As long as there isn't alot of snow if there is over 6" of snow on the ground they are not much fun. The lack of ground clearance and 4wd make it more of a pain than it is worth. Yet if you have little snow coverage they are a blast to ride.

I would think its prob. 6's Main reason being.. no matter how much power you have its still going to be hard to get traction and on snow.. you slide alot more than turning.. If im correct the raptor has a lil bit higher clearance.. and it has alot more torque so depending on the type of snow.. id say raptor has a slight advantage.

I have heard that your swing arm skid plate will act like a toboggan and push you up. I will find out when it snows I guess.
