Is the technique you’ve got to gun it while in the air after the ramp? Anyone know the details of how to make this work? With global warming and all, I’m thinking the techniques could be useful for backcountry skiing access.
I Found This Oddly Compelling

What’s weird about that video is there is nobody else at the lake. I wonder why? It seems like a good place to shoot guns, burn car tires, blow stuff up and dump garbage.
some good ak summer fun, fantastic find
Why not just buy a jetski? If you want to destroy something, at least keep the snowmo for winter time
I like the idea of my one 2-stroke recreation device doing it all. Do they make a chainsaw attachment?
Lou, in some of the lumberjack competitions they have had chainsaws with snowmobile engines. They cut through wood like butter. I am surprised someone of those guys landed the jump, pretty difficult. Being a snowmobiler myself, I have to say it makes me cringe seeing some of the stuff people do on sleds. I can only imagine what fluids leak in the water when they sink. 🙁
I wonder how long it will be before guys take their sleds to the white water of the rivers. Who will be the first to sled the grand, ha? Let that seed take to earth……..
For years they used to have snowmo water races here in Alaska on Big Lake. Not just drag racing either, ovals! Not sure how many ended up at the bottom of the lake over the years…. I think they always retrieved them at least.
I’d imagine that with a nice long cleated track and big skis, it’s not all that tough to go on water.
I saw a vid a while back of a guy barefoot waterskiing behind a snowmobile. Toys.
We deleted the vid embed by accident, can’t remember where it was on Youtube, anyone have the link? Thanks, Lou

Thanks Dave! I fixed, we’ll see how it goes. Having some problems with our software inadvertently deleting stuff when we edit.
While neutral on snowmobile BC access, I think this is pushing it…

Thanks David, I think someone had reminded me about that a while ago, but it slipped through the cracks during last winter’s busy travel season. I just made a blog post out of it, as this could be one of the most controversial yet useful things to come along for backcountry skiers facing access issues such as lengthy snow-covered roads already used by snowmobiles.
