Canada is practically synonymous with snow and boasts some of the snowiest places in the world, including St. John's and Québec City. It comes as no surprise, then, that the nation is the birthplace of the snowmobile.
The motorized sled was invented in 1922 by 15-year-old Joseph-Armand Bombardier and eventually patented and commercialized in 1937.
