That is absolutely beautiful there it's God's country as my mom and dad. I miss the snow so much I moved to Florida back in 95 because of my first wife and now I have kids here I would love them to move back to New England so I could get the winter and fall seasons

* Dude you are so young 🤭 I remember when the "67" Ski Doos were new ... My friend's dad got one and he used to drag all four us around behind it on a "48" Ford car hood ! In 69 one of his friends got one called a " Boa Ski " that sucker seemed so fast back then . 👊😎👍

I love snowmobiles sadly only used them about 3 times in Bosnia for resupplying a rebroadcasting station in the hills. It was a soviet built copy of the Olympic with a big old 2 stroke engine about 600cc I think. It hauled two of us and two sleds of batteries food and gas for the fuel heaters 👍 As ugly as sin but by heck she got the job done with (relative) ease. Charlie 🇬🇧

The Olympic sure brought back some memories. I drove one when I was a kid 40 yrs ago. They were slow and heavy and smelled like gas and oil and id do it again in a second LOL. The one I drove had no runners left on the skiis so you needed at least an acre of land to turn it around. Good times. Thanks for the ride.

I bought a 1970 Ski-doo in 1977. The 250cc engine was replaced by the previous owner with a 399cc bombier race engine with a single carb. I still have it and those who see it going always cheer and take pictures. It runs like a bat out of hell in the straights but it is easy to tip over on sharp turns. The only thing I've done with it is a new track, ski skids and wiring. But it still looks orginal and in great condition. Thanks from Seward Alaska.

Love the Olympic…my dad had one that I ran mercilessly. He bought it brand new with the matching Ski Boose that we road in around town when we were little. I still have the sleigh but the sled is likely a Hyundai fender or something equally terrible.

I had an old bombardier as a teen that was very similar to you Olympic. Not fast or fancy but always started, ran pretty good and was a great trail busting sled. Friends and fam with the fancy fast new sleds were always getting them buried and/or overheating them. Good memories Thanks!

Thanks for sharing Austin, you always get those old girls going brother! You know your stuff my friend, please stay safe, warm and healthy during the cold winter there, cooler today but in the upper 60’s in Louisiana after the freeze we had a week or so ago! Actually got down to 5 degrees wind chill but winds were 20-30 mph for at least 48 hours and that’s something I’ve never seen for that long in southwest Louisiana, I’m a retired welder 62 years old and looking at what you’re living in there’s no way I could make it there at my age brother! 30 years ago I’d loved it but those days have gone for this coonass! lol I’m located half way between Houston and New Orleans ! About 40 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, so plenty of humidity here and at 30 degrees it’s freakin cold because of the moisture! Makes a miserable winter! Sending prayers for your and your loved ones my friend!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thanks 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Just watched the latest offering and as usual enjoyed every minute. I have never seen snow like that in real life but you seem to have so much fun. I bet it gets old pretty quick though with such low temps and so much snow for long periods. I must say it is good to see more of you in the clips I did say you should show yourself a while ago. Remember you are the channel its good to see the star every once in a while. Good work keep it up and stay safe.

That was fun, are they a centrifugal clutch deal? We don't get much snow in Australia so I have never had the opportunity to go for a ride on one, looks like fun though. The pop up headlight is cool, will be better when there is a light in there. I will watch just about anything you put up, I remember one time I spent 10 minutes of my life watching a guy put new line on his string trimmer, must have thought something was going to happen but it didn't. I quite like that you just do a running commentary rather than turning the camera on yourself, something different, adds a bit of mystery, although I did catch a glimpse in a rear view mirror once.
