HAHA

if you want an off trail sled only 141 x 2", if you want a trail sled that does well off trail 136 x 1.75 just my opinion. Most good riders on a 136x1.75 can out climb average riders on 141x2", the rider has more to do with it than the ride.

Pantera 800 2 up with a paddle track!!

But seriously, anything with a 2" + paddle and narrower ski stance with an 800 will get the job done, and done well.

Track length is debatable but 140 is to 150 is about perfect IMO.
