The answer is yes. Gary will tell you how he likes his. As I waited 1 year too many to get one, as then they dropped the Blizzard model.
There's a lot to like. My previous machine was a 1200 TNT and the Blizzard is much more nimble. A much better ride and plenty of torque to get you where you want to go. The Ice Ripper track has a lot of grab but probably the best feature are the adjustable Pilot TS carbides. For all the effort that goes into limiter straps, triple points, etc. all you have to do is turn a dial on each side to get the best handling for the conditions. I'm surprised that Ski Doo hasn't added them across all models. So, it's a good fit for me and I intend to keep her for awhile.

Many guys are running Mystik JT- 4 2-cycle Full Synthetic, or Amsoil Interceptor. Mystik JT 4 2-Cycle Full Synthetic is around $28 @ Farm&Fleet. When on sale, with the rebate, it's around $20. Very good oil, top of the line specs, cold flow, and viscosity levels.

I just bought my 900 Ace this year, just curious but how much oil should I expect to use during a 1,000 miles season? After talkng to some of my buds that have the same set up I am going to run Mobil One OW-40 in it. Thanks for any insight.
Huh ....None just change at 3500 miles.

I believe they were 2s 1000 SDIs. But I don’t remember track length. They discontinued when 800 etec became popular.

I just sold my 2017 Blizzard with 1200 4 stroke. Great sled as others here have said. Blizzard also came with 900 Ace 4 stroke - but not with Turbo.
Farm & Fleet generally has a Mobil 1 sale, in various viscosity grades, at some time of the year, and possibly coupled with a rebate. This makes for a very good $$$ deal!

Someone on facebook found a new ad for the Scandinavian market with the 2023 Ski Doo platform. It's hilariously ugly. The memes have already started comparing the front end design to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the husband character from 90's sitcom "Dinosaurs", and Barney the Dinosaur. Really, it is hideous.
There's something about certain brands that are legitimately the ugliest product in a given segment, but somehow folks flock to and line up to buy them. In autos you have darn near every modern Toyota/Lexus product. In shoes you have uggs and crocs. Then in sledding it is Ski Doos.

They are incredibly ugly. It is almost like they went out of their way to see how visually repulsive they could make them. I don't think I would even stand next to one on a moonless night. Absolutely gross.
