Yesterday the Winter X Games kicked off in Aspen, Colo. For alternative sports, this is the Olympics, if the Olympics featured guys on snowmobiles doing massive backflips. Snowmobile Freestyle competitor Colten Moore collected his second X Games gold medal yesterday, with an emotional win that he dedicated to his older brother, Caleb, who died from injuries sustained in last year's competition, the only death in the 20-year history of the X Games.

Want to try snowmobiling?

The Northwest Adventure Center at Joint Base Lewis-Mcchord has a trip planned through the Cascades Mountains Saturday, Feb 1. You won't be flying through the air upside down with one hand on the handlebars, unless something goes terribly wrong.

According to NAC, transportation, snowmobile, helmet, boots, gloves and snowsuit are provided. NAC would like you to dress in layers. And you must be 16 and older to join the fun.

If you like to get in on the trip, give them a buzz before Tuesday, Jan. 28 at 253.967.6263
