Ski-Doo Ambassador Dave Norona has spent years snowmobiling off the beaten trails. His experience with mountain snowmobiling accessories and gear is second-to-none. These are his top 5 must-have accessories for backcountry snowmobiling!

HOW TO KICK UP YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE BACKCOUNTRY SNOWMOBILING

Skid plate
Deep snow riders need special snowmobiling accessories to protect their machine from obstacles hidden under the snow. They also require improved grab points for pulling themselves out if they get stuck. These snowmobile must-haves include a skid plate to help protect the sled’s underbelly from rocks, stumps and posts. Dave recommends coupling this with an accessory front or rear bumper to add height for easy access in deep snow, and to improve leverage when pulling or lifting.


Toe holds
This must-have snowmobiling accessory stabilizes your feet, and keeps them on your sled while ripping through the snow.


Riser block
Riders like to adjust the handlebar height according to their ride style and size using a fixed or adjustable riser block. Ski-Doo offers several types of riser blocks to suit everyone's needs.


Deep Snow Pro Bag
Installing a handy cargo bag like the Ski-Doo Deep Snow Pro Bag makes it easy to carry extra items. It could be an extra pair of gloves, goggles, water or food—or any other must-have accessories you need. Ski-Doo offers a full line of LinQ cargo bags that fit any sled you hop on.


Deluxe Toolkit
Every vehicle needs a go-to toolkit and the Deluxe Toolkit meets all your needs. You never know when you or a riding buddy might need it!
