Daniels Summit Lodge and Snowmobiles

We spent 2 nights at Daniels Summit Lodge which is a centre for Snowmobiling, Cross Country Skiing and Snowshoe trecking. The Lodge has a lovely swimming pool and hot tub and the rooms are superb with huge beds. On Friday Fraser, Leslie and Gavin spent 3 hours on snowmobiles and did a 36 mile trek throughout the forest area. Gaye stayed back at the Lodge and had a pamper afternoon at the spa. We went to a maximum height of 9700 ft and our maximum speed was 36 miles per hour. The tracks were well groomed but if you strayed from them you were in real trouble and could be in 6ft snow drifts. We had some very hairy moments and Fraser and i on our double snowmobile actually lost Leslie at one point, but she had only stalled the snowmobile and we eventually found her again and we got under way. We also had a difficult moment when Leslie left the tract to avoid another snowmobile and ended up in deep snow. Thankfully some people helped us to get her out and a few minutes later we were able to assist another guy who had been run of the track by some idiots. At the end of the session we all were fairly tired and ached in every muscle but it had been a fantastic experience in some wonderful scenery.
