"We are veteran sledders with many years on steep runs with "red sleds". This year we saw the Hammerhead and couldn't resist. Have taken it to the same steep slopes w\ conditions from hard packed, 1-2" of powder over hard packed, and in & out of 6" fluff over hard packed. Impressions? ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. It controls and tracks like a sports car- even at top speeds. For us, it's a well made investment in this year's winter fun & excitement- and appears to have the quality to be around for many of them." - Gary, VT
