    subbed. I'm from Duluth so I might be biased. snowmobiles are my favorite power sport. nothing can even really compare to blowing through the field of fresh powder or cracking it across the lake wide open.

    Nice video. POLARIS the only name I've trusted since 1992. Current sleds, a 1980 polaris TX-L " my pride and joy" . And a 2005 polaris 700 xc sp f/o.

    Really a great video, I worked at AC 10 years, Polaris 7 and my siblings, at AC, Mom and Dad both worked at AC Service and Warrenty and throwing motors .. I once was told Edgar used to say it was insanity,,, building a machine to go outside in most inhospitable conditions to the middle of nowhere ,,like selling ice to eskimos... but these are wonderful tools.

      I didn't think that it was controversial to say that skidoo didn't invent a snowmobile because they just welded skis to a Model T and called it one.

    Eliason created the first snowmobile as we know it in 1924, but also Henry ford created a model a snowmobile in 1928.. also mr bombardier made the first mass produced snowmobiles starting in 1954

    I think Joseph Armand bombardier is widely credited for the invention of the snowmobile.

      I guess in a technical sense, but he invented some goofy looking model t with tracks and skis, but polaris built the modern equivalent to what they look like now

      Yes although Eliason never really mass produced snowmobiles or was widely known about, as compared to Polaris or Bombardier. Just had to add that.

    amazing that one guy spearheaded both Polaris and 'Cat. I love the meme that says 'factory recall on all wedge chassis Polaris sleds....it's time their owners got new sleds" -- guilty as charged.
