I went snowmobiling for the first time on Sunday, and let me tell you, I will definitely be doing that again! There are more snowmobile trails in Vermont than roads, so it’s really impossible to see the state any other way. And really, why would you want to? I would suggest checking out Equinox Snow Tours to get you started.
We went on the 1 ½ hour tour to get started. You get a chance to ride through the trees at a pace that is comfortable for you, and when it’s cold enough, you can open it up as much as you dare across a lake. Along the way are some of the best views of the Green Mountains that you’ll ever see. With the three hour tour, that we’ll be doing next winter when we go back, you get to see a large ice fall that you’d never be able to experience otherwise. Life really is about exploring and seeing what is out there, and in Vermont this is the best way to do it.
Personally, I love all things fast. So tearing through the woods at 40mph was awesome. And I wish it would have been colder so we could have gone across the lake. I want to see how fast those things will go. The guys at Equinox tours are great and really friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They will only go as fast as you’re comfortable with, so if speeding through the birches at 40 freaks you out, no worries, just go slower. They’ll match you. And if you’re sitting here thinking about just going along as a passenger: DON’T!!! Get out there and take a chance! It’s really easy to ride them, and if you are going with a knowledgeable guide and a safe company, you’re in good hands.
Check out Keir Dillon’s experience with snowmobiling at Mt. Snow to get a taste of what you’re in for in the beautiful, friendly state of Vermont.
Next up: I’ll take you to the American Repertory Theater’s production of Prometheus Bound. With lyrics by Steven Sater and music by the incredible Serj Tankian, it is a powerful and moving play that everyone should see.
