HASLETT, Mich., February 5, 2008— As a snowmobiler, you know that snowmobiling
is a great way to spend time with friends, enjoy the outdoors, view beautiful
scenery, and visit places you might only reach by snowmobile. Neighbors,
friends and acquaintances who don’t snowmobile would actually love to try it,
but are waiting for you to ask them.
According to a recent study by the International Snowmobile Manufacturers
Association (ISMA), 50 percent of all North American adults would like to go
snowmobiling. When outdoor enthusiasts were asked to rate their desire to go
snowmobiling on a scale of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), most showed a huge
interest, choosing the number 9.
In many ways, snowmobiling is somewhat of a mystery to much of the population.
There’s no need to stay indoors during the winter months. With 230,000 miles of
scenic, groomed and marked snowmobile trails in North America, there’s plenty
to explore from the seat of your snowmobile. Snowmobiling is a great way to
reduce tensions and release the demands of everyday life. Sharing this activity
with loved ones is a great way to have some fun, and strengthen bonds.
This winter, expand and build friendships by inviting non-snowmobilers to hit
the trails with you. Non-snowmobilers thirst for the winter family fun that
snowmobiling provides, but lack the information needed to get started. Show
these people what they’re missing, before the winter season ends.
For those interested in learning more about snowmobiling, the
www.gosnowmobiling.org Web site is an essential tool for guidance. It provides
information on how to get started in snowmobiling, dealers and renters who can
supply you with a snowmobile in your area, destinations to take your snowmobile
and more. It’s a great way for the inexperienced snowmobiler to get informed.
ISMA is an organization representing the four manufacturers of snowmobiles.
ISMA’s main function is to provide and encourage policies, programs and
activities to improve the lifestyle activity of snowmobiling throughout the
world. It maintains strong partnerships with the American Council of Snowmobile
Associations (ACSA) and the Canadian Council of Snowmobile Organizations
(CCSO/CCOM). For more information about ISMA, visit www.snowmobile.org.
