We pretty much got a winters worth of snow in one month where I live in Idaho. I figured with the new powder my Buffalo would sink while my wifes Max II with factory tracks would still float. I was surprised mine still managed to stay up enough to keep moving. There were times I was definitely pushing a wall of snow in front of me but the tracks worked well enough. Her II was of course a lot better in these conditions, but I am overall happy with the results.
