Is Ski-Doo better than Polaris? Who bought Polaris?

Snowmobiles sold under the Ski-Doo brand are made by Bombardier Recreational Products (originally Bombardier Inc. before the spin-off).

Ski-Doo personal snowmobiles are so well-known, especially in Canada, that in 2007, the CBC ranked them as the 17th greatest Canadian invention.

Joseph-Armand Bombardier unveiled his brand-new creation, the first Ski-Doo, in 1959.

The name was originally Ski-Dog, but a typo in a Bombardier brochure led to the name being altered to Ski-Doo.

When the error was discovered, Bombardier thought it was a fortunate development because it was easy to trademark for his car and it not only sounded good.

Is Ski-Doo better than Polaris? Who bought Polaris?

What you’re looking for and why you need a snowmobile genuinely depend on each other.

Polaris vehicles glide across the snow more smoothly than Ski-Doo sleds because the latter is wider.

But, you may use your legs as leverage to work the edges on both a Ski-Doo and a Polaris.
