I'm looking at getting one next year. My only con was I was worried I wouldn't be able to pop it up. I'm a 65 year old in good health, so I was glad to see at 70 it is no problem. Eases my mind on my decision.

Never been to Costa Rica, must be amazing! I did not know about the snow there. I take my side by side over the mountain (Cherokee/Pisgah National Forest) to Hot Springs, N.C. Unfortunately Hot Springs was hit hard by hurricane so it will be a while before that area is up and going.

Pretty much same here in Tennessee, if I want snow I just go up the mountain.

Love my X4 too. Ride in all weather.
