As the mercury in the thermometer continues to climb and the snow finally begins to ebb, hope for warmer days on the water begins to spring as much as the grass. But, that’s not to say that our friends in Canada are zipping up their lifevests just yet. Unfortunately, much of the Great White North continues to be well, white. Yet, that’s not to say they’re not scratching their PWC itch.
One such enthusiast is inventor Christophe Paquin who figured out possibly the best marriage of a standup ski and a snowmobile. The Québec resident reapplied a Rotax 670 motor to a repurposed snowmobile, employing the same traditional twin skis and tread platform. While the prototype is a little rough around the edges, it’s still impressive how well the rider input works so well with the snowmobile’s format.
If you live along the coastlines, then yeah, enjoy your eternal summer. But for so many other PWC enthusiasts, this might be one way to keep on riding even when the white stuff is still covering most the earth.
