Snowmobiling

Owned by the Mt. Hood Snowmobiling Club, "Skyline" is a facility where you park your rig and take off with your snowmobile on the forest service roads rendered inaccessible by cars due to snow. A friend of ours has 4 snowmobiles - this guarantees him a good time as long as he can find willing souls to join him! I found the cost to be minimal - about $20 per sled for a hard day of tearing up the snow. With tight curves and plenty of straightaways, you can really get the speed up on these sometimes-squirrelly machines. I managed to hit 90+mph on 2 different occasions. It was our first time doing it, so we were well worn by the end of the day! Can't wait to do it again! Tracks crossing Timothy Lake made me think of all the crazy people out there - then I learned that you can cross open water on a snowmobile. Just do a search on YouTube and you'll see what I mean. What an amazing machine.
