“Snowmobiles ran well, the pathway we took was quite bumpy but the views were nice and sky was perfectly clear. Although no auroras were seen during the ride, it was a great way to spend the evening. Although, we got stuck behind someone who wasn't following the rules and the instructions had to keep informing him of rule breaks (he was riding color but trying to film, swerving around instead of staying in line, and slowing down randomly and speeding up a ton to catch up when we got behind).”

So, he gave us the option to get a refund or get the experience by going around for a little bit and then use the other motors. So we decided to go with him. We didn’t see any northern lights because it was cloudy but we still had a great time.”
