I have a 26 rave 850 turbski on order and plan on ditching the stock 1 ply out with a rip II 1.5"... (plan on studding as well) Now that it's time to order i can't decide whether to do a rip II 1.5 OR hit it with a 1.25... primarily ride tug hill, old forge, locally if I can, and have a couple trips planned to the UP. I'm a 50/50 guy, if the area allows I'm always off screwing around in the deeper snow... I've had a 22 and 24 lynx as well.
