If you’ re an avid snowmobiler, you’ll inevitably encounter storm snowmobiling. Riding out from home to play in a snowfall ordeal is one thing. After all, you can simply turn around and go back or seek familiar shelter if the squall’s too much.
But getting caught in a major blizzard on tour in an unfamiliar area is something else again. Suddenly, you’re riding blind, the trail ahead’s buried and the going is gone. You’re no longer sure exactly where you are and don’t know where to find nearest shelter. And then you realize you’re not likely to make it wherever you’re going for that night.
I’ve had numerous stormy adventures. And while they make great stories afterwards, the actual experience can be tough, brutal and scary. Surviving storm snowmobiling requires teamwork and stamina, plus riding skill and smarts.
