TDMAN29, did you ever play football?If so, it might be a good idea for you to consider wearing your football pads and especially your football helmut when skiing and being pulled by your tractor. This safe guard would be most beneficial when you elect to ski the double diamond challenges confronted going in and out of the diches or jumping a side road. Word of caution: I know you might find jumping side roads close to the point of intersection with your dithch run but it is mandatory to keep your eyes out for culverts. If you see one and realize that you will not have the opportunity to avert it, then let go of yout tow rope and squat down as low as you can and you just might shoot right through the culvert to the other side.
