After a five-year hiatus, snowmobile competition will be returning to the X Games 2026, held Jan. 23−25 in Aspen, Colorado.

Competitive snowmobiling will feature two different disciplines, the X Games Snowmobile Speed and Style event and the Freestyle event. Speed and Style were last held in Aspen in 2018, with Brett Turcotte winning gold. The freestyle event was last held in 2021.

“ I am so blessed to hear that X Games will be bringing back snowmobiles for 2026,” says Turcotte.“ I have been waiting for this opportunity and I am more motivated than ever for the chance at another gold medal moment.”

The winter version of the X Games first included snowmobiles in 1998. Various events have been added and subtracted over the years— including Hillcross, Freestyle, Best Trick, Speed and Style, Snowbikes, Long Jump and others.

X Games Aspen 2026 will be free and open to the public during the day. Tickets will be required to access the event in the evenings and will include a variety of skiing, snowboarding and snowmobile competitions, X Fest, and live music. Early bird prices for general admission tickets will be available in the coming weeks. Visit xgames. com for more information.
