Snowmobiles

What do I need to know? We are looking at picking up a couple for the lakehouse so we can get more use out of it in the winter. My dad is leaning towards getting 2 person sleds so that more people can go at once. They will mostly be used for cruising around the lake, with some occasional trail riding.

Is there anything in particular to watch out for? We will probably be looking at older machines, trying to spend between $2500-$4000 all said and done.

As an alternative, what about an ATV? Pros are year round usage and the fact that I have been riding them for 10 years (I have virtually zero time on snowmobiles, but tons on jetskis). Cons are that we probably wouldn't be able to take the ATV on the trails near the house because we would likely mess up the snow.

Thanks
Garrett
