What was everyones first snowmobile? The first one I rode was a Ski-doo Citation but the first one that was mine was a 377 safari. I beat the crap out of that thing, did ditch runs, ran the runners thin, and roled it a couple time but she still kept on going.

I believe the first one I rode was a Ski-doo Olympic, back in the 70's but it also could of been a AC Kitty cat..............But the first one I owned was a '89 AC Wildcat 650.

1988 skidoo MX470 lt brand new. That was the first year I went to the mountains too. I thought that thing just rocked.
Makes a guy wonder what they'll have 20 years from now.

My first sled which my Dad bought for me was a 1969 Ski-doo 335 Olympique. First with my own cash was a 1980Ski-doo Citation 250 (?) single cylinder powerhouse. :)

Mine was a 1982 Moto Ski Spirit (basically the same as a Elan) I rode that thing for miles!!! I think it was the only sled to shake harder than my Rev's!!!

Here is what it looked like:

First sled rode was 1977 TX 440, that thing was fast. First sled owned was a beautiful 1978 300 citation as pictured here( this one is mint compared to mine). Those things were litterally indestructible. They don't make them like that anymore.

The first sled I paid for with my own hard earned money was a '84 Eltigre 6000. It was mint! If I could have brought it into my bedroom at night so I could sleep with it I would have :d I still remember peeling off the hund'ys when I bought it :)

Ended up, many years later, trading to a guy who reshingled the roof on my first house?
