Have you ever wondered where the term "Snowmobile" came from?

Pretty nice restoration.

 

I get a kick out of different pronunciations:

 

snowmobile, rhymes with wheel (what I'm used to)

snowmobile, rhymes with Bill (one of those Canadian Sled TV shows)

snowmobile, as in mobile phone (heard in Scandinavian videos and probably the technically true pronunciation)

Every snowmobiler should make a pilgrimage to Valcourt, Quebec.

Too bad this was after class, not open.  I was down on training, next time I'll visit for real.

 

We bought the film of his life story, pretty incredible to see how they lived back in the day.  Some neat stuff you'll never see if you don't watch the film.
