This staff is really something! One of our regular test riders is 20-something, several are 30-something, another is 40-something, I’m 50-something, and two others are 60-something. Our Art Director (no age given here for safety reasons) also is a heck of a rider and gives us the woman’s perspective.

We span, both the ages, and the experience levels and that gives us a great deal of balance when we test, compare, ride and write for you. Yet no matter our age we all share an enthusiasm for our sport and for the great sleds that make snowmobiling such a thrill.

Our annual Buyers Guide is all about those machines, and finding the right one for you. So study our charts and “Best Of” choices, read our long-term and comparison tests before you make your choice, if not this year, then certainly next! Right?

One more thing, thanks for reading AmSnow!
