Snowmobile Essays

Snowmobiles Impact on our Earth Another way to see a beautiful geyser? Or a green and black streaked front yard? A small, efficient engine? Or a polluting, gas guzzling, machine, ruining our ecosystems? These questions all pertain to the debateable subject of land usage on a snowmobile. Some people view snowmobiling as enjoyment of breath taking winter landscapes and spending time with friends and family. Others believe that snowmobiling is harmful to the world we live in, and that it should be restricted

The good, the bad, and the smelly Little do many people know that a long long time ago in a place not so far away, I was a boyscout. I started as a kid and was in “Den 7” and slowly through the years I crossed over into boy scouting. I went through all the ranks and all the summer camps and even all of the outings. Toward the end of my scouting career I really grew to hate the program, I never thought it was “cool” to be a boy scout but with high school right around the corner I figured I was absolutely

There I was having fun snowboarding last season in Breckinridge Colorado over October break. I was riding the park and exploring the mountain “This is so fun “I said excitedly. The mountain was very big and crowded. There were a lot of people in the park. I had not fallen all day and then… What happened was I hit a jump and it had a really bad landing and it "This hurts really badly" I said in pain. I did a 360 off the jump and fell really hard. I did not think that I broke my wrist, but just

Once, I was a little snowflake on top of a mountain. Life was good on Aspen Mountain with the exception of being trampled by skiers. Until one day when a skier wipes out on top of me. As he was falling, Me and my brothers were swept into the man's jacket. Most of my brothers tumbled out as the man stumbled for his Ski poles but I was stuck. I was consumed With panic, praying somehow, someway I would get out before I melt. As the man started to ski down the mountain again, I started to feel the heat

For as long as I can remember I have been a skier. Two years ago I decided to try alpine touring (or randonnée skiing). The only real difference between alpine touring and downhill is that instead of taking the chairlift up the mountain, you put skins on the bottom of your skis and hike up. It was probably around 6 in the morning in early March when my ski group and I woke up from our slumbers in the warm, cozy lodge, threw our packs and skins on, and set off down the trail. We were hoping to catch

As I raced toward the bottom of the mountain I suddenly realized there was a cliff not far from the base. My family and I were skiing in Colorado for a vacation. My parents were down in the lodge on the other side of the mountain, and only my brother and I were skiing. I was on the opposite side of the mountain as my brother because I wanted to prove that I was a better skier than him. I had to make a hasty decision to avoid tumbling off the cliff but I didn’t know what to do! The first time my father

first snowmobile was built in 1908 going by the name Snow Machine. In 1909 a man named O.C. Johnson was the first man to build a snowmobile that would actually go over snow. When the first snowmobile was built in 1908 it was originally built to haul logs in the snow. It was built in Waterville, Main. This large awkward machine resembles a locomotive, but it had a half track design and front skis. Some of our new snowmobiles have many similar features to the snowmobile back then.

Every year, my family goes on a snowmobile trip with my friend Aftyn’s family in Spearfish, South Dakota. About two years ago, we drove out for our trip as usual. The first day was super fun. We stopped at Four Corners, a fun hill to climb, and we did lots of racing. The second day was a little more eventful. “Are you guys ready to go?” my dad says as we rush out the door.

What would you do if You got caught in an animal trap in the freezing cold with snow up to your knees? What would your grandson do?
