First ski doo I drove was a brand new '76 elan 300SS that my dad bought. I was 8. Loved that sled! Would love to find one again someday!

I have a 74..love it. The only modification I did was widen the ski stance and put 2" blocks on top of the springs...lot more stable.

Loved my twin cylinder Elan, went anywhere but sure rode rough .

I can’t believe these were actually only made for 25 years and it’s now been 27 years since they ceased production. They seemed like they were everywhere and would always be available. I loved my 1979 Elan twin cylinder passed down from my brother.

Fun little sleds. Light, reliable and reasonably priced.

Love the sound of the twin 16 and 22 hp Elans.

we had an elan, back in 79-81, in inuvik. it was one of 3 snow machines we owned. we had faster ones, but this was, by far, my fav, for overall fun in the snow. it could go anywhere.

Great memories my 88 elan is mint . Never owned a car just trucks I can honestly say I have driven a elan more kms than a car. Used them on my trapline from 74 to 2001 was so reliable never had the feeling if it broke down I couldn’t fix it to get home. Modem machines are more reliable but if it breaks out in bush you can’t fix them.

I still have 3. One is a 294 SS. Such great machines.

[stevenwithanS]

That thumbnail looks like one of my pictures of my elans, lol.

[claudemarchand]

it is the citroen 2cv of the snowmobiles

[kevinpezzi]

The snowmobiling industry is fizzling in part because it no longer makes simple, fun machines like the Ski-doo Elan.

The videos sound is muffled for some reason
