If you have never snowmobiled trust me you need to try it!!
It's like riding a gokart on a ever changing track.

Snoman, those are not your daddy's snowmobiles. That one on the left foreground is pretty large!!! How fast does that thing go? I have only snowmobiled once, at Lake Tahoe. It was a totally blast but my legs hurt for about a week. I never realized you have to lean out on them to help steer. I am used to the motorcycle, you turn the handlebars and you turn. On a snowmobile you slide a ways before you turn. It was really a lot of fun, for sure.

I've been snowmobiling four times. Had a blast all four times. The first three were group rides with guides but the last time (2001) was just a group of four of us on some trails outside Breckenridge, Colorado. Wow - was that fun! I sucked trying to keep up, but sure enjoyed it!

Sno - that picture in Montana,,,,,,,,you stopped to look at a cow? If it would have been a Gizzly bear coming out of the woods,,,,you would have needed all 115 mph to scoot.
