The average age of a snowmobiler was 45 years of age.
Approximately 84% of snowmobilers are males and 16% female.

Snowmobiling contributed $9.3 Billion in economic activity across Canada.
Snowmobiling generated over $30 Billion in economic activity across North America.

Nice.  Thank you for sharing. 

Has something been produced for ATV (side x side, sport, utility...) use? Would be interesting to see the comparison.   Expectation is this is growing 

Is it still?  Or has it plateaued?  A lot more competition for the powersports dollars in the summer.  I can choose from boating, jetski's, motorcycles / trikes and atv / side by side.  Definately a larger market being all of North America vs just the north though.  The sport is definately changing with the shift from ATV's to side by sides.  I'd be interested to see if there really is growth there still though.  Probably is dollar wise due to the price of the larger units.  I'd question if unit volume is keeping pace.  I personally don't see as many atv - side by side units locally in the summer as you see sleds in the winter.

I still have money, as in Canadian, left from last year. David has a Canadian friend he does work for and  is getting paid with  Canadian funds.  Does that tell you what our plans are.

I got over the border with a few hours to spare in late March, my last stop was at the bank to get a good exchange rate for next season, my sleds are already in the trailer, hope it is headed North and not West!!
