Well, I know many won't care because you're all techie and don't like the feel of high clay content paper between your fingers but I got this email form American Snowmobiler this morning. They are ending on a good note for us though because their Western editor Ryan Thompson is doing a write-up on our Phantom Laser Teth-Air after running it on his personal sled last season. I have not seen the write up so it I will be reading it for the first time in the last issue in November. I know this was a flat-landers magazine but they always seemed to get the scoop on new things, even on the mountain sleds.

Dear Industry Colleagues,

Over the last few years, the snowmobiling category has been challenging and uncertain, which has had an impact on the growth of American Snowmobiler. With that in mind, we have made the difficult decision that the November 2019 issue will be the last issue of American Snowmobiler.

Kalmbach Media has greatly enjoyed working in the Snowmobiling industry and we value all the great industry partnerships we have built since we acquired American Snowmobiler 15 years ago. We thank you for your support of our brand and wish you continued success in the industry.

There will continue to be some opportunities to advertise to our email, social, and digital audience. Please contact Michael Wieloch for more information.
Please contact us if you have any questions on ads you may have placed for issues beyond November 2019.

Best regards,

The American Snowmobiler Team

It's too bad. I still like the excitement of picking up the latest new magazine and bringing it home to read. Their magazine was always the first one on the shelf to kick off the season. Always enjoyed sitting at the beach In August reading a snowmobile magazine in +30c heat while my girls swim in the lake.

tough for the magazines to compete with the Internet.

I haven't looked at one of theirs for a few years (me and a lot ov people obviously) but l always liked that they had actual dyno tuning articles. I figured they were the biggest but don't know for sure. Liked Snowtech better though.

Probably because they lost that lucrative BRP advertising portfolio. They were called "American" Snowmobiler for a reason.

Maybe so but I have dealt with them all , Snowest, and Snowtech, and American Snowmobiler being was the best to deal with.

Anyway we all live in America!
