Snowmobiling is the sport of skating on ice tracks.

The most ideal weather for this sport is a sunny day at or below 0°C.

Coxed sledding originated in Switzerland and was developed from coxless sledding.

Initially, a boy named Bob in St. Moritz improvised by putting two rudderless sleds together in front of and behind each other and speeding down the hill. This innovation immediately aroused the interest of onlookers.

In 1888, a mechanic named Mattis of St. Moritz built a long wooden frame sled with a steering wheel.

The sled was then called a juddered sled.

Matisse's sled was exhibited and immediately gained popularity. Snowmobiling became an important activity for tourists in St. Moritz. In the first Winter Olympics in 1924, it was already a competition event.

In addition to top-level racing, snowmobiles are also used in life. In some areas, snowmobiles have really become a means of transportation, such as line checking, ambulance, transportation, etc.

The second half of the 20th century saw the rise of recreational snowmobiling.

Recreational riding is known as cross-country skiing and track riding.

In the summer, snowmobiles could be dragged raced on grass, tarmac, or even on water.

Sometimes snowmobiles are modified to compete in long-distance cross-country races.

Snowmobiles have no enclosure other than a windshield, and their engines are usually running continuously in the rear. A ski at the front provides directional control.

The average speed of a snowmobile is around 100 kilometers per hour, with a maximum of 160 kilometers per hour.

The high speed of a snowmobile is the biggest attraction of a snowmobile, as it can fly through the snow and ice and turn and shuttle flexibly and freely.

There are some similarities between driving a snowmobile and an ordinary motorcycle, such as the left and right handles to control the brake and throttle respectively, and the steering wheel needs to be turned.

But what is more important to note is that snowmobiles also have some of their own operating logic.

Such as the left and right handles to control the brake and throttle respectively, and the steering wheel needs to be turned.

To ensure the safety of drivers, snowmobiles are designed to be wider and have a lower center of gravity, which can more effectively reduce the risk of vehicle rollover.

Don't think that you don't need a driver's license to get started immediately.

In fact, in a strict sense, snowmobiling is not an amusement project, but a sport, so preliminary preparation training is essential.

In some jurisdictions, a driver's license is required to drive a snowmobile. In Norway and Sweden, for example, a specific snowmobile driver's license is required. In Finland, a snowmobile license is not required if the driver already has an appropriate license for another type of vehicle (such as a car or tractor).
