Snowmobile A snowmobile is a land vehicle that is propelled by one or two rubber tracks, with skis for steering. Snowmobiles are built to be driven on snow and ice, and require no road or trail. They are often large (over 600 pounds), powerful machines and need to be operated by a trained driver. Snowmobiles are most often used for recreation or for just plain transportation. They are, however, also used in various sports and in extreme conditions. They can achieve high speeds (some can go up to 90 miles per hour), go off jumps, and even run over water for short periods (not recommended). When riding a snowmobile safety should be your first consideration. The open air and speed of the snowmobile can be exciting, but it also can be dangerous. It is east to get thrown from a snowmobile and it also can be difficult to get snowmobile to stop, especially when on the ice. All snowmobile riders should wear a helmet, goggles, gloves, and other protective winter clothing. Frostbite can be easy to get as the high speeds and wind can cause a very cold wind chill.
