Ever wonder what goes into keeping a fleet of snowmobiles running smoothly at 12,000 feet? Here's a look behind the scenes at how we maintain our machines—and what you should know if you're considering buying your own sled.
Daily Checks
Before every tour, our mechanics perform:
- Fuel level and quality check
- Oil level verification
- Track tension inspection
- Ski alignment check
- Throttle and brake operation
- Lights and safety equipment
Track Maintenance
The track is the snowmobile's most critical component for performance:
- Proper tension prevents wear
- Damaged lugs reduce traction
- Track alignment affects handling
- We replace tracks before they fail
Engine Care at Altitude
High altitude operation requires special attention:
- Thinner air affects fuel mixture
- Our machines are altitude-tuned
- Fuel-injected models adapt automatically
- Carbureted machines need jet changes
Suspension and Skis
Smooth riding depends on suspension health:
- Shock absorbers checked regularly
- Ski wear carbides replaced as needed
- A-arm bushings inspected
- Springs adjusted for load
Pre-Season Preparation
Each fall, every machine receives:
- Complete fluid changes
- Belt inspection and replacement
- Clutch calibration
- Electrical system check
- Full safety inspection
Why It Matters for Your Tour
Our maintenance program means:
- Reliable machines that start every time
- Optimal performance at altitude
- Reduced breakdown risk
- Smoother, safer rides
- More time riding, less time waiting
For Private Owners
If you own a snowmobile, keep these tips in mind:
- Follow manufacturer maintenance schedules
- Store with fuel stabilizer
- Check track tension regularly
- Never skip pre-ride checks
- Address issues before they worsen
