Quad Biking on snow is very different to quad biking on any
other terrain, with the back wheels sliding out and your front ones not
always making you go in the direction that you point them. Quad Biking on
snow is an exhilarating and fun activity that anyone who has driven quad
bikes or has an interest in must have a go at taking part in.
