Motorized snow vehicles have a long history in Canada and many other northern countries beginning in the early 20th century. These vehicles, which date from 1968-1993, represent a variety of themes in the history of the snowmobile in Canada. The Skiroule SnoPro 250 specifically for the SnoPro racing circuit created by the United States Snowmobile Association (USSA) in 1973. The SnoPro designation represented a professional racing circuit where companies built machines specifically for racing. This 1976 Skiroule was driven by Gilles Villeneuve (who had previously raced Allouette machines) during his final year of competitive snowmobile racing. He won a number of races on this sled in 1976 before retiring to take up F-1 driving fulltime. - Function

The Sno Pro 250 has an aluminum frame, and a fiberglass hood that encases a Kohler 2 cylinder, 250 cc engine. This 2-stroke engine lubricated with a blended gasoline, and is fed by two Mikuni VM-36 carburetors. The Sno Pro's skis are rather short - Area Notes
