Quicksilver MX ready to Flight Dec. 25, 2007 Preflight and top off the fuel tank
snow runway
With 500' long track in the new snow packed by 2 passes of the 4-wheeler all is ready to go.

Makes me think about making a set of skis. But the wheels work ok in 6" of new snow.  I do need a packed track to get up enough speed to take off.
