I use to be so scared of our snowmobile.  I would play in the snow at age 4 while my dad and sister would ride the Scorpion around the yard, running up on the porch shaking my head NO when they would stop and ask me if I wanted to ride.  Then, I got the guts to sit on it one day and dad took off.  My first ride on a snowmobile was a surprise, but honestly, you couldn't get me off the dang thing after that.

We went from a black and red Scorpion with the a raised Scorpion logo on the seat to a signature yellow and black Ski-Doo.  I miss those days!  It sure seemed like there was a lot more snow when I was younger though.  It's recently been announced that the Minnesota Snowmobile Trails are open!  However, according to the newly revamped snow conditions website, many are lacking proper snow depths for a decent ride.

According to WDIO.com the DNR wants to remind you that your snowmobile needs to be registered and equipment needs to be inspected.
