The main experience I have with sugar snow is riding at Eureka in February. There was no base and you’d sink down into it. I don’t think the Ruffian would have good flotation in it and would be knifing through. A much bigger problem than flotation would be the air cleaner getting choked off of snow and the carb freezing up. The bike needs a proper air box and fresh air routing system. They offer a carb heater kit that uses hot engine oil to warm the carb. I’ve not installed the kit yet. In these spring conditions I’ve not needed it.
i'm really curious how it does in sugar snow

Why don’t I ever hear you shift? You just running in 2nd or 3rd the whole time? and what bike is it? Ktm?
It’s awesome to see hogsback and robe lake though, missing snow now that I live in Australia
@@mattstark78 it’s a smaller style snowbike made by Ruffian. It uses a CVT and a Daytona Anima 190 engine.
@@mattstark78 Nice, glad to hear you enjoyed it. Australia would be way better for dirt bike riding though!
