The CollectionTwin trackers, Blizzards, 250s, Moto-Skis, 340s, 440s, Sno Pros, 650s, and a stunning set of 1979 racers… you name it, this Ski-Doo museum likely has it. In addition to the sleds there is memorabilia including autographed helmets, leathers, goggles, jackets and posters by the likes of Duhamel, Goodwin, and more. There are several Eagle River Derby winning sleds as well as numerous limited production, or first production, models, including a 1973 440 Blizzard with serial no. 1.
Pretty impressive.Among the most interesting pieces of memorabilia is a program from the 1969 Eagle River Derby in which several widely known celebrities, including TV newsman Peter Jennings and Green Bay Packer quarterback Bart Starr (among other famous Packers), competed and are listed on the program's pages.
Did you know that Moto-Ski also made a MiniBike? Yep, you can see that here too!
In the museum alone there are more than 47 sleds, but Joann and Kurt have countless others in pieces and in various states of restoration in a second storage area at the other end of their property. The actual museum has radiant floor heating, is well insulated, and is kept dry and warm year round. The Kruegers actually have viewing parties in the museum for family and friends with a large projector using the back of the huge garage door as a 20+ foot screen!
Reader resourceKurt and Joann are a fantastic resource for any vintage snowmobiler, and especially those interested in vintage Ski-Doos. In addition to being able to restore hoods, engines, suspensions, tunnels, graphics, seats, and just about anything else on a sled, the Kruegers can help you find that rare or sentimental vintage sled that you just must have.
Museum tours are by appointment only and Joann and Kurt only take on a limited number of restorations each year, so if you really want something special done for you, better call early! More info: www.provintageperformance.com
