Question 7

WHAT ABOUT ELDERLY FOLKS OR THE DISABLED?

Accepted Answer

For those of us without the muscular strength, coordination, or you are just tired from a long day skiing, snowmobiling lets you see mother nature at her grandest in the wintertime. Snowmobiling primarily uses your arms and thumb to control the throttle. Many who are unable to walk, ski, or snowshoe can still enjoy the winter wilderness on snowmobiles.
