I just came back from a weekend trip to the mountains. My boyfriend and I went snowmobiling! We rode about 7 hours with about a 30 minute break up and back. The only other stop was my one small wreck! I felt muscles I didn't know I had the next morning, and come to find on here that I burned about 1729 calories!!!!! OMG!!!! Can't wait til next weekend!!!!!

    Glad you had fun, Chris!

    I snowmobiled in CO a few years back. I thought it was just a slow motorcycle type of ride. Our guide "Wiley" Thought it was funny to go fast........ I mean bone jarring fast!

    I had the time of my life! Good thing I went before I injured my neck, because I would of been in the ER after that day!!

    My boyfriend thinks breaking the speed of sound is funny too!!!! He was really hard to keep up with!! But it was great fun, and I love being outside! The mountains are beautiful too!

    I hope so. We use the 4-wheelers when there is no snow! This might be a good one to let the hubby have his way on! We have a great time, it's something we enjoy together, and now that I see it's exercise too....waaahhooooo!

    I was telling my husband about the calories you burn and how sore you were and he said well yea you have to control them. Maybe if we get those I can get something that I want. :wink:
