The ever-popular get-acquainted with snowmobiling class!!! Come out and figure out what all the fun is about and what you’re missing.
Introduction ride for people that are new to snowmobiling or want to brush up on their beginner skills. Easy trail riding around the Big Lake area, up to 50 miles max or so depending on the group. Lots of stops to explain, discuss and share ideas with other riders and help understand what works and what doesn’t with the controls of a snowmachine.
