A snowmobile (or
skidoo or snow scooter, often referred to by enthusiasts as a
'sled' and in the Canadian north and Alaska as a 'snowmachine')
is a land vehicle propelled by one rubber track with ski(s)
for steering. They are designed to be operated on snow and
ice, and require no road or trail. Most snowmobiles are
typically powered by two-stroke gasoline/petrol internal
combustion engines. Four-stroke engines are becoming more and
more popular in snowmobiles. Summertime occupations for
snowmobile enthusiasts can also involve drag racing on grass
or even asphalt strips. People who ride them commonly are
known as snowmobilers. The three main types of riding are
Motocross/racing, trail riding and mountain riding.
