We build the cleaner, faster, and smarter snowmobiles of tomorrow. Recently, this has included the development of one of the world’s first plug-in hybrid snowmobiles. This club allows for you to apply what you learn in the classroom to a more authentic environment. All of the team’s projects are chosen, designed, completed, and presented by members. Every major and walk of life has a place on this team. Even more importantly, our amazing and welcoming upperclassmen will teach you any skill that you want to explore! This includes riding snowmobiles!
.
Our team places a large emphasis on modifying existing snowmobiles to run cleaner while maintaining the performance that the power sports industry offers. Reaching this goal involves improving fuel economy, reducing emissions, and lowering noise pollution. These modifications must also be done with the snowmobile industry in mind, meaning maintaining performance, handling, and cost. All this preparation is for our annual competition where we face off against over a dozen other universities in different dynamic and static events. The dynamic events test the capabilities of the snowmobile and include acceleration, cold start, endurance / fuel economy, noise testing, emissions, and handling. The static events include a technical design paper and presentation, and defending industry impact through value benefit and sales presentations. In short: we improve the impact snowmobiles have on the environment while keeping them fun to ride!

We all hope that you can come join us in building one of the world’s first plug-in hybrid snowmobiles and learn alongside us on this adventure! If you have any questions about the team, feel free to email us at cleansnow@rit.edu or DM us on Instagram!

Participants modify existing snowmobiles to be cleaner. That involves improving fuel economy, reducing emissions, and lowering noise pollution, all while maintaining the performance that the power sports industry offers. Teams will compete in various events, including dynamic events, such as acceleration, cold start, endurance/fuel economy, noise testing, emissions, and handling. Participants also compete in static events that are used to show the design process that the team went through. These include a technical design paper and presentation, a value benefit presentation, and a sale presentation. In short... improve the impact snowmobiles have on the environment while keeping them fun to ride!

Being a part of our active and enthusiastic team, means you're also joining a fun and caring family. Each individual on the team has the opportunity to pursue a specific interest, all the while still contributing to the overall progress of the team. We welcome all new members and look forward to not only teaching them but also learning from everyone who decides to be a part of this amazing club!
