Polaris hosted a 2026 snowmobile Sneak Peak at Mies Outland in St. Cloud, MN and I attended to check out the latest offerings for Switchback crossover sleds. Rather than bog viewers down in all of the options, this video explain the different models, to help buyers decide which one might be right for them.
During the spring "Snow Check" order period, you can choose engines, colors, options and often tracks for each model. This is the part that makes my head spin - there are so many options. My suggestion is to start here, so that you have a good understanding of the various models first, then dig deeper into options with your dealer.

It's a common theme for me this year, but it has been a long time since I've seen prices of new snowmobiles this low - these are 2019 prices! Inventory is high, and used sleds are also plentiful. It's a true buyers market right now, and I think you need to take advantage of it.
