That is probably true about a regular Joe unless he is out of beer and forced to hike to the nearest store! I must have missed your comment saying that the snow mobiles are just for fun.
I watch a program on tv sometimes about people in Alaska and the Artic circle and the only means of transportation is the snow mobile and they pull a sled behind it to haul firewood and all kinds of supplies.
