Snowmobiles are a type of vehicle we don’t cover much at Gear Patrol. That’s not because of any slight against them, however. In the cold, winter months, when the white stuff runs deep and the thought of climbing aboard a motorcycle or dirt bike seems like insanity, “snow machines” (as many a rider calls them) offer a way to escape civilization and travel off to parts unknown, to see those cold, remote places that feel so removed from humanity as to come from another time. (Or, simply, to blast along at a mile a minute with your buddies.)
They’re very much in our wheelhouse, and likely the sort of machine you’ve fantasized about taking for a spin, as we have. It’s just that the opportunities are likely few and far between. So when the chance came in from the folks at Ski-Doo to pop out to West Yellowstone, Montana to test out some of their newest snow machines in their native element, well, your humble writer felt obliged to give it a try…even though he’d only ridden snowmobiles a handful of times in the past.
