the US Army Air Corps used this "motorized tobaggan" on the Air Force base in Presque Isle Maine
I can't recall where I found the photo.
It's very cool to see that someone innovated a recognizable snowmobile bogey structure, seat and gas tank similar locations to modern snowmobiles... and even the dual ski steering (in front of the engine only) looks the same as the 1968 Ski Doo in the previous post
a one ski Ski Doo, and other 60's snowmobiles goofing off in 1968 Maine after a blizzard
above in front, below in the middle... that has to be a late 50's or early 60's when they were trying to figure out how to make snow mobiles steering and suspension
No surprise, I love old snow mobiles, snow machines, crazy contraptions that won't get stuck in the snow, and the cool old Bombardier cat tracked snow machines the size of VW bugs

cool snowmobile design!
Found on http://progress-is-fine.blogspot.com
the reason for the oversized windshield? Don't know... really cold area it was sold and used in dictating a area to hold the hot engine air in, and the windchill out? Possibly
Good stuff found on Go Away Garage
spare spark plugs mounted next to the gauge and clock... and in inclinometer... very cool

Hagerty TV added video coverage to the vintage Snow Mobiles in their magazine that I posted a little while ago

Red Bull brings in the new year, Levi LaVallee broke his own world record for distance jumped on a snowmobile by launching 412 feet

http://www.redbullusa.com/cs/Satellite/en_US/Video/red-bull-new-year-no-limits-021243143084453
ESPN has a much better video at http://espn.go.com/action/story/_/id/7409827/new-year-no-limits
LaVallee jumped alongside Robbie Maddison, who unofficially broke the world record for distance jumped on a motorcycle during practice for Saturday night's event. Maddison said he jumped 392 feet during practice but during the live event, he came up just short of the 391-foot record, landing at 378 feet, 9 inches.
After working out the details of their individual approaches, the pair sailed through the air, in synchronistic fashion, jumping over 300 feet of water from the North to the South at the Embarcadero Marina Park. Robbie Maddison was leading at about 110 mph with Levi LaVallee gaining, as if in the draft, at maybe 120 mph. http://www.ultimatemotorcycling.com/2012-red-bull-jump-lavallee-maddison
And that is about it for news coverage of this spectacle event. Not like its a heavy news day around the world, but basically no one but ESPN and Ultimate Motorcycling were there and reporting about it today
Maddison kick-started the Red Bull series in 2007 by jumping his motorcycle 322 feet in Las Vegas. The following year, he jumped onto and then off the 96-foot high scale version of the Arc de Triomphe at Paris Las Vegas.
Maddison has jumped the 279-foot wide Corinth Canal in Greece, at a height of more than 300 feet above the water, and did a no-handed back flip over the open span on London’s Tower Bridge.
Tere found a great video compilation of the past new years eve Red Bull jumps!
What would New Years Eve be without Levi Lavalee jumping? This time, it will be in San DIego

From last years jumps:
Before atv's became commonplace in the 1990's, some people converted their snowmobiles
This last one was a factory conversion kit "Wunder Wheels"
