On the trails with Rural Cass Snowmobile Club

Each snowmobile manufacturer has specific information on each of their models. Please contact the manufacturers through their web sites, or contact your local snowmobile dealer listed in the yellowpages of your local phone book.

No, snowmobiles serve many other functions. In remote portions of Canada and the U.S., snowmobiles are some residents’ primary mode of transportation. Snowmobiles are relied upon by law enforcement units throughout the snowbelt for search-and-rescue work and emergency missions. They are also used by surveyors, ranchers, public utility employees, environmental and wildlife scientists, and countless others. Snowmobiles are also widely used by cross country ski race officials, dog sled races and by ski patrols for rescue purposes.
