Snowmobiling is one of the most exciting ways to experience America's snow-lined back-country, in winter. Unlike other snowsports, this one can be quickly learned and doesn’t require a lot of physical stamina. Two people can comfortable ride one machine, so children or sightseers can be taken along on many trips. Driving one of today's light, nimble snowmobiles is a cross between riding a motorcycle, driving a car, and steering a sled with handlebars, except that you control the speed at all times.
