Not to mention the weight of the paint! They watch every ounce today.

a polished raw aluminum tunnel has way way way less sticking snow than a black painted tunnel. that is if you actually polish it!

Have had both polished and painted on the last two sleds, and have to be honest in that I don't know how anyone could tell the difference. They both collect depending on circumstances. Just depends on conditions it seems.
