00:00:08.520 --> 00:00:12.283
>> I've been patrolling Wellesley Island for three years now in a snowmobile.

00:00:12.283 --> 00:00:16.416
Last year I went to a Border Patrol instructor training course in Montana.

00:00:16.416 --> 00:00:20.211
And it gave me a whole new outlook on snowmobiles.

00:00:20.211 --> 00:00:23.420
It really allowed me to push my limits on snowmobiles,

00:00:23.420 --> 00:00:26.012
see what they can and cannot do.

00:00:26.012 --> 00:00:28.911
With the training in Montana, they have mountains.

00:00:28.911 --> 00:00:32.798
They have a few more hazards as far as avalanches

00:00:32.798 --> 00:00:36.100
and really being stuck in the deep ten foot of snow.

00:00:36.100 --> 00:00:38.291
When I came back here, I was able to use

00:00:38.291 --> 00:00:41.068
some of the skills and techniques that I learned there

00:00:41.068 --> 00:00:43.259
as far as riding in deep powder

00:00:43.259 --> 00:00:47.143
and it's allowed me to be more proficient on a snowmobile.
