TRY ON A SNOWMOBILE
Polaris will reduce a major barrier to entry for snowmobilers and potential snowmobilers: the ability to try out the sport.
Polaris will offer free, one-hour demo rides at locations across the snowbelt during February. It offered the program in 2024 and reached capacity within weeks. Rides are geared to any experience level, offer instruction and protective gear, and guidance from experienced outfitters on 2026 machines.
There are 12 demo locations across the snowbelt in Maine, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Michigan, South Dakota, Minnesota, Oregon, Montana, Idaho and Colorado.
“ Our goal is to make winter adventure accessible and fun,” said Jenny Nack, vice president and general manager, Polaris Snow.“ We are proud to bring this program back in 2026 because it’ s all about helping people embrace the season, try something new, and create unforgettable memories on Polaris snowmobiles while exploring stunning snow-covered destinations.”
Participants must register in advance. Go to www. polaris. com / snowdemos for registration and event details.
