State of Snowmobile Market Snowfall more consistent last 2 winters across North America after spotty snow the last decade. Economy did have an impact last season. Minimal market share movement. Polaris #2. Dealer Inventory levels down overall. Expect sizable decline next season across the industry. Enthusiast base purchasing premium products. Entry sled is now $6K. Promotional spending moderating Dealer profitability up slightly due to increased service business Shift to 4-Stroke slowing even with new product intros (25% of industry sales) EPA Impacts MY '12.
