Snowmobiles

Ski-doo is known for its snowmobiles. Yellowstone National Park is known for its geysers, wildlife, and herds of tourists in the summer. When you combine them both, Ski-doo and Yellowstone delivers a real bucket-list outdoor adventure experience.

Snowmobile and bike combinations come in all different shapes and sizes, but few are as dramatic as Joey Ruiter's new Snoped (pronounced "snow-ped"). Created as a "mash-up between art, design, fashion and lifestyle," what it may lack in conventionality​, it makes up for in style.

This is either the craziest idea to hit the snow, or one of the coolest. Austrian company Mattro's Ardenner features not one, but three snowmobile-like tracks clawing into the snow and ice to provide a great deal of forward thrust. And the coolest thing: It's all electric.
