I have been involved in extreme sports for several years. As an Alaskan I began climbing mountains and glaciers by the age of twelve with my father. We are lucky to live in a place with so many challenges readily available and close to us so it is not unusual for us to go once a week on an adventure. Recently I have been getting seriously interested in snowmobile racing. We have many races here during our long winters and many are up to the crests of mountains. The biggest danger is starting an avalanche and I have personally had some close calls on two occasions. To be successful in the races you need to modify the snowmobile in multiple ways for better traction and increased power. I use car maintenance software to keep track of all the modifications. Although this type of automotive software is really designed for car and trucks it also works great on snowmobiles.
