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.
