Now, this is something new to me. Never heard of it. Apparently there are some folks using snowmobiles to try and skip over water at high speeds in a snowmobile, sort of like skipping a rock over water. This time it didn’t work, the machine quit in midstream and sunk. The driver could not swim out and drowned. Please click on the adn.com link below to read the entire story.
