Snow: what some see as a burden, others see as an opportunity for fun. Nicely powdered trails aren't just for snowboarders and skiers, as snowmobile enthusiasts take to the trails as well.

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, snowmobiles can weigh in excess of 600 pounds and travel at speeds exceeding 90 miles per hour. Each year snowmobile accidents produce approximately 200 deaths and 14,000 injuries, says the NCBI.
“Many snowmobile accidents are a result of a lack of safety knowledge,” says Kevin Henry, senior product manager for snowmobile insurer Foremost Insurance Group.
