HASLETT, MI--(Marketwire - January 14, 2008) - If you've ridden a snowmobile, you've probably
already discovered that snowmobiling is the perfect activity to enjoy the
winter months with family and friends. For those who haven't tried
snowmobiling before, it's time to test drive one and determine if
snowmobiling is right for you. You'll learn that operating a snowmobile is
less difficult than you may think.
Renting a snowmobile is a great way to establish your comfort and skill
level. There are numerous rental agencies throughout the United States
conveniently located near groomed trails that can provide you with the best
snowmobile equipment and give you a taste of the snowmobiling lifestyle. In
fact, many of North America's 230,000 groomed and marked trails are near
rental agencies.
To purchase a snowmobile, visit a dealer for information. There are 1,840
licensed snowmobile dealers in the United States who can help you decide
which snowmobile is best for you, based on your planned usage and within
your price range. Snowmobiles start at $2,000 in price for a used model and
$6,000 for a new one. The classified sections in the newspaper are also
great places to start looking for used snowmobiles. 3 million U.S. families
enjoy snowmobiling each winter.
For those interested in learning more about snowmobiling, the
www.gosnowmobiling.org Web site is an essential tool for guidance. It
provides information on how to get started in snowmobiling, dealers and
renters who can supply you with a snowmobile in your area, destinations to

snowmobiler to get informed. A free e-newsletter is also available to sign
up for through the Web site.
