SNOW FACTS
Did you know that snowmobiles are a Canadian Invention??
Snowmobiling has been both a "way of life" and a winter sport for many Canadians since Joseph-Armand Bombardier invented the first "snow machine". In 1922, when he was only 15, his father gave him an old Model "T" Ford. Bombardier removed the motor and attached it to the framework of a typical four-passenger sleigh — the usual mode of transportation for French-Canadian families during Quebec’s severe winters. He installed a huge wooden aeroplane propeller on the drive shaft behind the transmission. Then, using four sleigh runners to glide across the snow, he drove this “strange mechanical animal” through the main street of his hometown village.
