I have always been a dirtbike and ATV rider. Back in 1997 I was 21 and worked with a lady at UPS who asked me if I had ever been snowmobiling. I said no, but always wanted to try. She said her and 3 of her friends (all gals) got them and were heading up to a place in Michigan called St. Ignace for 4 days and if I wanted to go? A snowmobile trip with 3 women how can you pass that up? I went and rented me a 1997 cat 440. I had the time of my life riding that sled. I knew at that moment I was hooked. Since then I have been riding older 2 stroke sleds, but this year I finally bought the big dog. I got a new 07 Yamaha Attak looking at me in the garage everytime I go out there. I've already been talking about when I retire buying a place in the UP and so forth just to feed this addiction. I have no desire to head South for warm weather anymore. let it snow let it snow!
