I went snowmobiling in the Mountains of Wyoming with my 9 year old son this weekend.  This was the first time he had ever been snowmobiling in the mountains.  I've taken him riding in Minnesota and Wisconsin in the past and he has done just fine.  Well needless to say the mountains are a entirely different animal all together.  First,  we were riding at 10,500 feet above sea level.  Second, the snow was super deep, were talking 3.5 to 4 feet deep of powder.  If you haven't put 2 and 2 together yet let me explain.  I'm one hurting unit today from getting him unstuck about 15 to 20 times.  If you've ever done any sort of activity at 10,000 feet elevation you know what I'm talking about.  Anyway here is a funny video of him trying to jump a small hill.  I hope you enjoy and no one was enjoyed in the video thank goodness.
