• 70%-win rate in ISOC finals
• 79%-win rate in the three ISOC Pro classes
• Hillclimb Building on Youth Success
• Cross-Country and oval remain steady
Valcourt, Quebec, September 7, 2024 — Ski-Doo snowmobile racers have been dominating snocross race events for years, and the 2023-24 season proved once again which brand rules as they posted a phenomenal seventy percent win rate across all ISOC finals. The numbers verify the continual innovation and refinement of the Ski-Doo MXZ 600 RS E-TEC has led to the highest performing and most reliable platform that allows racers at all levels to succeed.
The ISOC season numbers were truly staggering for Ski-Doo racers:
• Won 113 out of the 162 finals
• In the three Pro classes (Pro Women, Pro-Lite and Pro) even more dominate with a 79%-win rate.
• Nine of thirteen ISOC class season championships.
Of course, all this success comes on the back of the great race teams offering support with mechanics, training and logistics to these talented and dedicated riders – kudos and thank you to all those that spend their weekends at the races (Ski-Doo knows you love the competition, adrenaline and excitement!).
2024 Ski-Doo ISOC Season Champions:
• Pro Lite – Crayden Dillon (Most improved Pro Award)
• Pro Women – Malene Cottew
• Sport – Brandon Nelson
• Sport Lite – Trenton Hilmerson
• Jr 14-15 – AJ Skogquist
• Jr 10-13 – Tavin Knudson
• Transition 9-13 – Jimmy Stanisich
• Transition 8-10 – Tripp Knudson
• Stock 200 – Jack Gelinas
Snocross Rinse and Repeat:
Bad news for the competition is that in the 2024-25 race season they can expect to face much of the same daunting teams and racers at each event – Including a fully healed and very determined Elias Ishoel. The five-time champ Ishoel has been clear; his goal is title number 6.

Hillclimb
In Hill Climb a new direction has emerged with a youth movement- the future is bright and they are fast – along with some seasoned pros. The Jackson Hole World Championship set the stage – where 14 out of 15 Semi-Pro racers that qualified for the finals were on a Ski-Doo. The dominating efforts of these racers and the Semi-Pro King Jhett Johnson is an indication that the focus of building the future is paying off. The team will be racing the Summit HCE, Freeride Turbo and Factory hand-built Mods made in the Valcourt Race Shop. The complete roster will be shared in October.
Cross-country
Christian Brothers has been a name synonymous with racing and winning. In the shortened COR XC season a new name was on top the leader board and that was Jesse Hallstrom. Winning the only two rounds held fueled the fire for the rookie Pro racer. He will return aboard the ultra-competitive Ski-Doo MXZ 600R Competition Package this season – the same sled anyone can buy.
Tyler Aklestad and Nick Olstad are two names that when you hear them, you hope you don’t have to race them. Easily the most prepared Iron Dog racers of this generation, they faced adversity last year and are looking to be on top after the 2500-mile race in February.
Oval
Oval will see the two-time World Champ Matt Goede back showing again the raw speed of the Ski-Doo MXZ 600 RS E-TEC. He will be joined in his fight with the always competitive Gunnar Sterne & up and comer Gavin Peterson.
