Once the snow is two feet deep and there's no trail, I don't go there, especially if it's powder. I break trail with my VK or Cheyenne. I'm too big for the tundra LT. I can't stand diggin out all the time. I'm in Ester at 1500 feet. I learned that if the trails not broke, it's not gonna work after a while.
I’ve broke trail on both the Tundra and VK. Most of my sticks are operator error, I’m learning to use all the ponies the VK has. Usually if I stick the tundra I’m asking too much of it. I’ve got another video where the VK floats through the deep, literally hip deep. That was a decent day.
Thanks. I just watched a vid of a guy on power modz put some skins on old Elan skis. He just drilled his holes in the skin as needed and used a mapp gas torch to do some heating and bending for better fit. I have a 92 tundra more like your, then my dad passed a 97 LT and that does better in deep snow. It's worth putting skins on old skis in your opinion, better handling and float? Thanks again.@@TemplesLongtailsandFurs
Aaron Alto I think so if you have soft snow deep enough to warrant it. Here in Fairbanks it is, back gone we usually had hard wind blown snow that wasn’t worth it.
@@TemplesLongtailsandFurs I'm in N MN and we can get deep loose powder and I'm riding new snow on logging road or stuff like in your vid and I want my front end to float more easily instead of me trying to get weight back all the time to keep the front end up. Thanks I'm inspired.

I have slowed right down, just managing a few snares for coyotes at bait stations.
Keep perservering Temple. You probably slept good last night.

leslie huerd I slept pretty good! Thanks for the view and comment Les, hope you're getting more fur then me!
Love that super tall windshield! What year is your Tundra?
north61 sadly that tall windshield blew off when I was trailering from the house to the line one day! I was pretty sad. I believe this is a 91.
@@TemplesLongtailsandFurs That is a very sad occurance. I think the 91 was the last of the 250 engine or near it.
@@north61 92 was the last
Does your Tundra have plastic skis or skins? I've got a 97 tundra and want try running a wider ski? Looks like crazy tough going.
Aaron Alto I believe it has metal skis, with plastic skins.

Aaron Alto sounds like you’d benefit from some wide skis! Stan Zuray may have a video on how he makes his out of UHMW.
