Terrain can be quite varied – one of the biggest rewards of snowmobiling. On a groomed snowmobile trail the terrain is generally a smooth path that can go across flat areas or traverse up and down gentle hills. By virtue of being groomed, the path is generally packed and cleared but there can still be hazards to look for like sticks, rocks, ice chunks and terrain irregularities. A snowmobile trail is not a perfect surface like a paved road, it’s always changing so one must always be prepared and alert.
