I left the parking brake on and went about 150 yards up some deep snow on a hill. Then it wouldn't move. Whole "diagnosing" the problem I smoked the belt a little more. Then I realized the park brake was on. Anything I may have damaged besides the belt? This is on a 06 Apex GT. Thanks!
 
You may have glazed the clutch faces but that would be about it other than the belt and a little less brake pad on the E-brake.

Scuff down the faces of the clutches and you should be fine.
 
I've done that a couple times. I had to adjust the parking brake a little tighter after that. Wouldn't hold. Maybe that's a good thing.

I dont know how anyone takes off with the E-brake lever flipped over without noticing it? i cant grab my grip with it flipped ,i would have to force my fingers under expecially with gloves on? i can see it happening if you were to grab the very end of the bar (the hook).

Idk please let know ..
