Joseph-Armand Bombardier develops the first oversnow vehicle. A tip of the hat to the original inventors as well as our gratitude to everyone-the manufacturers, aftermarket companies, clubs and riders-who has helped create the most awesome sport on the planet. Sprinkled throughout, you will also find important dates that helped shape the burgeoning sport of snow biking.ĭuring our research, we discovered that the lines of snowmobile invention are blurry since ideas have been borrowed (i.e., stolen). It would be impossible to list them all in this timeline, so we have picked out the most influential. Over the years, there have been numerous inventions that have shaped the way we ride and think about snowmobiling. Bombardier turn over in his grave, though, if he saw the machines we are riding today? Little did he know that his creation would spawn one of Canada’s favourite and most popular winter sports. Snowmobiling has been a part of the Canadian landscape since New Year’s Eve 1922, when a 15-year-old named Joseph-Armand Bombardier took his first “oversnow” vehicle for a test ride on the streets of Valcourt, Quebec.
