You raise a good point about snow depth. Maybe there's not enough snow yet? How much snow do you need for a snowmobile?
I have woods outside my door too, but no snowmobile trails. Why I love walking for exercise on packed snowmobile trails: They're just firm enough to keep you moving forward without sinking in, but they have good cushioning for your joints. And the snowmobiles break up the slippery surface after freezing rain. Perfect! Much better than walking on pavement (too hard on the joints), in deep snow (too difficult), or on snowshoes in deep snow (too much effort, pace too slow, but I do enjoy snowshoeing).
