Summer may still be hanging in the air, but for hardcore winter sports and snowmobile tournament enthusiasts , you just have to know what are the best snowmobile models out there that can leave the competition in the dust and snowflakes. This list of the best snowmobiles designed for mountain events will give you all the information you need. Read on to know more.

Created for mountain events, the 2009 Arctic Cat M8 EFI 153 LE sports a great design and flashy exteriors. But underneath its glossy shell, you have a new rear suspension that is eight pounds lighter than the earlier models. Such feature really gives this snow vehicle a boost.

Aside from that, the 2009 Arctic Cat M8 EFI 153 LE also has an adjustable ski stance, running boards and removable side panels that make blitzing through the ice and snow a really great experience. However, this ride is not cheap. You have to prepare to shell out more than $10,000 to get your hands on this one.

Another great snowmobile model for 2009 is the new 2009 Yamaha FX Nytro MTX. Engineered for mountain sports dominance, this machine offers great powerful ride without compromising your comfort. Created for mountain events, this snowmobile simply rocks.

The new 2009 Yamaha FX Nytro MTX parades a 4-stroke engine coupled with three cylinders, and a fuel injections system to ensure optimum mountain performance. Also, you get other cool features such as the electric start button and the standard heated hand grips. Exterior design is also well thought. Price is not so friendly, as this model carries an $11,000 price tag.

Built for mountain supremacy is the 2009 Polaris RMK 800 Dragon. Simply put, this model is simply a topper in the list of 2009’s finest snow mobiles. It features adjustable ski stance and standard heating grips mechanism. That said, there are some flaws in this gem of a snowmobile.

To start with, it utilizes a starter pull rather than the an electric start button. Though it may be the norm, undeniably, an electric start would have made it better. There is also the issue in the engine. While other models feature systems that employ 3-4 cylinders and 4 strokes, the 2009 Polaris RMK 800 Dragon only utilizes a 2 stroke engine with 2 cylinders. Priced around $11,000, this snowmobile is still a great buy.
