The Lazareth Snowtrack Snowmobile with Tracks Concept is Ludovic Lazareth's way of redefining winter speed. By adding two driven tracks to the front of a snowmobile, replacing the traditional skis, the Lazareth Snowtrack will have additional traction under acceleration, which will increase cornering speeds, eliminate slides and make it possible to get on the power earlier. Well, that's what they think anyway...

Snowmobiling is a very dynamic sport with many different styles of riding. Some like to ride single file down a groomed trail to the nearest cabin to trade stories and warm their digits. Others can only be found in the openness that riding above the tree-line brings, with flowing fields and wide open climbs to test man and machine. There is, however, a special place that brings out the best and worst in a rider.

The reasons for taking off on a road trip can be varied and many, but its basic nature is that you have a need to go elsewhere. Simple eh? For us, it was the weather that forced us out on the roads in our old Chevy truck.

Ken Block has built the world’s fastest snow cat. It's a Subaru STI rally car lifted up onto Mattracks’ 105M1-A1 rubber track system. It started as a funny idea for accessing back country in Utah. Ken wanted to combine two of his favorite things in this world: driving rally cars and snowboarding powder.

Why sledding beats Hockey
First of all, it takes three hours to get dressed for a game of hockey. Pads here, cup there, strap the skates on your feet and tape the stick and so on. A day in the mountains takes about four minutes to prepare (assuming that you are already there of course…) Put your helmet on, get your pants (put them on later) and you’re off! Plus, it’s cooler to say you got that broken pelvis

Frontier Films has released a new great snowmobile movie - 2 Stroke Cold Smoke 12. This is an epic adventure around the world through the mountains of Canada, Alaska, Washington, Sweden and Andorra in south of Europe. This film has amazing professional snowmobilers such as Geoff Kyle, Rob Alford, Ross Mercer, Randy Sherman, Dan Phillips, Dan Treadway, Paul Thacker and more. Some of the sequences shot by the great film photographer Mikael Berntsson are the most epic ones ever shot in snowmobile history. RedSherpa.com and the photographer Hans Wärdell joined the film crew last winter, to capture the riders Rob Alford, Geoff Kyle and Thomas Wärdell on still photos. We have sponsored with photos for the DVD-cover and at frontierfilms.com. On the cover you see the amazing rider Geoff Kyle starting an avalanche while dropping a huge cliff, shot by Hans.
