Well as many know, nothings compares to riding a quad in the snow.

Tell what you wear and anything you do to prepare for riding in the winter.

well riding a bike in the summer is better, but yes riding quads in the winter is, super happy fun! i don't know if you have to do anything special, just warm it up longer.

Yep, I have done the kneeboard thing before, we have also used a snowboard, lots of fun.

But I will have to say it works better behind a snowmobile.

I usually dont ride when it snows (which barely happens anyway). If its chilly out I will wear a long sleeve shirt and fleece under my jersey, and I will also wear cold weather riding gloves.

Last winter, we used a tube* behind my snowmobile...So much fun....That is until it poped.

*The tube was a real water tube you would pull behind a boat, not a snowtube.

This winter I wanna do two tubes at once.

We just dress warm and head for the dunes. It can be a challenge sometimes.
