Ski-Doo Winter Rules 1997

[@CaptainPetrolburner]

My brother and I watched this VHS tape hundreds of times as kids. So cool to see it again.

[@Jeffreycarr-t7g]

Watched this about 2000 times that year now 26 years later 😢

[@jimturcotte5519]

Seen this a hundred times. My first brand new sled was a 97 MXZ 583. Twenty seven years ago. 😳🤦‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ Loved that sled. Still have the coffee mug Doo sent me. Too bad they do not do that stuff anymore.

[@ODOTGreen]

Awesome piece of history. I wish there was something like this from every manufacturer.

[@Cody-gl3xn]

I don't care what anybody says these Era snowmobiles were the best looking. Yeah the new ones might be faster, lighter, and more advanced but you can't tell the difference between anyone brand from the next. They all look the same.

[@louisdomenico6067]

Yeah especially the Polaris Indy wedge

[@Turppa21]

They look like bugs now have for over a decade so dorky looking

[@Petertrottierrealtor]

I had the purple screamer, 600 triple triple. Loved that sled. I used to smoke my buddy on his 700 Wildcat consistently. He go so mad he went out and bought a Thunder Cat. Ran like a top. Had so much fun on that thing. Big difference from my 22’ Renegade X 850 ! BRP all the way. ✌️

[@PaulBooth-ve3qz]

Bought a new F3 600 that machine still runs great in 2024!

[@scottmcgehee2933]

Ah 1997, when you didn't need to check the weather or trail conditions. There was always deep snow. Or wonder if you should cross the lake if ice was thick enough. The winter weather back then was night and day compared with our warm winters and limited riding area in upstate ny now.

Remember getting this video when I bought my ‘97 Formula 3

[@shperax]

It's amazing how far we have come since then. Those machines would get stuck so easy compared to today. It's challenging to find a spot to get them stuck now.

[@doenjohnjo434]

Ur the man for posting this.. the memories of the Mach Z 😎

[@lucascady4992]

I currently have a 98" Model, I'm excited to see this Video!!

[@robertlarrabee9115]

Nothing like the era of the triple triples! Take me back. The MachZ with the 900 Turbo R 4 Stroke comes with the weight of an anchor and unnecessary complexity of the turbo and associated electronic controls.

[@funtyes1970]

i had 4 stroke snowmobile didnt care for it to much i like 2 stroke snowmobiles to much . i feel like 4 stroke sleds sound like to much like motorcycle to me , and 4 stroke sleds are more heavier sleds then 2 stroke

[@sambuvca22]

To bad it doesnt snow anymore. especially in the north east 😭

[@darylhomegren2943]

Old forge shootout in 97 the polaris 800 storm was the fastest sled

Was back country even a thing back then??

[@horatiohuffnagel7978]

Triples are sweet but they always blow up, doesn't matter which brand. Lol

[@scott6228]

You obviously don't know what you're talking about 🤣

[@scott6228]

All 2 strokes are in self destruct mode as soon as you start them 👍

[@pajamatime5750]

I had way better luck with triples in the 90’s then the twins that replaced them!
