Snowmobiling: The Time of Your Life

Sports Addict — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 23:10:45 +0000

One of the most enjoyable activities I have every done is snowmobiling. Once you get on, you won’t want to get off.
It is a fun activity for all ages; my nephew and niece of age 5 and 2 love it. When we are done riding and step off the machines my niece cries at age 2 because she enjoys it so much.
You will have the have the time of your life as you soar though thick pine woods, climb deep powdered mountains, and fly through the air as you just hit that fresh cornice. Life is good when you are in the mountains.
Nothing beats a fresh powder day. Being in the mountains is a great time to reflect and be thankful for the beautiful surrounding. When the sun is shinning and you are the first one with fresh tracks, life is great.
There are many thrills in snowmobiling. It is a blast to climb up a mountain with easy or flying off of that 20 foot drop that makes your stomach drop as you soar through the air momentarily.
My personal favorite, is being completely covered in fresh powder, sled and body; and being able to ride out of the deep tracks because of your powerful sled. It is thrilling when the snow covers your face and goggles and you are unable to see for a moment.
If you ask were to ask me what heaven on earth is being in the mountains making nature your playground would be my answer, but don’t take my word for it give it a try for yourself.

When the air turns cold and the snow starts to fall, it can only mean one thing; Snowboarding season is upon us! That is right. It is time to pull out the boards, boots, coats, and beanies because the snow is already accumulating in Utah and Colorado. With the two most popular states for snowboarding already preparing to open, the talk of season pass purchasing is already here. It is in the air. Everyone can feel it. It is almost time to start hitting the slopes.

I was recently in Park City for a vacation and everyone was talking about when the first snowfall would take place. Well, from the looks of it, yesterday was a big day in Utah and Colorado for snow. They both landed a couple of inches in the mountains which is putting smile on faces of snowboarding fanatics everywhere. I even have a buddy in Georgia that called me yesterday to see if I had heard the news about the recent snowfall in Utah and Colorado. He was so excited for his trips out there in November, December and February. Yes, that is right. My buddy from Georgia has three trips scheduled to hit up the Rockies for the fresh powder. Absolutely insane!

However, he is not the only one. Their are thousands of people that do this every winter, adn yes, I am one of them. I am excited for this snowfall and can’t wait to get out there on my burton and start riding the big white wave. So stoked!!

Who would have thought that people would be racing lawn mowers? Not me, that is for sure. But what about when I tell you that they race lawn mowers on ice? Ye sir, that is how thy do it in arctic.

Natives of Finland race lawn mowers on ice at their finest. It is amazing to watch. Who knows? This may end up in the winter olympics some day. If you ask me, I would definitely buy a ticket to witness this. Men and women on high-powered lawn mowers, sliding all over the place and crashing into each other. Very entertaining. Give it a look.
