The first "snowmobiles" were actually armored, propellor-driven ski vehicles used by Russian troops in 1909. The first track-driven vehicles were cars and trucks modified with skis under the front wheels, with an American patent issued to Ray H. Muscott in 1916. The first vehicle designed specifically for ski travel was by Joseph-Armand Bombardier (founder of the company), who designed rubberized tracks for enclosed 7- and 12-passenger vehicles, offered for sale beginning in 1937. Among the first "personal" vehicles was one built from a motorcycle in 1914, by O.M. Erickson and Art Olsen of the P.N. Bushnell company (Aberdeen, South Dakota). The first lightweight modern skicraft was the "Ski-doo" produced by Bombardier in 1959.
