Topic: Snowmobile


  
  Snowmobile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A snowmobile (or snow scooter, often referred to by enthusiasts as a 'sled' and in the Canadian north and Alaska as a 'snowmachine') is a land vehicle propelled by one rubber track with ski(s) for steering.
Many of the snowmobile companies were small outfits and the biggest manufacturers were often attempts by motorcycle makers and outboard motor makers to branch off in a new market.
Snowmobiles are widely used in arctic territories for travel.

 Economic Evaluation
To estimate the level of snowmobiling expenditures in Maine for the 1997-98 season, the expenditures per snowmobile from the 1995-96 study were multiplied by the number of snowmobiles registered in Maine by residents and non-residents during the 1997-98 season.
Therefore, the expenditures of snowmobilers for trip-related expenses, maintenance, repairs and clothing were increased by 4.66 percent to account for the inflation that occurred between the two time periods.
Although the number of new snowmobiles sold in Maine was slightly lower in 1997-98 than in 1995-96, the increase in the average price of the new snowmobiles and an active market for used snowmobiles resulted in an increase in expenditures of about $1 1 million over the two-year period.
