The beginning The very first Ski-Doo was presented to the world in 1959 as it was invented by Joseph Armand Bombardier.

Personal items Naturally, the first things that you should put on your list are the personal items. These include several things such as your medication, ID, the driver’s license, insurance for you and the vehicle, the snowmobile safety certification card (in case it’s required), money, your cellphone, food to give you energy and, never forget, water. These things are part of those items that are so obvious that we tend to forget about them, thinking “how could I forget about them?” Because of this, people tend to leave them behind,…

A proper wash is crucial As the weather warms and the snow begins to melt, there is little use for your snowmobile until the next winter season, and chances are that underneath that snow lies a lot of dirt and grime. Before you put your snowmobile to bed, it is important to give it a proper bath and clean it off thoroughly.
