Snowmobiling fun in the sun
After riding every day this week, I wasn’t looking for an ambitious high miler. I wanted to roll it out of the compound and soak in the sun. Snowmobile riding in March is tremendously enjoyable when we have the snow to do it. Yeah, high sun angle eats away southerly exposed thin spots. But “in […]
