How many miles do snowmobiles last?
Snowmobile engines last around 5,000-20,000+ miles, or even more depending on many factors like its type, how it’s used and maintenance. 2-stroke snowmobile engines usually need a “top end refresh” after around 5,000 miles.
Why is Polaris better than Ski-Doo?
Ski-Doo boards are a tad bit wider and tend to offer a better working platform. That said, they also tend to hang up a bit in the snow. Ski-Doo’s track is also an inch wider than the Polaris track, which provides a little better flotation while the Polaris track will provide a little better sidehilling.

Is 6000 miles alot for a snowmobile?
There are lots of forums out there to read which models are good and which ones give trouble. 2000 miles isn’t a lot but on some motors that milage will make it a time bomb. I’ve seen 6000 mile sleds look better than 1000 mile ones. It all depends on previous owner just like anything else.
Is 3000 miles a lot on a snowmobile?
Your looking at 150 miles a year average or one good afternoon of riding. For a snowmobile under 4000 miles I would consider low, 5000 – 8000 medium and 10,000 and up high. But all depends on the year. I put between 2500 – 3000 in a good year, 1600 – 1900 bad year.
