FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Ed Klim
HASLETT, MI Yes, it's our time of the year when we get to do what we love to do --Go Snowmobiling!!!

Folks who don't snowmobile often ask us, "Why do you love to go snowmobiling?" Our response is quick, enthusiastic and concise. We go snowmobiling to enjoy the outdoors with our friends and family. Sometimes we view snowmobiling as a life-style activity, enjoying the challenge, the invigoration and the exercise.

Most days, snowmobiling is simply our winter recreation choice and lifestyle activity. We live in the snowbelt and snowmobiling is what we do in the winter. Snowmobiling is a part of our social life, and is very important to those of us who don't enjoy sitting in front of a television or a computer screen. Snowmobiling is our cabin fever relief and our escape.

Snowmobiling is the time we spend with our families. Snowmobiling is when your 22 year old son and daughter show up at the door and want to spend the weekend with their mom and dad. Yes, snowmobiling brings the family together and brings the kids home from college or the big city. Snowmobiling brings home the grandchildren and all their questions. There are many activities that are a big part of snowmobiling that we all enjoy - whether it's the hot dog cookout in the middle of the woods, the hot chocolate next to the clear, fast flowing stream, or sitting by the fire or in the hot tub following a long day snowmobiling.

Universities questioned snowmobilers trying to understand why we enjoy snowmobiling as much as we do. The main reasons we give for our love of snowmobiling are:
  1. We snowmobile to view the beautiful scenery.
  2. We snowmobile to be with our friends and family.
  3. We snowmobile to get away from usual demands of life.
  4. We snowmobile to be close to nature and learn the land.
  5. We snowmobile to reduce tensions.
  6. We snowmobile to experience the solitude and go to places that only snowmobiles can take you to in the winter.
The snowmobile community is busy working on a new effort to tell the non-snowmobiling world why we snowmobile. We are always looking for real life reasons as to why people snowmobile, so if you have some special thoughts that you would like to share with us, please visit our web site at www.snowmobile.org and send us a short note on why YOU go snowmobiling.

There will be more on this important subject. Let's all get ready for a great winter, filled with fun and many memorable moments.
