Well, I used to "snow check" the Poo 4-strokes, but when they ditched us loyal Polaris customers when they ditched the 4's, they lost me. Have ordered the 2017 Ski Doo GT for next winter. Current Doo GT accumulated 3600 miles during the winter of 15-16 (MI & WI), so planning ahead for another good year next winter; love that super quiet 900 ACE. -Z
