The Devil observes that they are really enjoying themselves.
He says to them
‘Doesn’t the heat and smoke bother you?’
Ole replies, ‘Vell, ya know, ve’re from nordern Minnesooota, da land of snow an ice, an ve’re yust happy fer a chance ta varm up a little bit, ya know.’
The devil decides that these two aren’t miserable enough and turns up the heat even more.
When he returns to the room of the two from Minnesota, the devil finds them in light jackets and hats, grilling Walleye and drinking beer.
The devil is astonished and exclaims,
‘Everyone down here is in misery, and you two seem to be enjoying yourselves?’
Sven replies, ‘Vell, ya know, ve don’t git too much varm veather up dere at da Falls, so ve’ve yust got ta haff a fish fry vhen da veather’s dis nice.’
The devil is absolutely furious.
He can hardly see straight.
Finally he comes up with the answer.
The two guys love the heat because they have been cold all their lives.
The devil decides to turn all the heat off in Hell.
The next morning, the temperature is 60 below zero, icicles are hanging everywhere, and people are shivering so bad that they are unable to wail, moan or gnash their teeth.
The devil smiles and heads for the room with Ole and Sven.
He gets there and finds them back in their parkas, bomber hats, and mittens.
They are jumping up and down, cheering, yelling and screaming like madmen.
The devil is dumbfounded,
‘I don’t understand, when I turn up the heat you’re happy. Now its freezing cold and you’re still happy. What is wrong with you two?’
They both look at the devil in surprise and say,
‘Vell, don’t ya know, if hell iss froze over, dat must mean da Vikings von da Super Bowl.
Ask is in the title. I'm over 6'5" and have am oversized in nearly every other dimension as well. Moved to a snowmobiling town, county, and state and am thinking of picking up a sled. Any advice on something that could handle me and is beginners appropriate? Bonus if it's a used model that isn't terribly hard to find. Thanks all :)
Can anyone recommendl a good company that will do a snowmobile rental with a guide? Any help appreciated on this.
Invited to my annual work trip. I’m excited to go. Gear will be provided but should I pick up a set of goggles and gloves just in case.
Any tips for a newb? Maybe a few suggestions on absolutely what to do, or not to do?
I am going to be purchasing a home in Scarborogh, ME. I have this idea in my head that I can just take my snowmobile out of my garage and explore the woods behind the house. Is this allowed? I can't really decipher the laws on whether you can ONLY ride on designated trails. We will own .7 acres and the land behind the house is wooded, owned by the town. Thoughts? I really am just a newbie to these things.
Hi! I'm going to try skiing for the first time this month and I'm wondering if I could use this suit? Or do I need to get ski specific outfit (I really don't have the money for that...).
Here is my suit: https://i.imgur.com/tk6XI8k.jpg

Thanks for your advice!!
New member here. I have a 2022 Summit 850 and I was just wondering when it is too cold to ride? i’ve heard that the cold weather can be bad for your machine and don’t know if that’s actually true or not. It is -28, -27 degrees.
I'd like some advice on some boots that I can buy for multiple sports, ice fishing and snowmobiling. I will be going riding in the mountains in a couple of months but I hope to buy a snowmobile next winter that I will regularly use. For now though, I primarily ice fish. My current boots are a cheap pair from Walmart that need to be replaced (aren't waterproof which makes drilling holes hard when I go ice fishing). Bonus would be if there are boots I can use hunting as well.
Planned a winter sport and chill trip beginning in a few days. I know it’s been quite warm. What are snowmobile trail conditions like? Think Village Motor Sports will let me rent one of their skis?
Also, I’m a moderately experienced hiker but with no high peaks experience. Any suggestions for something short but very sweet, and hopefully quiet? Don’t mind a drive.
Hello, any strong preference in either snowmobile company to book?
I’m coming to Breck in a few weeks and won’t be skiing with everyone else in my group (bad back). I was thinking of doing a snowmobile tour with High Country, but I’m not sure what to do with transportation. They no longer offer it, and there are no groups going to that destination with Jake’s Mountain Shuttle. I could Uber, but it’s 50 minutes away and I’m worried about availability there and back.
Then I saw Good Times, which seems a much closer distance, but I wasn’t sure if the views/experience would be as great.
Anyone have any strong preferences for one company over the other?
Also, what’s your favorite Breck brewery?
Hello! We spontaneously booked a honeymoon to Jackson hole for three weeks from now.
We booked a wildlife tour, dog sledding, and are planning to rent a snowmobiles and go to the hot springs.
But we wanted to rent them for a full day and it seems to me the granite springs trail is pretty short, the the togwotee pass is too far to do both in 8 hours?
What’s better? Any input?
We are planning to rent the snowmobiles in Jackson already loaded onto the trailer
We are planning a snowmobiling trip to the Western part of the U.P. in mid-February for 4.5 days and need help planning our routes. We fly into IWD, pick up sleds in Bergland and don't return the sleds for 4.5 days. We would like to check out Porcupine State Park, Copper Harbor area, Ironwood, perhaps Iron River area. We would like to stay in a different place each night, but when I look at the map, and try to figure out a route to see all and stay, I get overwhelmed. I would love recommendations on routes/loops to see as much of the Western part of the U.P. as possible in 4.5 days. Thanks in advance!
With the changing weather and all that ice melting, what do you think will be the future of snowmobiling? With the recent climate changes through out the world I think that snowmobiling will be effected alot.

I have a trip with my partner to Whistler coming up, I was hoping to do some snowboarding but I injured my wrist and don't want to risk injuring it more. Wanted to do something else fun and looked into snowmobiling, I have no experience doing it and it is quite pricey but was wondering if it's worth the price.
Edit: after reading the comments I'll probably just stick with snowshoeing
Looking for a company that gives snowmobile tours or let you rent snow mobiles in big sky ?
Is it legal to snowmobile in Lester Park? Right now there’s a couple people on a couple sleds just ripping around. I know there’s the trails leading to the park but these people are speeding around the actual park, picnic area, playground, and field. Just seems incredibly sketchy especially since there were a couple young kids around (although they just so happened to be leaving with their parents which I would assume was related to their sudden noisy guests)
Hey guys, im looking for a camera for filming snowmobile videos and some summer sports like dirt biking etc. But the main thing is snowmobiling so im looking for something that doesnt die in the cold or can be charged while recording. Does anyone know of a good quality camera? Thanks
Hey guys I’ve never snowmobiled before but would love to learn and get out there. I have a drivers license but would be more comfy starting with a guide. I tried to google this but only found rental places. Anyone know if a tour or lesson might be possible somewhere?
