I will say I have always been interested in the C & A ski, I mean every brand sled does run the in the snow cross, And I am sure they are worth the money, BUT! will I get my moneys worth, OR will the doolys do just as good for what I need, I dont do snow cross, But ride pretty hard, My friends call me a nut, I do like to go fast, and like to get every MPH out of evry turn and stright I can, But as far as a trail ride I think I can get that from the doolys, for a less price. But do like the C & QA ski.
