How Snowmobiles Were Developed For Snowmobile Trails

By Deborah Hayes


There are many ways one could travel. Most of the time, people will uses cars get around roads, boats if going on water, and plane if going to farther distances. Going through snowy terrain may be the most dangerous. Because of low slippery it is and unpredictable footing, areas that are filled will ice and snow will be hard without anything happening. A lot of things could happen as well, for example an avalanche could drop anytime and multiple individuals maybe hurt during a snow mountain excursion.

Since decades ago, people have wanted to travel on top of snow to make it easier. The development of vehicular technology and advancement for snowmobiles have helped in thinks like traveling through winters. Allegan County snowmobile trail is where multiple vessels travel through on snowy days and through harsh icy conditions. These enables travel to be much faster and easier then before.

Before it was made, patents were made for winter vehicle that could tracks, like those used for tanks, and the front would have skies put on the front. This was done in order to hold on to ices slippery surface. These early prototypes were very popular in rural mail delivery in that era. When cars and trucks were converted into using tracks, they would be called Snowflyers.

The challenged posed by cross country transportation during the winter eventually led to innovation of snowmobile. The vehicle is designed to be all terrain and to specifically transverse over ice that hindered other normal ones that tried to go into harsh winter conditions. The coming of 20th century saw the machines evolve through multiple advancements.

Eventually, mobiles for two people were put into production. Several new parts were added to machines. New engines were put into tracked frames with sleds. The newer engines were gas propulsion which allowed vehicles to get low to medium speeds. But how fast it is would depend on how rough and difficult the terrain could be.

The beginnings of its development goes back to when the 20th century was just coming around. Multiple inverters were coming out new types of engines and new types of frames that were going to be used in building a snowmobile. This process can be compared to how automobiles and aerodynamics developed in their early years of production.

People who lived in Wisconsin began to experimenting on prototypes that could go over the harsh winters. Beginning with converting rear tractor treads and putting some skis at the front. Another prototypes was made during 1920, were a two cylinder motorcycle engine placed into a long sled. It used to steer with skis up front and is propelled by a single, endless tracks.

American Motor Sleigh was introduced by companies in Boston in early 1905. The mobile was designed to travel on Bostons winters. But a problem with it was that it was slow and small, becoming identified as a novelty item instead of a proper vessel for travel. Despite its interesting designs, the product was discontinued from sales because of how it failed in the market.

The Russians saw world war two and introduced the Aerosani. The machine was built on 1909 and has been in development since. It usually said though that it does not count as a snowmobile because it does not tracks like tanks do.
