Are you in the market for your first snowmobile? If so, you came to the right place! Here at Yellowstone Adventures, we carry a wide selection of snowmobiles for riders of all experience levels. If you are new to riding a snowmobile, the following tips can help you choose the perfect entry-level sled for your needs. When you’re ready to check out some snowmobiles in person, come visit our dealership in West Yellowstone, MT! We look forward to serving you.
Size
Snowmobiles come in many different shapes and sizes, depending on their intended use. For example, mountain sleds tend to be long and narrow, while utility sleds have a wider stance. As a new rider, you should look for a snowmobile that is on the smaller side. The smaller and lighter the sled, the easier it will be to control.
Power Level
Sure, you might be tempted to reach for the most powerful snowmobile you can afford, but everyone has to start somewhere! When you are first learning to ride a snowmobile, you should stick with a low-powered model, under 600 ccs. You can always upgrade to a more advanced model once you have some practice under your belt.
Price
Last but not least, let’s talk about the cost of a snowmobile. If you want to save some cash on your first sled, we recommend buying used. This is a great way to experiment with a new hobby without breaking the bank! Of course, buying used also means you can expect a better return on your investment when it’s time for an upgrade.
If you need more advice on choosing a snowmobile, you are always welcome to consult the team here at Yellowstone Adventures! We have plenty of new and used snowmobiles to choose from. You can find us in West Yellowstone, MT, near Yellowstone Park and Big Sky Resort.
