Had a red 76 or 77 Exciter back in the day. That sled was so much lighter than most of the tanks on the market. First sled I had that made “powder riding” a possibility. Although I was in middle school and high school in the mid/late 80s so out west road-trips didn’t exist for me yet. It was an Illinois ditch banger!
Good eye Grit! It was a new 340 Enticer, LW, fast for class, wide stance, and great in the 5' deep powder at 6,800 ft. Other sledders would watch, then ask, "how can you get going, once stopped, in that deep snow". I've been sledding the mountains of SD, Wyo, Montana, and Idaho for many years. My newer MT sleds a far cry though, from that very dependable Enticer!
