I'm hoping that someone here has ridden both of these sleds. I'm giving serious consideration to switching from my 2011 Apex SE over to a 2013 Switchback Adventure. I'm looking for something with a bit more versatility. Thanks

I've rode a 13' switchback pro R 600, just a step down from the adventure model and it was pretty sweet. Push button reverse and what not. I felt like the stock track that was on it killed it for powder riding since i felt there was a "drag" on the sled. Handled the pre-groomer trail season like a champ with my broken leg with the walker evans (I hear these are only good for trail). Pulls the skis up just a tad on the trail, but doesn't leave you behind. Owner of the sled feels that it pushes through the corners, but he is only used to 121" tracks and this is his first 136". If you are ditching the apex for a switchy then id go with a longer track if you plan on doing powder rides with it.
