One of the first years we had our Can-Am Maverick X3, I took my wife and three kids into the woods in the middle of winter. We'd already run a few snowy trails that season and were heading to a spot we could take the kids sledding deep in the backcountry. But it was later in the season, the weather had turned slightly warmer, and while the start of the trail was pretty packed, once you got further, only the top layer was hard.
Beneath lie essentially quicksand. I think you know where I'm going with this.
After sledding and a nice backcountry lunch, we went a little further down the trail to see if we could get to another sledding spot, but we began slipping and sliding and sinking as we ventured further and further. I made the brilliant executive decision to then turn around, but almost immediately sunk the entire thing up to its frame rails. I wasn't super panicked about the situation, as we had plenty of sun, the weather was warm, and I had a set of MaxTrax hooked up to the top of the side-by-side.
