The all new ready to cut-out and assemble paper snowmobile model is here for free distribution and use. Introduced at shows in North America, this snowmobile cut-out paper model was originally created for children at the shows and safety training programs held throughout North America. It was discovered that not only children and young snowmobilers enjoy printing and assembling the paper snowmobile, but adults of all ages jumped into the mix and participated in snowmobile contests at shows. http://www.snowmobile.org/pr_11_2012_sales-outperform-economy.asp Recreational spending and outdoor activities are much bigger economic drivers than most people realize.

Communication amongst snowmobilers has changed forever and it appears the evolution will continue. The manufacturers and many in the industry are now active on the Internet with active websites, Facebook, and Twitter. The technology makes the passing of news and information more participatory and more social. This is having a profound effect on our society. As an industry, we will be able to take advantage of this emerging technology in communicating trail conditions, riding conditions, avalanche bulletins, weather forecasts, road conditions, and snow conditions, meeting notices and more. http://www.snowmobile.org/pr_9_2011_economic_benefits.asp The snowmobile community generates over 28 billion dollars in economic activity in North America.
