Off-trail snowmobiling is a wonderful way to get yourself outside and active during the winter months. The beneficial aspect about the sport is that you have freedom to go just about wherever you want. As fun as snowmobiling is, off-trail riding is not recommended for novices due to the skilled maneuvering needed to drive the snowmobile. Riding groomed trails and getting the feel for the sport on packed areas is strongly recommended for people starting out and only when you feel comfortable riding trails should you then attempt to go "off-trail."
