Another Great Day Spent Snowmobiling

Another great morning of snowmobiling was enjoyed by four guests from Hong Kong today.

After a short safety briefing, it was then followed by a 10-20 minute practice session. During this session all riders learned how to best negoitate the courses, and control their snowmobile while not getting bogged in the deep snow. Once everyone was familar with the correct operation of their snow mobile, it was then off to the forest course.

A few course OUTS, occurred for some riders, but with the help of your guides, one was back on track in no time at all, and continuing on their way. In middle of the tour we had a 10 minute hot beverage drink break, to warm up, then it was back on our machines and off again, continuing through forests, open fields, then finally finishing up back at our start point.
