Snowmobiles have power requirements similar to boats or airplanes.
Unlike cars (or trains) that draw little power once they are rolling,
snowmobiles have considerable drag while moving through the snow. Thus,
the range for a given battery capacity can be quite low, especially in
deep, wet, snow. On hard packed trails, the drag can be much less.
Even with LiIon, range in an electric snowmobile is going to remain a
significant hurdle.

Snowmobiles, and in summer noisy smelly ATVs, are a real nuisance for
those wishing immersion in nature. Not to mention the pollution they
leave behind.
