I would have my doubts that they would be suitable in mountainous country. They aren't very useful in steep terrain. Standing in a sled on flat to rolling terrain is way different than trying to on steeps. They're basically a walk- behind lawnmower on tracks.

They should start making elans again for those that want small and light. Elans were dependable little snowmachines and easy to work on. There are still some around but hard to find parts now.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

They get stuck a lot more when using them for serious trapping compared to the new big widetracks,but they are easy to get unstuck. I've owned a bunch of elans and older one lung tundras over the years.They are very uncomfortable if you are going any long distances compared to the new bigger machines.
I would likely buy one again if they made them just to play.

^^^^^ We have a bunch of snowmachines we use up at our lake property, they range from a single cylinder 277cc Tundra, up to a big 1000cc hill-climber. It kind of amusing that everybody loves to play around on the little Tundra.
