ATV Riding in Snow

On snow days, I like to ride my ATV in the snow. The snow and ice makes it hard to control it on any terrain. My road was so cold that it made me fishtails on to the main road. I only like riding with about six to eight inches of snow, if there is more snow you have the chance to become beached. After removing the snow in the drive way I tried to go in the yard. We had to pull my ATV out with my grandfather’s truck. Now I refuse to ride in deep snow. The only thing that you have to watch is that when you ride that you can see how deep the snow is with your tire. The hardest thing is if the wind comes across your face because you are not able to see what is happening around you. When you are on my road the water trucks and people that work with the natural gas tend to fly so you have to watch traffic and also watch yourself. Riding in the snow is my favorite thing to do over winter because there not much to do when your outside. I like riding throughout the year from riding in the woods, mudding and having fun in snow. I love riding in the snow because you cannot predict how and what things are going to react. It is a lot easier to roll the ATV on yourself. This is my favorite thing to do on a snow day.
