Winter Fun!

Ahh, perfect temperature to snowmobile in!

Getting a shot together proved a bit difficult. There really is nothing to place the camera on for a timed shot. Finally some other riders came along and helped us out.

We covered about 40 miles of trails. The day was crystal clear with amazing views everywhere you looked!

I left the groomed trails to try some powder! Very much like riding the Wave Runner: more body English than steering to get you heading in the direction you want.

Truly breathtaking views.

My helmet and gloves were off for just as long as this shot took. Below zero is really cold! Our water bottles froze, our food froze, and the vapor in your face shield froze the fabric stiff in the minute you had it off.

The snow was deep! If you stepped off of the groomed trail you sunk down to your waist.

"Just keep your throttle wide open and you won't have any trouble making it!"
(I am sure the guy who actually did this would say this to me if I asked him.)
