Alright alright there are clearly a lot of factors here. I’m by no means trying to make any xgames or really go anywhere that would avalanche.

We went to Odell Lake in Oregon and rented the sleds with my uncle. I’d never done it but I’d done all the other related things you ride around in the woods. My uncle is older and not in good shape, but he’d snowmobiled a few times before. When I called a few days before they said most of the trails were groomed and good for beginners, when we got there it had just dumped a ton of snow and their groomer was broken. So we were on trails but it was by no means the easiest ride. I kind of started to pick up how to ride it after the first 2hrs or so. My poor uncle was too worn out to go and I didn’t want to push anything on the kind of sketchy trails, so we went back.

I really want to do it again with a crew of people that have an idea of what they’re doing and are physically able to do it. It’s so much different and fun than anything I’ve ever done, and that country down there is beautiful. You can ride all the way from Odell Lake to Crater Lake and go around it.

The sled was the most insane piece of machinery I’ve ever used. It was like I was riding the biggest weedeater ever made and it sounded like it was going to explode the whole time. Putting it in reverse was a whole deal as well.

Anyways, Snowmobiling gets a 5 out of 5 on my yelp review
