Yes, you will have to head up to Kashmir or some equally snowy place like that to do it but we believe most would want to boast of having ridden a snowmobile in India. While you’re making plans to go get hooked on this adventure sport, we thought it would be nice if we told you a little about the various kinds of snowmobiles.

If you did not know that there is more than one kind of snowmobile, then we are going to tell you more about the five varieties that companies like Polaris manufacture:

Working snowmobile- While mostly snowmobiles in India are used for recreational purposes, sometimes they serve the purpose of transporting the injured off skiing slopes; helping expedition teams reach their base camps or even used as daily commute by those who live on these slopes.
They work in heavy snowfall or situations where the trek is too icy. To utilize in such conditions, a working snowmobile has longer, wider and a heavier frame which comes handy in maneuvering such terrains.

Trail snowmobiles- These are expressly used for recreational purposes because they suit new riders very well. It has an easy and light weight mechanism and frame which makes it much less cumbersome to handle.

It is the beginner’s level ride for this adventure sport and glides easily along the slopes. It also accelerates much faster and is the best of the lot when it comes to comfort.

Touring snowmobiles- While Polaris provides both snowmobiles in India as well as Polaris snowmobile parts, there is another variant of these rides that may be known to experienced riders. These are called touring snowmobiles and are meant for covering long distances by two people.
This has to be one of the premium kinds of snowmobiles with some brands coming up with heated seats, safety indicators, mirrors etc for convenience in a long journey. They might even come equipped with high-tech communication systems and are heavy set as well as sturdy considering the purpose there is to tour.

Mountain snowmobiles- Now, this kind is expressly used on mountainous terrains and performs best in higher altitudes. This is for the adrenaline junkie in you who would like to climb vertical heights and conquer dangerous slopes.

They maneuver best on vertical limits and weigh less as opposed to a touring snowmobile. This variant comes with high horsepower.
