Snow Buggying

Well I just had to try it! We got about 5 inches of snow this weekend and I suited up to get some buggying in.

Great power slides & 360's but I could not get upwind (not enough traction)!

I ended up just doing some static jumps off a nearby hill into the snow drifts. :yes:

This is only our second round of snow here. It was -13F this morning. A little too cold for me to fly in...
