The Trouble with Dreams

The trouble with all of this snow is that, when you get this much, it's too deep for the ATV's to take full advantage of. Oh, sure, you can plow your driveway and drive the ATV on the roads, but once the snow is three feet deep, it becomes too deep for any stock ATV. You can back up and get a full head of steam and plow off into it, but pretty soon you're just like an ice breaker pushing a big wall of snow/ice about headlight height and this only works for a little while on level ground. Going downhill is suicide because, if you get stuck going downhill, well you're screwed, obviously. But I got the green one out and busted loose with a little figure 8 on about about 1/2 acre. It's pretty fun because you're just bouncing around in it like a slot-car or a pinball in a chute. Turning the handlebars does next to nothing at this point. It's kinda fun, but it's more fun when you can take full advantage of the property and just roll all around pulling the sleds. Maybe tomorrow it will pack down enough so we make some longer runs for the sleds.
