I think it was a seacoast snowmobile club member -- but I'm just stereotyping -- sorry. You have no idea at all who did this so why guess? In my experience, jerks live in every state (some even on the coast if you can believe that!) and unfortunately there isn't an age limit to join that club either.

I suspect a snow fence and some no snowmobile/no trespassing signs on both ends of the property would be enough of a deterrent to discourage the bad behavior. I have actual experience with snowmobilers following my tracks onto my wife's family property on Bear Island (yes, not Mink) thinking it was an unmarked trailhead only to discover that, no, it only led to a camp. Turned around and left. Sad but true that once one sled makes a path, others are likely to follow. I doubt most sledders are looking to cause intentional damage. If warned off an area, I think they'll abide.
