A steering system for a snowmobile includes a handlebar assembly and a steering column that has upper and lower ends. The upper end of the steering column is coupled to the handlebar assembly. The lower end of the steering column is coupled to an input shaft of an electronic steering assist unit. An output shaft of the electronic steering assist unit is coupled directly to a steering arm assembly. First and second tie rods respectively couple the steering arm assembly to first and second ski assemblies such that turning the handlebar assembly, together with the assistance of the electronic steering assist unit, causes the ski assemblies to pivot. The steering column and the electronic steering assist unit share a common axis of rotation that is positioned along a centerline of the snowmobile.
