Deaf Snowmobile Weekend '23


 What can I say about this weekend? It is not even over. It is extremely erratic but the way it works, I'm all down for it. 

This year, 2023, marked the largest group ever. 22 participants - 15 men, 6 women and 1 child. 

Never did I have a child participate in this event. Absolutely awesome. You won't hear any complaint from me on this.

Largest group came from Minnesota which I must admit I lost the count. They were all great.

Yesterday was the first time that I had a full day of snowmobiling without any stop - in the last 4 years (sans the COVID year), we usually had like 3-4 hours of snowmobiling *and* swimming time.  But this time, the swimming experience is excluded. What a difference. The entire day, even if you're tired - you have to be on your toes all the day long. Many of us are exhausted except for the Deaf experienced snowmobilers.

My eternal gratitudes go to the experienced snowmobilers who were able to share their experiences so we can ... survive in some capacity.

Oh, yeah, Sandy flipped into the downhill. Haha.

Cheers,
