Da New Guy
Hey there Ladies and Gentlemen,
Me Clint. 57 years of age been riding motorcycles since age 4. Raced motocross, roadraced liter bikes, rides mountain bikes and have ridden snowmobiles all my life. Just haven’t owned one since just recently. My lovely gf and I were up at one of my favorite places on earth “Mammoth Mt. Ca.” on Super Bowl Sunday with an epic snow fall happening as we snow shoed the forest. Low and behold the sound from afar, a couple of ripping 2 stroke snowmobiles making their way thru the fresh 4’ deep powder thru the sparsley spaced trees we stood in awh while they gracefully passed by. That was it! 2 weeks later I had my brand new 850 Ski Doo Summit X and a week after that I found a low mileage Yamaha for the gf.
Ive always enjoyed the great outdoors especially skiing but over the years the cost of a lift ticket, long lift lines, busy runs and the quality of the people on the mountain has lost much of its appeal. I have met some of the nicest people since our new found sport and I must say one fact I have come to realize about real Snowmobilers. You can’t be a ***** if you are a real snowmobiler. Even the chics that ride are bada$$. It’s not a fair weather sport and you have to be able to muscle that beast around! Kudos to all of you brave soldiers that go out in these storms and get stuck, occasionally lost, cold, tired and even sometimes beat up. Looking forward to seeing you guys out on the trail somewhere new. Many smiles and God Bless
