Great Places For Snowmobiling

By Daniel Malvar

While there are many places in the world that are blanketed in snow and ice, only a few are considered great trails for snowmobile events. For die-hard snowmobilers, conquering these trails will certainly give them a different kind of high. For others, these terrains are real tests of their snowmobiling skills. And for those who live near these places, lucky them.

For those who are based far from these places, they might find themselves shelling more than dimes if they want to really hit these trails. Undeniably, the experiences these places give snowmobilers are priceless. Truth be told, these snowmobile hotspots give more than what you can imagine.

Among the best snowmobile trails in the world is located in Michigan. The state has got a lot of great stretches of snow and ice but the Keweenaw Peninsula tops them all. It is not just the trail that makes this place, the snow quality is really fine and it gives any snowmobile rider a good ride, even for the careful beginner.

The "Snowmobiling Capital of the World" is one of the most frequented places in terms of snowmobiling. West Yellowstone in Montana offers snowmobile enthusiasts more than 150 inches of fine, powder snow. Also described as the Mecca for snowmobilers, you should check this place out and experience the best snowmobile hotspot there is.

If you are thinking Idaho, the go to Stanley Basin. The place just rocks with good snow. Apart from that, you are also treated to great views of the great mountain ranges in the region - the White Clouds on the East, the Salmon River Range on the North and the uneven Sawtooths (Northern Rockies) on the West and South. If you want a long and enduring snowmobile trail, this is certainly created for you. The Stanley Basin trail runs up to 185 miles.

If you want the ultimate snowmobiling experience of a lifetime, go to Alaska. The town of Petersville treats you to trails that provide breathtaking sights - Mount McKinley/Denali, Mount Foraker, and Mount Hunter. If you are lucky enough, you might spend the evening on a snowfield watching aurora lights displaying in the skies.

There are various places where you can get a great time in terms of snowmobile trails. Worthy of mention are the Grand Lake in Colorado and the Mammoth Lakes in California. That said, it is quite unquestionable that you have to spend loads of cash in trips like these. But even if you spend a lot of money, you will find that these moments are so great they are priceless from beginning to last.
