Mr. Snowmobile, Paul Crane, owner of Crane’s Snowmobile Museum, was the first American to ride a snowmobile!
A decade from now we'll be carbon free, back to skis and snowshoes. Dog sleds, but no sleds manned by those evil ruminants. Back to the future.
Very gracious of them.
Maybe one percent seemed just too extravagant?
*BUMP*
We own two vintage 1980’s Arctic Cats; His & Hers. They still work just fine with regular maintenance.
Fun, Fun, FUN! :)
A snowmobile is an automotive vehicle for travel on snow. As with most technical innovations, the development of the snowmobile is obscure. Joseph-Armand BOMBARDIER, a mechanic from Valcourt, Qué, developed the first of many oversnow vehicles - a propeller-driven sled - in 1922.
A moderately successful motor toboggan was developed in Wisconsin in 1927, but it was Bombardier who incorporated the motive sprocket wheel and double, endless track that made the vehicle practical.
In 1937 he sold 50 of his B-7 model as buses and medical transport, and he designed vehicles used in WWII; by 1948 about 1000 B-12s had been produced.
Bombardier patented many other improvements to suspension, transmission and braking systems to make the snowmobile more reliable, and in the mid-1950s the introduction of the air-cooled, 2-stroke engine made possible the small sport models common today.
