I'm going to fly to Milwalkee in the morning and meet up with a friend of mine to ride snowmobiles. I've never riden them before, and my buddy has only ridden them once! I'm going to fly out tomorrow, pick up two new sleds with a trailer and then he is going to meet me there Saturday.
From what I understand we will need to drive North about 5 or 6 hours to get to some "deep" snow in the Northern peninsula.
Supposedly there are miles upon miles of kept trails in that area, similar to the motorcycle trails in the national forest here.
What I am most concerned with is the cold. I have lived in Texas my entire life and have never been in 10 degree weather for any length of time.
I have been to Wal-Mart and gotten long undies, fleece shirts, etc. I also have a heavy, zipper vented motorcycle riding jacket that should do well. What I don't have is a waterproof pair of pants or riding boots that I think would be up to the task. Does anyone have any advice?
Oh, additional gear that I am taking
-insulated sox
-motocross helment
-3 pair of goggles with different shaded lens
-motocross gloves
-kidney belt
What else do I need?
