Diablo 50 mile ride

Two Diablo Rouge and a Boa Ski take a 50 mile ride on the trails around Naubinway Michigan in February of 2009. What started out to be a pleasure ride ended up being a test of endurance and a whole lot of fun. The sleds and owners were in town for the Top of the Lake snowmobile show in support of the Top of the Lake Snowmobile Museum.

nice video! I've always wanted to try out one of those bolens... What's the song in the background? catchy tune...

Thanks. This is the "Snowmobile Song" from Stompin' Tom's album My Stompin' Grounds. Recorded by Stompin Tom in 1972 under exclusive license to EMI.

I think this is one Tom's best albums and obviously one of the best songs!

I had a machine just like this in alaska 45 years ago. I have been looking for information about these units.

Was there any other simular makers? thanks

Jerry the Hus Ski was the forerunner of the Bolens. It was a yellow unit in the same style as the Diablo.

Awesome, I just rode my '63 snowtraveler 16 miles yesterday. It sure is fun to hear people comment on your old sled. Nice video with a great tune.
