The G2's smooth and ultra slippery UHMW compaction bed makes it possible to groom at faster speeds in heavier snow with less drag.  The fixed 20 degree angle channels the snow processed through the blades and teeth downward into the ski trail, where it belongs.  To demonstrate how well this really works, we intentionally ran the G2 off the trail into 20" of ungroomed snow with the teeth and blades down.  After building up a huge load of snow in front of the machine, the Skandic finally lost traction and dug itself a trench.  As the picture shows, it sure looked like it was time to go get the shovels.  Instead, our (optimistic) operator pressed the switch on the control box, raising the toothbar and blades, shifted into reverse and backed up about 12", and then with the help of one person lifting up on a single ski on the snowmobile, he simply drove forward and continued on through the deep snow.  The G2's compaction bed enabled it to climb over the snow berm and plane through the deep snow.
