Highmarking is a risky business. It’s fun but definitely dangerous. Another couple of inches to his left, and he was dead.

Wonder if he was Swedish......Swedish man survives for [2] months in snowed-in car

Snow-machining is unnatural and should be banned. ;)

My neighbor is snowmobiler, and like many of them he gets a rush out of doing the extreme with his machine, and laughs at us downhillers making tracks on groomed runs. The bumper sticker on the back of his snowmobile trailer, says “Summer Sucks”.

My father was an early adapter of the, then, cutting age snowmobile technology. Man does it make me feel old to see these things displayed as antiques.

cutting age = cutting edge.

The Town I grew up in, (Thief River Falls, Minn.) is only 60 miles from Roseau, the Headquarters of Polaris, And T.R.F. is the headquarters of Arctic Cat. The man who invented and developed the modern version, Edgar Hetteen was our neighbor and lived less than a quarter mile from our home. I rode with him on many a prototype. The “Panther” was what revolutionized the design.

I miss those days. Racing was a way of life and was most exciting. The modern industry is but only a fraction of it's former self.
