Early in the season, shorten up on your top link. That will raise the cutting edge further off the ground, rocking the unit back on its skid shoes. You will be surprised how little adjustment it takes. As the winter goes on and things firm up, you can lengthen the top link out to lower the cutting edge.
Hope this helps. I have the same setup as yours and love it. Depending on how much ice you get, you might want a set of chains on those turfs. I put mine on in December and leave them on till spring.
Hazmat - come up to Gore Mountain. Just talked to a friend who skied it Saturday and it was great. Like you say, limited cover, but what is there is in great shape already. Going down to zero tonight, get those snow guns blowing!
