The girls opened the presents and even though they were very happy with what they got they wanted to go for a Snowmobile ride instead of playing with their stuff. I think my wife was jealous. Is hope for this world yet!
I was a bit worried since the ditches are very full now and nobody broke trail yet. My youngest rode on back of the Viper and my oldest rode the Phazer after I instructed her as well as I could on what was going to happen in the ditches.
I will say this. Even with a 10 year old on the back who doesnt get leaning the Viper is waaaay more easy to ride in technical stuff than the Phazer. I did get stuck once but only because I had to stop for a car. My older daughter on Phazer did very well. She will always be my little girl but I bet already she could whip many guys butts on a snowmobile. Her confidence is growing all the time and speed is getting a bit faster each time out. Cant wait for next ride since our trails are open!

Here we are on river which is ruined from the water going on top ice in most places. Glad I got on it when it was perfectly flat. Now its rough.

This is intersection where you can go To PointBeach State Forest or TischMills,Kewaunee all these trails are the trails my club the KettleRange SnoRiders grooms and takes care of. Christmas we let the trails go but what I rode on was still very nice.

We planned to do the Pointbeach loop and head home. It was beautiful in the forest and we only saw one other snowmobile. I believe it is about a 30mi loop.

I saw you guys heading out when I was going to Two Rivers. Your oldest was holding back on that one ditch by your house....it was pretty steep.

Great pics Steve
 
When you leave the Forest you run trail and then a bit of another river to get on the state trail which connects to the river and brings us back to the trail we started on. Sometimes this river has open spots and can be rough. It was. My daughter expected me to drive over this water and up onto the trail. I showed her how and checked depth then let her do it herself. She did perfect!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!
