The steel frame snowmobile has a running distance of 30 meters before sliding, and athletes with strong strength and explosive power have a natural advantage after the transfer. In other countries, cross-discipline selection of athletes is also common, and there is even no shortage of "all-rounders" who participate in both the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics. The vertical drop of the steel frame snowmobile track is more than 110 meters, and the fastest speed can exceed 130 kilometers per hour.
