This winter has been incredibly difficult for most people in North America. The polar vertex has us in it's grips now for weeks and it doesn't look like it is giving in too soon. Snow has been bountiful this winter and the resorts have been overflowing with skiers and snowboarders. There are some winter spectator events if you can brave the winter elements. In this weeks updates we have the testosterone filled snocross racers and the truly crazy ice racers. First up is the snocross races featuring the professional snowmobile racers on a closed track. This is similar to motocross racing with straight sections, curves and big jumps. To see the big air go to the SnoCross gallery. Second up are the 1/2 crazy or full crazy individuals who race on an ice track. Here you will a variety of vehicles on the ice track; snowmobiles, ATV's and the ice bikes. The ice racers are in this gallery.
