Snowmobile
Snowmobiling is not a well known extreme sport but it involves a snowmobile (funnily enough) which is extremely powerful and allows the rider to get some serious air and speed. A little like Quad Biking but for Eskimos!
Unless your minted with a holiday home in a snow covered country, this extreme sport is probably something you will give a go on your holiday.
Snowmobiles ride just like a quad bike but with a lot more power. The caterpillar track at the rear of the snowmobile propels you along at butt clenching speeds while the two skis at the front steer you. Just!
Where to go, Cost and Equipment
Find the snow and you have found where you can snowmobile. This machines can be used in all conditions so they are many locations all around the world but for big wide open plains of snow, North America and Canada would definately be worth a visit. Check with your travel agent.
