Snowmobiling in the wilds of West Yellowstone (Video)

Hi Mick

Very different of our deserts.......you would not want a Grizzly to come of those trees...lol

Not too sure but I thought masochism was a medically diagnosable and treatable affliction....lol.

When we were the dealers for the Polaris brand (the other Ettien spelling? brother) we were offered a ride on one of their snowmobiles somewhere in the norther states of USA.
Sounded good on the surface, but would have been in their winter.
Minus 100 degrees, frozen extremities, snow drifts with big rocks and stumps inside, did I mention minus 100 degrees (;=0)

Looked like fun though, if you didn't mind a few fingers and other odds and ends snapping off...(:-((

Were there any flies Mick?

Always wanted to do the White Christmas thing at least once, and yep, even after hearing about their recent cold temps still interested.

My bet is your not going to say it is cold here in a few months. Just under 0 would feel like a spring day.

G'day Mick O,

Just one question pal, what did you do come 'happy hour'???

Guess, maybe sit around a hole in the lake..or perhaps a weeny bit of service
on the 'Cats'..........you know, the usual stuff -repair this, plug that etc.

Oh and for din-din was it a nice cool ale followed by a can night...lol

Must be different that's for sure..........looks like a great time was had by all.

Somehow sitting around having happy hour singing campfire songs in my best falsetto imitation of the BeeGees didn't quite do it for me.

Good stuff Mick.
Such a great experience, so much fun except for the cold :)

That's awesome Mick. Can't watch the video yet. When I first joined this website a few years ago now, I was still living in Melbourne, but now I live in Idaho Falls about 90 mins south of West Yellowstone. (I don't have a Pajero anymore either BTW, F-150 now). I still haven't been to the park in the winter so haven't done the snowmobile thing there yet. I think they have a free weekend coming up when they open it to cars, so I hope to go again then. I am jealous you got to do it in the snow and on a sled. It's a great part of the world for the outdoors, and Yellowstone is truly magical. Pity you didn't get to go real riding in the mountains and really open up the sleds, but that's a whole 'nother experience. You mentioned you have a quad, I have a Polaris Sportsman 850 Touring that I LOVE to ride on trails all around Idaho. I really believe all adventurous Australians would love this part of the world. Glad you had a great time!
