We were somewhere on the north side of Mt. Terrill yesterday. We were doing some off-trail training on the snow machines. I've putted around on snow mobiles a fair number of times before. But, like most outdoor sports, the technology and the terrain have been pushed to the limits, leaving me to appear incompetent in front of my peers. In fact, one of my colleagues tried to teach me to steer the machine by leaning the track from side to side. He insisted that I should not need to use the skis for turning, but should be able to do it by leaning. I'm sure he is correct—and the proof is in the picture—but I couldn't master it. Needless to say, I flunked the training.
