Any snow mobilers out there to offer advice to newbs?

[Graham]

The wife and I just came back from a great week away at a cottage on Lake Huron. We have been there before and will return.

The next time we would like to snow mobile. I am going to get certified but am looking for anyone that has experience and can offer any tips.

We will be renting a sled so what can I look forward to and what should I be wary of?

Thanks guys!

Lots of snowmobilers die here every year, caught up in avalanches..in the mountains, not too big a risk in your back yard Graham, but I've heard of people losing their heads running into a buried fence and hitting the wire...stay off lakes...and drink afterwards....its a vehicle and you can be charged with impaired, don't be thinking of the CN tower while behind the wheel....and resist temptation...PS, I've never snowmobiled cause I know I'd kill myself... :lol: Steffan

Summer in Canada is called two weeks of bad snowmobiling.
