Yeah, the tracks they leave look like they will make a nice surface to ride on but I've seen those guys keeping up with me at highway speeds when the trail runs parallel to the highway. Wouldn't want to get in the way of that.[/QUOTE]

I've been riding snowmobiles for years and participate on a snowmobile forum. It's funny to see people post about biking on the trails, it freaks them out. Also you have the XC skiers, the mushers, and the hike/snowshoers sharing the trails. I do all of the above but stay off sled trails for your same reasoning. Even though 95% of the riders just cruise it's the 5% that give snowmobiling a bad rap. The only good thing is you can hear em coming for miles, and get out of the way if you see a snow cross racer wannabe in a full kit. It has been the best riding year around here since 2003.
