For those who love the backcountry snow, riding a snowmobile can provide quick access to miles of remote country with nobody around.
Like most, I too have never tried riding a snowmobile in the mountain backcountry. But I’ve decided to try it in the next two weeks. A friend of mine, who owns two snowmobiles, offered to guide me on a trip.
Probably the best rental service and snowmobile areas are in the Eastern Sierra.
