Just got back from a 4 day trip to Powder King Mountain in British Columbia, Canada. Only my second time on a snowmobile but I love it. Never realized how physical snowmobiling can be...every muscle in my body is aching right now. I stayed at my buddies winter place (shack) on the mountain. Everyone who stays there in the parking lot for the winter are all hardcore snowmobilers. These guys like to drink and egg each other on to see who can do the highest "highmark" up the side of a mountain. If you don't make it, you can say goodbye to your expensive snowmobile because it'll be in pieces at the bottom of the hill....these guys are all oil workers with lots of money so it just means upgrading to bigger, faster machines with nitrious and everything. We were spring riding so we had to be real careful of avalanches. We actually had one go above us in the mountain but luckily it stopped about 100 feet before hitting us. Since it was only my second time on a sled and I was borrowing it from my buddies wife, I took it real easy....didn't want to destroy the sled or myself. Here's a link to a few shots of where we went. Not a lot of action shots because it was kinda a pain to keep pulling the camera out of the back pack. The pictures don't do the size of the hills any justice.
