that was still $2800?!? I got my skidoo for $1500!
The appeal of these units is that they are small enough (at least some of them are) to not require a trailer and all the other support gear of a snowmobile. There are lots of manufacturers (NEVA, Taiga, Snowdog, etc) now as well as a ton of DIY projects out there. The problem has been that the cost nearly doubles in canada for the snowdog brand (most popular) but now that there is competition I think lots of people will choose something like this because it can fit into a van or station wagon(ish) sized car and some will even fit into a large trunk. From a flexibility point of view, these systems are also used year round for hauling , getting through swampy areas, etc..
Snowmobiles are plentiful, but currently overpriced due to covid craziness. Ultimately if you have the ability to tow a trailer the snowmobile makes some sense as it is faster, can be better in many kinds of conditions but ultimately its a winter vehicle only.

Another + is you don’t have to register them or have them insured. I didn’t like having to have insurance on my sled year round just to use it a few times in Jan and feb.
