The Welcome to Winter Experience will take you from winter to Wonderland...

…in 6 Seconds! Studies have shown that six seconds is just about how long it takes to fall in love with the sport of snowmobiling. Riding a snowmobile with a group of friends or family is an exhilarating social activity that will make you look forward to every snowfall.

Trail riding is a physically engaging activity that you enjoy in the some of the most spectacular settings imaginable. These trails are close to home. And it is more fun and exercise than you will believe.

The Welcome to Winter Experience is a three part process. All participants receive a personal phone introduction to determine the participants’ interest, experience with power sports, and clothing needs. Every rider is required to pass a snowmobile course created by the State of Minnesota to assure safety and promote a great experience for all.

Your program manager councils every participant in advance of the each ride to make sure they have the most productive and enjoyable experience imaginable. During that call, the program managers get all the necessary information to pick the right sled and attire to assure riders have the best experience to enjoy the beauty of winter.

Every rider receives safety training on proper handing and riding technique for snowmobiles prior to each ride. Events are guided by trail guides who lead and follow all riders. They are in contact with each other throughout the ride to assure the pace is comfortable for everyone.

This experience introduces you to the sport of snowmobiling and teaches you what it takes to get involved on your own. We look forward to having you discover the active lifestyle and outdoor enjoyment of riding a snowmobile that awaits you, as well as having you learn about the social connections the sport of snowmobiling will bring you!
