I have some experience with them but not in the mountains. I used to be a mechanic and worked on a lot of them. The first thing that would come to mind is steering while locked in 4X4. They tend to want to "push" the front tires, so if in tight quarters in 4X4 don't expect to steer well. On an upside they are hill climbing experts and are extremely hard to get stuck. As a mechanic I got to test drive quite a few of them :-)

I really like mine, but they do not have a favorable turn radius, which might be a challenge in alpine areas that elk frequent. Have never got mine stuck in mud, but have high-centered the thing a couple times in deep snow.
