how are you going to talk all this crap and you don't even know what happened to this girl. you are a women yourself how can you say that about women. I have drove a snowmobile a few time and I have never got hurt. So shout your mouth and have some consideration for her and her family.

Whats wrong with Michelle, she seems to be up tight on something. May be she lost her boyfriend in a snowmobile accident or she was thrown from on like this passenger was. If you see two names it is her. She is depressed and needs a man to love and care for her. Is there anyone young and with a long nose well built and heavy weight whom I am sure Michelle will be so happy to be with. Instead of preaching pray for this family who is hurt and needs more comments of REV and Bros of the Catholic chu

Calm down people. "Michelle Calson" is a troll. Every single forum on this site has a comment, from someone who is using different names and titles. I have complained and complained, but WSBT keeps printing them. If you see a comment from a first and last name, or pastor this or father that, don't read them. I don't anymore. And above all, please don't lower yourselves to give them the satisfaction of an answer. That's what they're trying to do. Get everyone stirred up.

Hi Michelle I am a family member of this girl for one u dont know the whole story they were not drinking and she was not driving. she fell off the back and the snowmobile fallowing didnt see her and ran her over. I think that if u dont actually know what happened wich it seems like u dont know anything about the situation u should've kept you smart remarks to yourself. for everyone else that really cares THANK U and just to let u know she will be ok and please keep her in your prayers.

It sounds to me like Michelle was the one drinking when she wrote her comment. Frozen lake? What are you talking about. I am a snowmobiler and can drive one very well thank you. O and Michelle i think you need to read the article a little better. It says she was a passanger.

I think you michelle should keep your coments to yourself and have consideration for this girl and her family . How do you know they were drinking and who she was with.Just because your a drunk doesn't mean everyone is.

I'm interested to know which "trail" these kids were on. NO trails have opened yet. And Michelle... as a snowmobiler for many years, a member of 3 area snowmobile clubs, and a FEMALE I am offended by your comments. How dare you assume that girls don't know how to drive a sled! Most of us are better than the guys (LOL)!!

I'm having a difficult time intrepreting what Michelle has written. It is sad when Americans can neither write or speak legibly.

This drunks and their girlfrieds are taking over the snowmobile tracks and now they also are having accidents. The boyfriends change seats and the girl takes over and does not know what to do when the snowmobile spins like a crazy nut in the middle of a frozen lake. Can someone teach them how to avoid holes in the middle of the lake even in tracks that has been used by other people they are treacherous if you dont know how to drive this mobiles. A refresher course is needed for all this girls.
