KIDS, KIDS, KIDS.......... HAHAHAHA, AT IT AGAIN......... YOU BOTH NEED TO GRAB YOUR SLEDS AND HEAD TO THE HILLS AND DUKE 'ER OUT, ONCE AND FOR ALL ;) THESE NUMBERS ARE INTERESTING, AND SOME GOOD STATS IN HERE:
  1. There are four major manufacturers that build snowmobiles. They are: Arctic Cat—headquartered in Plymouth, MN; BRP—headquartered in Valcourt, Quebec; Polaris Industries—headquartered in Medina, MN; and Yamaha Motor Corporation—headquartered in Cypress, CA.
  2. In 2013 there were 144,601 snowmobiles sold worldwide; 48,536 were sold in the U.S. and 44,022 were sold in Canada.
  3. There are 1.4 million registered snowmobiles in the US and 590,677 registered snowmobiles in Canada.

  1. The Economic Impact of Snowmobiling:
  2. United States—$26 billion annually


  • Canada—$8 billion annually
  • Europe & Russia—$5 billion annually

  1. Over 100,000 full time jobs are generated by the snowmobile industry in North America. Those jobs are involved in manufacturing, dealerships and tourism related businesses.
  2. The average age of a snowmobiler is 43 years old.
  3. The average annual household income for snowmobilers is $68,000.
  4. The average snowmobiler rides their snowmobile 1206 miles (2241 km) per year in North America.
  5. 53% of the snowmobilers usually trailer their snowmobiles to go riding. 47% either snowmobile from their primary residence or have a vacation home where they keep and use their snowmobiles.
  6. Snowmobilers are caring neighbors, they raised over $3 million for charity during the 2012-2013 season.
  7. There are over 225,000 miles of groomed and marked snowmobile trails in North America that have been developed by volunteer clubs working with local government and private land owners.
  8. There are over 3000 snowmobile clubs worldwide, involved in trail grooming and charity fund raising and family activities.
  9. There are over 42 registered non-profit associations representing snowmobilers in the U.S., Canada and Scandinavia.
  10. Snowmobiling is great exercise that brings people outdoors to interact with nature and each other. It is an invigorating sport that is great for stress release and good mental health.
  11. Snowmobiling is a great family lifestyle. It is an activity that keeps parents and kids together. Historically individuals who snowmobile at a young age continue to snowmobile with their parents throughout their lives, sharing great experiences as a family. In many winter regions, snowmobiling is simply the main form of winter outdoor recreation and in some cases the main method of transportation available.
  12. The use of snowmobiles in National Parks is regulated by Federal Law Enforcement. The snowmobiling occurs on roads groomed and marked for snowmobiling, the same roadways used by recreational vehicles, cars, trucks and busses. Snowmobiles are NOT used as off-road vehicles in National Parks such as Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain and Grand Teton.
  13. On U.S. National Forest Land, most of the trails used by snowmobiles are on groomed roads used by summer recreationists. There are also secondary and seasonal roads within the forests used by snowmobilers. These roads are groomed and marked by volunteers who work closely with the local U.S. Forest Service staff in maintaining and managing those areas.
  14. The manufacturers have always been actively involved in promoting safe riding behavior while snowmobiling. Over one million safety related brochures, decals and hundreds of thousands of posters and safety videos have been distributed free of charge to safety trainers, enforcement officers, Travel Bureaus, Chambers of Commerce, Convention and Visitor Bureaus, and snowmobile enthusiasts throughout the world.
  15. State/Provincial snowmobile registrations for 2012-2013 season were as follows:

But you gotta somehow get those big fat chubby side panels through there, maybe grease em. LOL. Stand back and look straight at your XM from the front, no wonder you need the gimmicks, its basically a triangle shape with the bottom being equal to each side. take a triangle set it flat , now lean it over. Hmmmm. Cat is a bit guilty of the same, now do same with a Pro. If you leave your Doo glasses and jammies on you may not see it, but take em off, just once for a test, itll be obvious why the handling of the Pro is so much easier and predictable.
Oh and for the Doo boys getting their typing fingers ready, I checked, i still have a sack, I have ridden a bit before today, I'm still not gay, and I know Polaris has issues also. . (just saving you Doo Tards some time. )
