ohmygosh!!! SSaL, I thought you were a worldly guy by all your quotes!! I guess you are truly snow-challenged!! Actually, that's a good way to be...I would love to live someplace where snow didn't enter the vocabulary.
I've used snomo's around the farm but I'm not sure I would enjoy any sport where you die if your engine quits and you have to go out with more than one machine for this reason. Here in the East Kootenays the flatlanders from Alberta come out every winter with their $25K, 200 hp sleds and die by the handful by playing chicken with mountains. Its called highmarking--they blast up the side of a mountain and just before they spin out they turn around and burn back down. Sometimes an avalanche chases them down. A snow avalanche sounds nice--not! Take a close look at one and you will see 18" diameter trees snapped like matchsticks.
