Imagine the thrill of riding a powerful 800cc turbocharged engine with 180hp. High powered snowmobiles are capable of reaching speeds exceeding 160 kph (100 mph). However, at approximately 227 kg (500 lb.) and travelling at high speeds the possibility of a bad ending is endless. 

  • Snocross is comprised of racing on a winding course, complete with jumps, sharp turns and obstacles. The X-Games have included Snocross events since 1998. Speeds in these events reach 96 kph (60 mph), and have jumps over 8 meters (26 ft) high, launching contestants 40 meters (130 ft) through the air.
  •  
  • Hillcross involves two competitors racing snowmobiles on an uphill course loaded with elevation step-ups, tabletops, jumps and corners. The tracks are usually an average length of 305 meters (1000 ft).

FICOR Score

(Fatality & Injury Classification of Risk)

Discipline : (Snocross / Racing / Hillcross)
Fatality Rate of 1: X Participants
Severe Injury Rate of 1: X Participants

FICOR score is based on XDGE's proprietary scoring system

Minimum score to be considered for XDGE is 50, and the maximum is 100. This FICOR score is based on available data combined with XDGE's proprietary scoring system which weights several factors based on importance, including: insurance risk scores for the particular activity being evaluated, reaction time available as an adverse event unfolds, speed, height, depth, technical difficulty, ability to mitigate risk during activity, availability of backup equipment, involvment of other participants, location of activity, mental focus required, outcome resulting of most mishaps such as death or hospitalization, and a determination of the likelihood of having a major accident if that sport is done frequently.
