Why the Sledding Community is the Best Part of the Ride

Why the Sledding Community Makes Snowmobiling Better Than Ever

Sledding is more than just the horsepower and fresh powder, it's the people and community that keep riders coming back to the snow. 

What Makes the Snowmobiling Community So Special?

Our Martin Motor Sports and Ski-Doo & Lynx ambassadors have so many favorite things about sledding, and their love for it goes way beyond just the machines. 

• A fellow sledder is always willing to help out. You can know that someone's got your back, and in turn you're ready to help out next time you see someone stuck!
• Jacob Heimstra, MMS x Ski-Doo Ambassador, loves "how every time you're out...it's completely different. The snow is constantly changing. The features change".
• You're going to remote and beautiful places. No one else is seeing what you'll see. "Helicopters, snowmobiles. That's it" 

Why Community Matters in Snowmobiling

 You'll quickly learn with sledding that it's more enjoyable and safer with a group! 

• Safety in numbers
• Locals help newcomers
• Shared knowledge of trails
• Avalanche awareness and safety, grooming, and trail maintenance

The Views Are Better Together

Western Canada is home to some of the most gorgeous views anywhere. With sledding you gain access to not only beautiful scenery, but also an incredibly fun family-friendly activity. MMS Dealer Ambassador Curtis Pawliuk wants people to understand "just how special and unique [this sport] is. Very few people actually get to go to the places that we go. You can get here on two feet and a heartbeat, but man, you're not seeing what we see with these snowmobiles." No matter where you're from, the mountains welcome you!

"No matter where you're from, your background, you've got to get out and you've got to try this!"
