Snowmobiling

Anybody?

I went up to my meet brother in law who lives in Maine, we went further north then turned west to almost the Canadian border. The trails were somewhat groomed, they had a heavy snow the day we got there and they were a bit soft. I got sucked into deep snow when I came sround a corner and hit soft snow in the corner, buried the sled real good. Anyhow, the trails were groomed but soft, 200 miles the first day touring. The second day the trails were better with more people out on them and the groomer being out the previous night. I hit 73 mph on one trail and I was puckered so hard my butt cheeks were clenching the seat. George said he hit 94 mph. Frickin' trees are just a blurr going by.

I used to really enjoy snowmobiling. Yesterday we had a winter storm temps in the single digits. More snow tonight.

Put on 1800 miles this winter, mostly up in Houghton, Michigan. My wife and I literally could run 80mph all day on the trails, groomed highways!

We just had 4 inches of snow yesterday, just about all gone by 3 the same day. George said he's been on trails farther north that are like highways they are so wide and they run for miles at high speeds.

As for me, I am SO done with winter, I have becone a warm weather type of guy. We have been talking about heading back up this Summer to where we were sledding to do some atv riding. A lot of the trails have banned 4 wheelers, they tear up the logging roads badly during the mud season. If not riding there is a river across from where we stay that has white water rafting, the vids they run at the motel makes it look pretty hairy.

I've never even seen snow above an inch on the ground. Can't even imagine that much white outside of a photo.

That's far too much for my liking. Come March and I'm hoping to see the ground full time but it ain't happening, the weather people are saying potentially more snow coming. Argh.

I don't know what I'd do in weather like that. I live in a climate that is comfortable with flip flops on 10-11 months out of the year.
On the other end of the spectrum, the heat and especially humidity factor can make you want to die for a couple-few of those months.
