Snow Gos

There are basically three ways of getting around Hooper Bay:
1) Airplane - that is for (obviously) long distance traveling.

2) 4-wheelers (which you saw in the first round of pictures)

3) Snow gos - as pictured below.

Slim and Meg have lived in Hooper Bay now for 15 years and just purchased their first one (well, 1/2 of one anyway). As is customary, all the youth learn how to drive these so they can get places, do errands, etc.

Sam's first experience was quite the story, but I'll save that for him to share. However, here is a picture of what they look like and how they are used.

This is the Hooper Bay Warriors high school basketball team preparing to take snow-go's and sleds over to Chevak for a tournament.  
Chevak is only 17 miles away, so they travel by trail.  For games further away, they fly by plane...
