Ski-Doo, a leading manufacturer of snowmobiles, has confirmed the return of its Snow PASS program for 2026. The initiative directly invests in the future of snowmobiling by funding trail maintenance, improving access, and supporting local clubs across North America.
What is the Ski-Doo Snow PASS Program?
