Plan to Take a Vacation Snowmobiling!
Why not use some of your vacation time to take a snowmobiling vacation? We have great snow conditions in many locations so it’s a great time to plan a short trip. Throughout the winter, I often snowmobile on the weekends – Friday, Saturday, and Sunday when most people are out riding. Once in a while I am able to take somebody snowmobiling on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday – mid-week – and what an enjoyable time it is!
