"Build", "ride a couple times", "get a good freeze" This sounds like a multi-day deal. *sigh* I'm in the wrong part of the country for that. It's been years since it snowed on top of snow on the ground. We just got a fluffy 6 inches - which is odd. Usually its sleet/rain/freezing-rain/snow combination. More than 4 inches is considered a big snow! > So on the machine front for low snow conditions I'd want a fan > cooled bogie wheel sled.
