Ski-Doo

Ski-Doo is a brand name of snowmobile fabricated by Bombardier Recreational Products. The first Ski-Doo was launched in 1959. It was a new invention Joseph-Armand Bombardier. The original name was Ski-Dog, the « g » was misprinted by mistake in the advertising of the time and was transformed to « o » in its publicity campaigns.

The first Ski-Doos found customers with missionaries, trappers, and prospectors, land surveyors and other persons who need to displace themselves in snow remote areas. The largest success for the snowmobile came from sport enthusiasts, a market that opened the door to massive production of snowmobiles.[1].
