Written by David Glassman

Even though it might not seem like it, snow season isn't far away! If you want to be ready for the colder weather it's time to visit your local snowmobile dealer and check out the options. Here are three of the best ones to consider, so you can make your choice before the snow starts to fall.

Polaris 600 Indy XC 129

The best thing about this Polaris snowmobile is all the great features it has to offer. The Rider Balanced® Control provides the opportunity to corner flats with ease and safety. Additionally, the AXYS® Chassis helps to reinforce the control and balance the rider has. This Polaris model offers a lighter front end to make climbing easier, and a centralized vehicle mass that makes flatter cornering better and easier.

The Pro-CC™ Rear Suspension gives a consistently smooth ride and good handling, while offering the industry's best acceleration. If you like to play on trails, you'll love this snowmobile. The front torque arm is calibrated for compliance on the trails, without the fear of bottoming out. The Walker Evans® shocks are race-tested and race-prov

en, so you can get a great ride and plenty of performance. Trail versatility is a big part of this snowmobile, and the integrated storage options give you great places to stash all your stuff. All the Indy® 129 models have standard storage, with an underseat storage bag offering 1,024 cubic inches of weather-proof space.

Comfortable seats give you the option to ride solo or two-up with the FT2 accessory passenger seat. It's easy to install the two-up seat, and you don't need to make suspension adjustments for it. The heated passenger grips are standard with the seat, and they connect to the sled easily. There are plenty of other rider-centric features, as well, including PowerTrac® TR running boards and an optimized design to minimize kick-up from the snow. There's plenty of strength to this vehicle, but it's light and easy to maneuver.

Ski-Doo Summit X 850 E-TEC 165 with Expert Package

This Ski-Doo snowmobile offers you great power from the ROTAX 850 E-TEC engine. It's the most powerful two-stroke engine in the industry, so you can count on it to move your snowmobile down the trail properly. The engine offers 165HP, and the responsiveness of instant acceleration. The Ski-Doo is built to handle deep snow, and its lower seat height and shorter riser give it a lower center of gravity that protects it from tipping over. The smooth, confident ride is enhanced by the smaller diameter handlebars and low handlebar strap.

Kashima coated shocks mean added durability, along with consistent cushioning through each and every bump on the trails or the hills. This snowmobile also offers a revised ski spindle and ski stopper, so you can get more predictable handling on steep sidehills and rougher terrain. The Ski-Doo's extreme mass centralization on its 4th generation REV platform is improved by the new heat exchanger design, new die-cast aluminum front suspension module, and pyramidal frame. Combining all that makes the snowmobile strong yet lightweight.

Yamaha Sidewinder SRX LE

The excellent handling and suspension options of this snowmobile make it a top choice for trails and other areas this winter. Its FOX® Zero iQS Shock Package gives you electronic, on-the-fly suspension that can be adjusted with a left-hand mounted switch on the handlebars. You'll also get Advanced Roll Center Suspension (ARCS) front suspension, with will optimize the function and increase the ground clearance for more predictable and consistent handling. Low Profile SRX 137 suspension offers special calibration with dual-rate front shock springs and low-preload rear torsion springs.

The lower profile helps to enhance speed and performance, and keep the sled level in the corners. That helps resist harsh bottoming, and the controlled acceleration makes for smoother travel. The Yamaha's 998cc Genesis Turbo four-stroke engine delivers incredible power, and it's a trusted and reliable choice from a company dedicated to uncompromised performance. The heated trail seat offers you warmth and comfort, and the 20" tunnel bag is water-resistant and provides convenient storage under the seat.
