I have three in Minnesota at my folk's place, a '73 Ski Doo Olympique 340, a '76 John Deere 300, and a '71 Moto Ski Capri 338.
Then there are the two Ski Doos at my in laws in southwest Virginia, they don't get much snow there but when they do we have some fun.

The '69 is totally gutted getting some new metal welded in under the seat and the in chassis tank cut open to be cleaned out.
