Snowmobile Images Capture The Beauty Of The Sport

June 17, 2025 By John Prusak

Riding a snowmobile on a beautiful winter day or night can be one of the most visually pleasing things a true enthusiast can encounter. And, when something goes a little bit awry, snowmobiling pictures can also be some of the most hilarious images around!

With that in mind, Snow Goer magazine launched the What’s Hot/What’s Not department way back in 1990. For 35 years, we’ve been using reader-submitted photos to highly the beauty and the buffoonery of this great sport of ours.

The images below were published in the November 2022 issue of the magazine. If you have snowmobiling photos you would like to share – whether you’d deem them “Hot” or “Not” – submit them to jprusak@snowgoer.com.

Please limit submissions to two photos, and include your name and hometown with the submission. Send the photo as an attachment, and note that low resolution images won’t reprint well in magazines — so only send us your best! Again, limit two submission per person, please. That email address is jprusak@snowgoer.com.
