I like your tip to ride with a buddy for safety reasons. My husband and I are interested in taking a trip to go snowmobiling this winter, but we want to be ready with all safety precautions. Since we're going together, we won't have any issues in that area. We'll have to talk to an expert to learn more about snowmobiling and how we can make that dream a reality. Thanks for sharing!

As you mentioned, when going out on the snowmobile, it is a good idea that you take a buddy, just on the off chance that something goes wrong. My parents are thinking of having a winter family reunion this year, and want to have activities for everyone to do. I will have to ask them if they have considered getting some snowmobiles.
