			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well today Chris, Janelle (One of Chris&#8217;s Friends) and myself went snowmobiling for 3 hours. This was the first time snowmobiling for each of us. But as we felt like a bit of excitement we choose to do the &#8220;Extreme Powderhound&#8221; tour. The snowmobiles we got given were the top of the line models complete with hand warmers built into the handle bars worth approx $20,000 each.</p>
<p>Our tour started off fairly leisurely taking some fairly ordinary tracks up into the hills. This gave us an opportunity to get used to our new toys. We arrived in a large bowl at which time our guide told us to let lose and have a bit of a play around. We did this for a while just mucking around going up banks, plowing through powder drifts etc&#8230; During this time Chris managed to roll his snowmobile while trying to turn on a hill, fortunately he didn&#8217;t hurt him self.</p>
<p>We then continued on into the steeper terrain and deeper powder. At one point i got my snowmobile stuck in deep powder, so deep when I stepped off I sunk in up to my waist!</p>
<p>The rest of the trip included steep banks (near vertical), more powder, runs through trees and a lot of fun!  Included in our package was  a BBQ lunch however we decided that we would rather spend more time snowmobiling than having a BBQ as we can do that any old time. We did however stop for a quick bite to eat and a drink. Then proceeded to play on a frozen lake where i managed to get up to 85MPH (137KM/hr) however could have gone faster if they weren&#8217;t limited to 85MPH. Upon leaving the lake area we each went over a jump and each got a bit of air under our sleds.</p>
<p>Overall it was an awesome experience which I would recommend to anyone! I will put some photos up in my gallery as soon as i get time.</p>
<p>Well i have one more day here in Whistler before heading to Vancouver for a few days then back home to NZ.</p>
