We're back on the Great Canadian Snowmobile Trail in Northern Canada!
We've already explored the Atlantic, Central, and Western regions of Canada and the aluminum snowmobile trailers ALCOM builds to make your sled trip the best yet. Now we're heading further north, closer to the Arctic, into the Northern Territories of Canada. With nearly half of the nation's landmass and less than .5% of its total population, the North is big, cold, and sparsely inhabited.
But it's a thrilling place to explore to put snowy miles under your sled tracks, catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights, and make lifelong memories in the North. ALCOM's fully decked-out Elevation Series aluminum snowmobile trailers are the perfect way to transport your sleds and gear as you venture into Northern Canada.
Elevation Series enclosed snowmobile trailers put all the premium features you could want in a convenient package. It's an all-aluminum, all-upgraded snowmobile trailer. The list of standard features on these sled haulers is packed with everything from an LED light package, power and heat packages to padded benches, a deluxe boot box, cabinets and coat hangers.
Choose a deckover model, an All Sport Elevation trailer, or go for the biggest rig we build - the gooseneck All Sport Elevation trailer! Get must-have features like D-rings, ski guides and a spring-assisted ramp door, plus convenient extra touches like a stone guard to protect your trailer's nose, a roof vent to keep fresh air circulating, and a side access door with fold-down aluminum step. Available in sizes for any trek, from 8.5' wide by 16' long for a deckover Elevation model to the giant 101" by 42' long gooseneck Elevation trailer. You'll always have plenty of room for snowmobiles and gear.
Speaking of gear, don't forget your warmest layers when you head for Northern Canada. The average winter temperatures fall and stay well below zero throughout the region, which has a mixture of subarctic, tundra, and ice cap climates. The region is sparsely populated, with around 120,000 residents in the entire north.
Snowmobiles aren't just for fun in the north - they're also a way to get around during long winter months! With long winters and big stretches of land between cities, Northern Canada offers unforgettable views and lifelong memories. There are a few major cities to consider for your home base when you hitch on and head north.
The second-largest city in Northern Canada, Yellowknife, is also the capital, largest community, and only official city in the Northwest Territory. Built on the northern edge of the deepest lake in North America, Yellowknife is the main tourism hub for the province. Learn more about the local snowmobile laws and check out local trail recommendations. Visiting in late March? Don't miss the Snowkings' Winter Festival!
Whitehorse, Yukon is home to the Klondike Snowmobile Association. Find trail maps and other useful information on their website. As the capital of the Yukon Territory, Whitehorse is also known for having some of the cleanest air in the world. In the winter months, fill your lungs with cold fresh air on the trails, then head back to town to rest and recharge for another beautiful day outdoors.
Head for Dawson City for a glimpse of the Northern Lights, a glimpse into the city's historic Gold Rush past, and for snowmobile adventures on the trail! Every year, the Trek Over the Top snowmobile celebration starts in Tok, Alaska and ends in Dawson, YT. Some say it's the most fun you can have with your snow pants on, with festivities continuing for days after the 200-mile trek!
Remember to check up-to-date border crossing information and travel advisories before starting your journey. Like with any trip along the Great Canadian Snowmobile Trail, you should review the snowmobile regulations specific to the province or territory you plan to visit, and reach out to a local snowmobile club if you have questions. Keep permits, registration and insurance documents together in your vehicle ... and get ready for an unforgettable adventure!
