According to the World Snowmobile Association which governs snocross, watercross, and hillcross racing, snocross is the most popular form of snowmobile racing. Snocross was derived from the sport of motocross. The name is a portmanteau of the words "snowmobile" and "motocross". The sport uses a snowmobile instead of a motorcycle, and a snow/ice surface instead of dirt. The snow/ice surface which is either natural or man-made. Tracks are generally located in higher latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere since temperatures below freezing are required to maintain the frozen track surface. Motorcycle riders in motocross and supercross frequently compete in snocross in the winter. Snocross became an event at the X Games in 1998. X Games is a popular gathering place for some snow-related sports in the United States. The course at the first snocross event at the X Games resembled a motocross course; it was significantly longer than courses are now. It had deeper holes and higher jumps that are now filled in with snow. (en)
  • Skotercross är en tävlingsform för snöskotrar. Sverige, Finland och Norge dominerar sporten i Europa. Den nordamerikanska sporten är inte med i internationella motorcykelförbundet (FIM) och skiljer sig ganska mycket från den europeiska varianten. Bland annat är de nordamerikanska banorna kortare och extremare och snöskotrarna får ha metalldubb i mattan. (sv)
