There's no doubt that GNCC racers are gnarly guys and gals at heart, but there's always those few riders in every class that just excel when it comes to difficult terrain. Warnert Racing Can-Am's Adam McGill has taken the tough Snowshoe win more than once, as has WMR KTM's Nate Kanney, so it was only fitting that we put these two tough guys up to a showdown, 4-wheels VS 2.
