Edgar Hetteen, co-founder of Polaris and founder of Arctic Cat, passed away on Saturday, Feb. 12. He was 90 years old.

This is news as painful to write as it is for me to think about:
Pat Mach – husband, father, snowmobiler and President of the USCC cross-country race circuit – died yesterday as the result of a snowmobile accident.
I received the news this morning. What I’ve written above, is all I know at this point.
And before I can begin to fathom what this means on a widespread level, all I can do right now is pray for his wife Lisa and his son Adam.

Drunk Caddie Riding a Snowmobile?

I'm not sure what THIS STORY says about Tyler Bryan, or about (some) snowmobilers.
