We know these four individuals will represent themselves and American Snowmobiler well in their respective race disciplines.
You can meet each of these racers in American Snowmobiler magazine’s January issue and follow them on AmSnow.com all season long. We’re looking forward to a fantastic race season with this crew. Without further ado, let us introduce Team AmSnow!
