About Ski-Doo
Ski-Doo is BRP's snowmobile brand. BRP's annual information form says that in 1959 the company introduced the first lightweight single-track two-passenger snowmobile under the Ski-Doo name, creating the recreational snowmobile. BRP's brands page describes the brand as delivering winter experiences and calls BRP a pioneer in the snowmobile industry. No dedicated leaf exists for snowmobiles, so it is filed under motorcycles.
