Son snowmachining in Mtns

Tikaani · February 15, 2011, 09:52:23 PM

My boy thinks my idea of snowmachining is for "old guys" Thought I would post a few pictures of the boy up in the mountains doing his thing. I do enjoy going up there and watching him and his friends though. Yea Barry, it's a Ski-doo.

This was when it all started, 13 years old and mom and dad had no idea he was taking off (literally) doing this stuff

Pretty cool stuff.

Those wild and crazy days are behind me now. I like your idea of snowmachining, John.

Us old guys like to fly too, it's the landings that kill us! Speaking of which I see a wide track on Alaska list I need to check on.

Doesn't your son know that those things don't have wings are are designed to ride ON the snow not OVER it?

I am sure there was a BIG smile on his face while doing jumps.

Cool pictures John! Hey, who fixes those machines after any mishaps? I'm betting it's dear Ol' Dad?

Awesome captures

You and Mom had no idea he was taking off doing that stuff?

You got to admit, it beats some of the other things he coulda been taking off and doing.

Looks to me like he needs his pilot license!

My son's bottom jaw dropped and his eyes widened up when I showed him these pix. I told him not to get any ideas.
Great shots!

Thanks for all the great comments guys, I'll be sure to pass them on to him. Most of you are right, his mother and I worry when he heads out, how he controls a 175hp sled like he does is beyond me, and although he has beacons and all the gear our biggest worry has always been avalanches. Thanks again.

I bet he's into the winter X games. The things they do are amazing.
