<DIV><DIV>Joseph-Armond Bombardier devoted his entire life to finding mechanical designs that would help conquer the elements in his part of the world &mdash; Valcourt, Quebec, Canada, where winters are long and deep with snow. One of his greatest inventions was a motorized snow vehicle, the first of which allowed a missionary friend of his to cross miles of woods that would have not otherwise been passable. <br> <br> From that first Bombardier snow machine to the newer Formula series models, all Ski-Doo snowmobiles to 1995 are covered in this Collector&rsquo;s Guide to Ski-Doo Snowmobiles. <br> <br> The book traces the development of the snowmobiles, their engines, suspensions, and comfort features. It takes you from the age of wooden skis and bodywork to today&rsquo;s light, powerful, and aerodynamic Ski-Doo models. Technical specifications and year-by-year updates are included, along with 135 photos.</DIV>
