More than 2 million people of all ages enjoy snowmobiling in North America alone. The average snowmobile weighs more than 600 pounds and can travel at speeds over 90 miles an hour. This can make snowmobiling a dangerous sport. However, it is not required to take a snowmobile safety class in most states. A rider usually only needs a valid driver’s license to rip through the snow at whatever speed they want on that shiny new mobile.
