Oh yes, it isn't really hard other than learning to walk bow-legged! And learning to roll when you trip over a "Snow snake," It just sucks when the folks in front do not know how to break trail and your sled has a disassembled TOW missile system on it along with our 2nd rucksacks, so the sled becomes very top heavy and falls against every tree it comes near on the up slope.

You are quite lucky to be alive! Most of the Moose fatalities up in the US Northeast (Averaging 6 per year in multiple states,) are when the moose comes through the windshield and crunches the driver or front seat passenger. your airbags won't stop a moose.
Wife hit one about 12 years ago less than 5 miles from the house at 25mph, maybe 40KPH, caved in the windshield, rolled off the hood and walked away. Wife had to stick her head out the side window to see coming home.
