High-altitude conditions up in the mountains may not be easy to deal with, but a proper mountain snowmobile will definitely make it easier to get through fresh snow in the backcountry. Such sleds typically have wider skis and longer tracks with deeper lugs to increase their maneuverability on the steep terrain.

When it comes to mountain snowmobile tracks, there’s a wide selection of different models varying in length, drive pitch, width, and rubber hardness. Having worked in the industry for three decades now, we have learned that, when choosing a sled and the accessories for it, your riding style and even your own weight also should be taken into account. For instance, a heavier rider will probably prefer a longer snowmobile sled, as it carries weight better than shorter ones.
