They make ATVs that don't require snow. Sheesh!

More seriously, snowmobiles are awesome. The track bites in pretty quick and you'll do 0 to 60 in just a few seconds. If you throw your hips at speed, you can keep a really high speed. Taking giant jumps is fairly easy and reasonably safe, depending on where you do it. When the snow banks get high enough, you can jump the whole road or driveway.

They're a lot of fun.

No suspension though right? Like shocks/springs I mean. Jumps. CRACK. Splintered bones, brain damage, ruptured spleens. Bleeding from ears and eyes. Dying while a wolf is eating you. Do they have a CD player?

Oh, no... They have superb suspensions! Landing is generally pretty smooth.

You could mount a CD player in one, but I suspect it'd freeze. You'd be better off with an MP3 player that broadcasts over your radio in your helmet, like you have with motorcycles. Helmets with radios and automatic defrosting/heat have really dropped in price, so they're much more common now. It is much easier to talk with your passenger that way.
