The UICSC Team

The University of Idaho Clean Snowmobile Team is comprised of both undergraduate and graduate students. We design, build, and test a snowmobile then compete with it at the SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge. The object of the challenge is to reduce emissions and quiet the snowmobile while maintaining reliability and performance.

The team has taken first place at competition in 2002, 2003, and 2007. The team placed 3rd overall during the 2022 competition.
