Ski-Doo Summit X with Expert Package Emerges as Snowmobile of the Year

Ski-Doo, a brand under the umbrella of BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO, NASDAQ: DOOO), has proudly announced that its 2026 Summit X model with the Expert Package has been awarded the prestigious title of Snowmobile of the Year by Snow Goer magazine. This accolade is a testament to the Summit X’s exceptional blend of innovation, design, and performance tailored for the demanding needs of snowmobilers.

The selection process conducted by Snow Goer entailed a thorough evaluation based on several key criteria including innovation, ride quality, overall performance, and its impact on the market. The magazine’s editorial team lauded the Summit X’s advancements, stating it is notably stable at high speeds, adept at navigating through the tricky trails, and requires less constant rider input, effectively leading to reduced fatigue during rides. This enhances the overall riding experience, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy longer excursions while exploring mountain terrains.

The 2026 Ski-Doo Summit X is engineered with advanced features tailored for mountaineers and extreme conditions. At its core is the revolutionary REV Gen5 platform, complemented by the powerful Rotax 850 E-TEC engines, with options for turbocharging which result in spectacular handling and performance that can handle the most rigorous trails and conditions. The model pushes industry standards forward with its innovative 32-inch wide front suspension and ski stance, along with redesigned geometry and the cutting-edge Twin Link steering system. These features not only improve agility but also make deep snow carving easier and more engaging.

Snow Goer editors emphasized that the Summit X with Expert Package’s meticulous engineering allows for greater control, reduced bump steer, and enhanced turning capabilities, which keeps riders firmly engaged with the terrain, whether they are challenging themselves on steep slopes or gliding across pristine snowfields.

According to Pascal Vincent, Global Product Strategy Director for Snowmobiles at BRP, the recognition from Snow Goer validates their commitment to enhancing rider experiences. He shared, "The Summit X with Expert Package is not just a snowmobile; it is a vital companion for avid mountain riders poised to push boundaries further and discover new landscapes. This acknowledgment underlines the passion our Ski-Doo team infuses into every model developed, reflecting our dedication to advance snowmobiling technology."

With over three decades of rich mountain heritage, dating back to the introduction of the first mountain-specific Summit in 1994, Ski-Doo continues to remain at the forefront of the industry. Their commitment to innovation empowers riders to redefine their experiences across varying terrains. The entire 2026 lineup is a reflection of their relentless drive for excellence and responsiveness to rider feedback.
