As February comes to an end and rolls into March, winter will soon become spring, bringing green leaves, warmer weather, and puddles of melted snow. This is a long awaited event anticipated by those sick of icy roads and snow shoveling all winter long. For some however, the end of winter means reluctantly packing up the snow gear and preparing for the long haul until the next winter’s first snow. Although often overlooked, storing snowmobiles improperly can lead to an unpleasant surprise the following winter.

Tree sap, bird droppings, dirt, sun, rain, and dust can ruin the exterior as well as the engine of a snowmobile. Most of these things can be very hard to clean off, especially if it has been on the snowmobile for multiple months. You can also scratch the finished if you do try to clean it off the snowmobile. If you wait to wash your snowmobile the following winter, ice can build up on the exterior and damage the paint. If the snowmobile is exposed to water, rust can eat away at the finish and do damage to the engine. The sun’s UV rays are harmful to the snowmobile as well because it can break down the softer areas such as the seat. Leave your snowmobile indoors? Mold and mildew can grow, which can be harmful to both the snowmobile, and the air you are storing it in.

An easy way to remedy this is to store it with a cover. Covers can prevent indoor and outdoor toxins from damaging your snowmobile.

A little grainy, but i am working on that. I am going to add video and images very soon to the website. I am more of a coder than i am a writer so please bare that in mind. I will tell the history of Empire some day. This picture was taken last winter at my grand fathers house. The cover did extremely well in the snow. This is a max car cover that i used. The only problem with snow is you have to take the cover off very slowly if it ices over. What you should do is heat up some water and pour it gently on the cover to melt the ice and take it off. Pretend you have a band-aid on your car. Be careful. If you have any request on what you want me to write about please email me at jake@empirecovers.com. I love complaints too. Those are the best.
