Today Brian and I slept in and decided that after a hard day of shredding powpow yesterday we were simply too sore for another day on the slopes. After a few minutes of brainstorming, we decided to look into snowmobile rentals. Shortly after, the car was packed and off we went to Gorham, NH to fire up some sleds. Neither of us had ever ridden a snowmobile before, but after a 5 minute tutorial video, we were both pros. For the next 3 hours, we bombed around the NH backcountry, covering miles upon miles of state groomed trails. Our speedometers maxed out at 160 mph, but we both probably topped out at around 55 mph, which seems pretty damn fast on a seat with nothing protecting you from the elements! Do you think people really redline these things? I can’t imagine!!!
