ISMA Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Join us for International Snowmobile Ride Day – February 14, 2026
EAST LANSING, MI, February 5, 2026: The International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (ISMA)
is excited to celebrate International Snowmobile Ride Day on Saturday, February 14ᵗʰ, 2026. Held
annually on the second Saturday in February, this year’s Ride Day is extra special as it coincides
with Valentine’s Day – giving snowmobilers the perfect opportunity to spend the day with someone
they love and enjoy the sport they love.
ISMA encourages snowmobilers everywhere to get out on the trails, share the experience with friends
and family and enjoy the health and wellness benefits of spending time outdoors during the winter.
Snowmobiling not only connects riders with nature – it also supports small businesses and
communities throughout the North American Snowbelt, many of which rely on the economic boost
snowmobilers bring during the winter season.
This year’s event takes place during Take A Friend Snowmobiling Week (February 7-16, 2026), an
initiative that invites riders to introduce non-snowmobiling friends to the sport and show them
firsthand how fun, accessible, and community-driven snowmobiling can be.
As part of the ISMA grant program, nineteen snowmobile clubs across North America have received
funding to host a ride or special event this Saturday. If you live near one of these clubs, we
encourage you to join their activity – or connect with your local club to plan your own ride for
the weekend. Getting involved with your local snowmobile club is one of the best ways to meet
fellow riders, explore new trails, and support snowmobiling in your region.
Have a great International Snowmobile Ride Day – and ride safely this weekend!
