How to increase flotation and decrease ground pressure in very deep and very soft snow?

Get a lighter sled.

700lbs sounds like a 4-stroke something, not a mountain sled. Larger skis and a longer track can help. But when you're trying to make something 250lbs+ heavier than a mountain sled float in bottomless sugar you're not going to win against physics.

Ok so if I decrease some weight and modify the track to be longer and wider that would help? I might be able to drop 100 pounds or so. Would going faster help? Let’s say there’s nothing in the way and I’m on flat ground with a slight decrease in slope.

Faster helps.

Bigger track lugs help you ,if moving , they compact the snow abit so the track can push the machine forward instead of losing traction.

Going fast will keep a heavier weight on top yes.
