I’ve been through there on a snowmobile more than once. It’s nice. One time on a trail up the gorge who came across a part of the trail that had a thick layer of ice over it. I was warned not to tough my brake as we crossed over it. As I rode over the worst part I screwed up and touched my brake. The backend of my sled went sideways and took me backwards over the cliff. I thought I was going to die but I didn’t. My husband turned around and I was gone. He knew right away what I did. He chewed me out for that but I had it coming. Oh well…live and learn I guess.
