Statewide snowfall brings ...

Doing donuts on the street is not wise and it's also not wise to ride a sled without a helmet.

I feel bad for the man and his family, but so many accidents are due to the rider being careless, exceeding their riding capabilities (lack of experience), riding in unfamiliar areas and ofcourse alcohol/drug use.

It's fun to zip across the lake and I do it, but on the trails I prefer to take it easy and enjoy the scenery. I also enjoy getting back home in one piece.

Sleds these days are extremely powerful and launch like a rocket. They are not like the old single cylinder 20hp sleds of the 1970's.

Ride carefully, ride sober, wear a helmet and STAY ON THE TRAIL !!!

I'm looking forward to getting up there in 14 days.... but who's counting??
