oh yeah. it feels so good in powder. floats really well. there is plenty of power and i didn't even open it completely. maybe hit 9k rpm a couple of times
when you get on it at any rpm range the thing really takes off, i didn't try and get the skis off the ground but i think it could easy. it handles so well, i was able to go pretty much anywhere i wanted. didn't get stuck at all, my buddy with his rx-1 got stuck twice. the snow we had today was very very light blower powder and i was really surprised that it didn't trench once. once the trail was compacted the ride changed and it felt like it was on rails. i suck at mountain riding and i had a blast, busting off the trail through huge snow drifts. one thing i noticed is after about 20 miles or so (with zero on the odometer) the tone of the exhaust changed dramaticly and it also felt like it had twice the power. maybe this happens after you set the rings?
we were riding at 10-12k feet today. easy 30" on the trail and lots of deep deep drifts

sleddin was awesome. snowboarding sucked
 
sled

Thanks wicked you got to ride your sled .. but i hate you cause i havent been able to ride yet lol.. Youll have to give us the full report on the phazer cause were picking one up for my little bro. thanks
 
Damn you!! My phazer is still sitting here in AK with no snow... its 43 and raining and I'm doing the snow dance.

Got any close up pics of the gauge relocation?
 
Running boards icing, snow spray from the tunnel opening? Another naysayer from another site is pointing toward picture #3 on your site as a "glacier" from the opening. What is your experience?
