Like I said...."a properly set up mountain sled will go anywhere a sno-bike will go".
Carnage is gunna happen regardless what you're ridin....even in the dirt....just the nature of the sport.

I thought the same too but, but Once you've been on one for awhile you will start to read terrain different and take way different lines. You can ride tighter trees much faster on a bike. It's not even close. I have 15yrs on a sled in the mtns and 5 on a bike

Much smoother and quicker on the trail up and down too. While the sleds are riding 3ft whoops you can rip in 5th gear the 6in wide strip of fresh snow on the side of the trail.

They are a pile of money and there are many tricks to making a k5 work in deep snow. Totally worth it though.

Me personally...will never justify spendin $6K for an "attachment" that weighs 100+lbs ,to a bike that was meant for the dirt....there was just no "excitement" in it. Fun, yeah...momentarily...but, the lack of power, I might as well have been ridin a Harley....just lame on straightaways or anywhere you wanted to go fast.
Around here, there's hardly any snow bikes...and I've watched guys on sleds do things that the guys on the snow bikes won't even think of trying...like dropping off 40' 50' cliffs into the powder below. I have yet to see any great advantages over a sled around here...unless we're talkin super tight woods where a sled would barley fit anyways.

This was on a '16 KTM 450 that I tried on.
We're all different, and we all enjoy different things, and we all consider different things "exciting"....I've been sledin since my mother was pregnant with me!....dirt bikes for 41 years....snow bike...well...maybe an hour lol...all set.
