Winter Hobbies!! Its gettin close!

[broke7]

Anybody have winter hobbies in here?

Living in Alaska its a part of daily life from late October to May, and even later in the mountains. Lots of love for the cobra, but its good to have other venues to escape to.

Last year I rode my snowmobile from October 15th, into mid June. Awesome season..... Some exploits.


Videos, then photo's.....ENJOY!! :beer::beer::beer:

Some of the, if not the DEEPEST snow I have ever rode. 72" over a 3 day period on top of a 22ft base in February.

I wish we had that much snow here. What camera are you using?

How much does an airlift tow cost for a brokedown sled?

I use a Sony WSC-290 point and shoot, small, compact, shoots good photo's, and gets the job done. All of the helmet cam shots are a GoPro HD, shot in R4 MODE (960p 30fps 170 degree FOV)


I picked up a new Hero 2 for this year, quality is on another level if you render with good video quality. I also picked up a sony wsc-650 for point and shoot also, stepup. I started using my Iphone 4Gs for some still shots, does a suprising good job at scenery shots.

Airlift is 500 if your stop by the place and get the net before you head out, give them GPS/direction and meet them there. 750 if they bring the net a drop it down and wait while you get it positioned on the sled.

1000 if they bring you, and the net. Lots of times sleds are in spots you cant land in, best to ride in with the net in a large pack or strapped to the sled, hike to wherever it is and wait on the chopper.

That is so bad-ass, OP! Unfortunately, I don't have any winter hobbies down here in South Florida...fall, winter, spring and summer are all molded into one super-long season.

I live in northern Minnesota so I'm a huge snowmobiler as well, extremely jealous seeing your pics and vids though haha. Last winter was absolutely awful for snow, we had next to nothing. I only put 75 miles on my sled, typically I get at least 2,000.

Great videos !

im actually looking for a snowmobile for the upcoming winter here in Iceland, used to ride a Arctic cat M1000 couple years back.

The most fun we have here over the winter is on snowmobiles and taking trips and highly modified 4x4 lifted trucks

Bunch of pics from an old thread i made
