INDUSTRY NEWS
Now, every single vehicle in a ski area’s fleet can be given a
unique name, specific to the area. For example, one vehicle
may be called, “Pistenbully 23,” and another, “Betty.” This is
a huge benefit for technicians in workshops. With the new
search function, data can be pulled quickly for any vehicle
in a fleet.
To sign up for SNOWsat Maintain Basic, contact a local
service partner to set up an account and get started.

Take a Friend Snowmobiling
The Go Snowmobiling/Take a Friend Snowmobiling
campaign has been supported by the snowmobile
community over the years. Snowmobile clubs and
associations across North America have taken military
personnel snowmobiling, coordinated enlightenment rides
with land managers and often just have fun organizing
snowmobile rides with friends and family. The trails and
riding areas in many parts of North America are amazing
and offer great opportunities to take friends snowmobiling.
The Take a Friend Snowmobiling rides highlight the “wow-factor”
and the pure enjoyment that people have then they
first ride a snowmobile. First-time snowmobilers can’t quit
talking about how much fun the ride was. When taking a
friend snowmobiling, remember this may very well be their
first time on a snowmobile. Chances are that a ‘normal’
ride would seem like a marathon to an uninitiated friend.
Let friends enjoy that first day of snowmobiling. Again,
enjoy the ride, make it relatively short, make it simple and
remember that it is always a good idea to feed guests.
The Go Snowmobiling/Take a Friend Snowmobiling
campaign is also joined with the Safe Riders! Campaign.
The International Snowmobile Manufacturers
Association (ISMA) has a 13 chapter Safe Riders!
video series that can be found on its website at
www.snowmobile.org/snowmobile-videos.html. The
chapters are a great tool when introducing a friend to
snowmobiling and will help make the ride more enjoyable
for everyone.
Be sure to visit and like the ISMA Facebook page before
participating in the Go Snowmobiling campaign at
www.facebook.com/GoSnowmobiling. ISMA has thousands
of friends who post pictures of their experiences or infor-mation
to snowmobile enthusiasts worldwide. Please con-sider
completing the short general survey when visiting the
Facebook page. ISMA is constantly surveying snowmobile
customers to see how they can better serve the community.
Go out and have fun, take a friend snowmobiling and
enjoy winter. The “Take a Friend Snowmobiling Campaign
Action Manual” can be found at www.snowmobile.org/
docs/2021-take-a-friend-snowmobiling.pdf. Review it and
share it with others.
