Buying the Perfect Snowmobile for You

Do you want to try snowmobiling but aren't sure where to start? With so many options, the novice rider can easily be confused. To help you get the best snowmobile that suits your needs, we need to first establish what the different types of snowmobiles are designed to do. Read on to learn about the popular types of snowmobiles!

Trail Riding Machines

These big snowmobiles are heavier than deep-powder machines and are ideally suited for groomed trail systems. They're available with up to two seats. It’s generally not advisable to use them off the trail because they tend to get bound up and stuck in the snow.

Deep-Powder Sleds

The tracks on these machines are longer than on trail-riding sleds so they float better on top of the snow. Most deep-powder performance sleds are agile and high-performing. Keep in mind that they can overheat on groomed trail applications.

Crossovers

These snowmobiles combine the best of both the trail-riding machines and the deep-powder performers. They provide a comfortable ride suitable for a variety of terrain from groomed trails to off-trail experiences. These are a good choice if you think you'll spend a lot of time on the trail but want the freedom to get off into the wild from time to time.

Hill climbers 

The skis on these snowmobiles are wider and the tracks are stiffer. They're designed for people who want to climb up the mountain.
