I made it out on the Stingers yesterday. We received quite a bit of snow (for us), probably a foot. I was hoping to have my first fluffy powder day since the 2018-19 season, but the snow turned out to be quite wet and heavy. The Stingers did just okay for the first half of the day. After lunch, I switched over to the Sherpas. I felt a very noticeable difference from the Stingers. The Sherpas did a much better job getting through the heavy thick stuff, easier to control and less getting tossed around.
When it started getting dark, I decided to give the Stingers another try. I went down one run. I must say it was awful. The snow was very tracked out and pushed around by then. Plus, it had gotten colder out, and the snow was starting to set up like cement. I gave up and called it a day.
My take so far is that the Sherpas definitely handle wetter and chopped up snow better. I wish the snow would have been lighter. I'm sure the Stingers would have been more enjoyable then. I'm curious to see how the Stingers will perform on groomers and harder packed icier conditions. Most likely those are the conditions I'll experience next time I get out.
