International Snowmobile Ride Day Taking Place February 14

The International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (ISMA) is celebrating International Snowmobile Ride Day on Saturday, February 14th, 2026. Held annually on the second Saturday in February, this year’s Ride Day is extra special as it coincides with Valentine’s Day – giving snowmobilers the perfect opportunity to spend the day with someone they love and enjoy the sport they love.

ISMA encourages snowmobilers everywhere to get out on the trails, share the experience with friends and family, and enjoy the health and wellness benefits of spending time outdoors during the winter. Snowmobiling not only connects riders with nature – it also supports small businesses and communities throughout the North American Snowbelt, many of which rely on the economic boost snowmobilers bring during the winter season.

This year’s event takes place during Take A Friend Snowmobiling Week (February 7 16, 2026), an initiative that invites riders to introduce non-snowmobiling friends to the sport and show them firsthand how fun, accessible and community-driven snowmobiling can be.

As part of the ISMA grant program, 19 snowmobile clubs across North America have received funding to host a ride or special event this Saturday. If you live near one of these clubs, you should join their activity – or connect with your local club to plan your own ride for the weekend. Getting involved with your local snowmobile club is one of the best ways to meet fellow riders, explore new trails and support snowmobiling in your region.
