Today I went snowmobiling for the first time. Steve, Eric, Matt VH, and I all went up to Daniel's summit to go sledding.

So they have a well groomed trail system up there. They say to go around the loop counter-clock wise. So we start heading up. Probably close to a mile up the trail we see a small meadow. Well Eric jumps in there, which get us all wanting to go. Steve goes in next, followed by me. I catch up to Steve & Eric where they had stopped. Eric went down the hill, and I followed. There was another clearing below where Eric started to turn around. I followed right after him, but couldn't get the sled to turn! I stopped right before a tree! Steve came next and started helping me get out. Then Eric came to help. Then Matt came down. This really sucked. So we got it out, and back up to the other sleds. But we were still down in this lower clearing. So we moved Steve's sled out of the way so that I could get a good run. I took off, and didn't let off until I got back to the trail. I waited and waited. I wasn't going back in to get them out. After a few minutes an employee of Daniel's Summit came along and asked me what was going on. After telling him he went down to help them get out.

Someone else will have to comment on what exactly happened next, as I was not there. All I know is it resulted in Steve's sled hitting a tree!

Eventually everyone made back to the trail, and we went back to the lodge to replace Steve's busted up sled. WHAT FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I mean we just wrecked one of their sleds, and they wanted us to get another one so we could continue our day!

So we went back out, this time staying on the trail. We got clear up along the crest of the mountain. We found another meadow, and Steve got stuck again! This time it wasn't too bad, and we had him out in a couple minutes. We then took a short cut trail back down towards the road. Once we got down we had HUGE clearings to play in. We all got much better at riding in powder, and not getting stuck. But Eric did take a turn getting stuck.

Then Matt crashed. Again. It looked like he was crossing the road, and hit the edge which threw him pretty good. He went off the back, and the sled continued another 50 ft. He hit his knee, but was back to riding just as hard 10 minutes later.

We decided to finish off the day with dinner at the lodge there, then came home. It was a ton of fun, but I won't be trading in my LT-R any time soon! My pictures are up now in the gallery, and Matt has some that will be coming soon.

BTW I did make a change that you now need to be logged in to enter comments to photos. There were ton's of spam comments I had to go through to delete.
