Best Concrete Setup for Snowmobile Parking and Storage Areas?

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a concrete parking and storage area for snowmobiles, and I want to make sure it holds up well in extreme winter conditions.

Since snowmobiles bring in snow, ice, and moisture, I need a surface that can handle freeze-thaw cycles, prevent excessive ice buildup, and remain durable over time.

Has anyone built a concrete pad or garage floor specifically for snowmobile use? What’s the best concrete mix and finish to prevent slipping and resist moisture damage? Also, is there anything special I should do to reinforce the slab to handle temperature shifts and heavy loads?

Looking forward to hearing your recommendations!

2% air entrained for exterior concrete.
6 or 6.5 sack mix.

4" thick.
Wire mesh embed.
Slope to drain into an area you don't mind having a pond / skating rink.

Tooled or saw cut control joints every 6-8'

Spread a surface hardener after doing a light broom finish.

If you have the bucks put heat tubing through the slab and run a glycol / boiler.
 
Will that mix stand up to new carbides?
I was thinking water draining tiles over the surface might make it last longer from abrasion but might not be in the plan.
