Probably the EX. The Trailblazer is heavy and slow. The EX is also slow but at least it doesn't weigh over 400 lbs.

The EX is a sweet machine! It has its limitations of course, but in its class it can't be beat.

so which is faster and which is better in the snow?

the trail blazer that this guy has for sale has a 500$ hp kit.

i just want speed and to go threw this creek in my forest. And be able to go in the snow and go on small jumps and just have fun with

so u think the ex is better? i rode the trailblazer it was very fast for a 250 b/c of the hp kit. I have not bine on the ex but i have bin on recons and i hear they have the same motor so yea.

250ex seems kinda small to me for most adult males. How big a boy are you?

Based on that I would definistely go with the EX. That Trail Blazer is 470 lbs. That is a lot of machine to throw around at your size. The EX is quite a bit smaller , lighter (only 350 lbs) and will probably be a lot more fun. You are actually the target market for that machine.
