We used to go out and ride it in the parking lot and adjoining empty lots after a 2-6" snow fall. Talk about fun. I remember going around the back of the building once. I found myself immediately stalled and suspended in a 3 ft snow drift. It was hilarious. Another time I remembering coming out the front door, looking left, and seeing one of the other guys come shooting out from around the side of the building on the thing BACKWARDS! Granted, it was icy, but I couldn't imagine how he got turned around without spilling it. Perry Emrath, U of IL
