Snowmobiling is riding on a motorized tread with skis to steer. It's similar to jet skiing, only on snow instead of water. Obviously a bit colder, you need to dress warm. But if you run out of gas, you can just walk back - following the trail you left to get there.
You definitely need gloves and a helmet (although some states do not require it, do it anyway). You easily go 50, 60 mph, which is about the same speed as a jet ski, but the ground, and trees are a lot harder than water. You don't have to go that fast, but you need the helmet and gloves anyway. It's expensive to buy, but lots of places offer rentals/tours.
Snowmobiling is moderately priced, fairly easy to do and doesn't require a lot of muscle or stamina. If you want to go fast, that will use some more skill and muscle, but you don't need them to try it out. The machine does most of the work.
Snowmobiling trends male, but they have women too. Kids love it, but the age in which they can drive varies by state (Maine is 10, Wisconsin is 12, for example). Similarly some states require licenses. Check the laws before you do anything.
Dress warmly, wear a helmet - even if the law doesn't require it, common sense does.
I went in Vermont, you can find places to do it near any ski resort.
