1968 Ski-Doo Super Alpine 370 "FIRST START!" 

The iconic Ski doo the work horse of all sleds. PERIOD..

I only ever saw a Super Alpine 370 once in my life in early 1975, it was a late '60s model still used as a workhorse to drag the water-hoses up the hill at the local ski area for snowmaking. It was also used to pull the Ski Patrol stretcher up and down the hill when someone broke a leg, and had to be taken to the Ambulance waiting in the parking lot. Plenty of power, and no doubt you could drag a small tree out of the bush with one of these bad-boys.

My grandpa had one and used it for ice fishing ! Wish I had it in my collection now. Good video

Hey.....Nice vid.......These are diamonds in the rough and that makes them beautiful.

I really enjoyed your video getting the old '68 Ski-Doo Alpine running again, I can remember these machines in the late '60's in the dealer as new snowmobiles for sale. I was hooked by that time at 14 years old and the first sled I owned was a Sno-Jet 440 wide-track around 1971, then in 1974 I purchased a Rupp Nitro II 440 and still have it to this day! For the gas in the mouth problem when siphoning can be remedied by using a longer piece of clear hose so you can see the fuel coming and get the hose end out of your mouth.....my other advice is if you haven't already, use the ethanol-free fuel, that's available here in Denver Colorado, in these old sleds, makes a difference as the ethanol eats up the rubber fuel lines and it loves water......my $0.02 cents worth.

Worked on a few of those...heavy pigs that didn"t steer worth a crap! If you got stuck you walked home!

Even the single cyl. Alpine kicked ass. You really got a true gem. I am very interested in the 370, although I never had one. Nice Alpine.👍

Never had any luck with Bosch plugs...especially in our 71 Olympic! And I wouldn't put Champions in a lawnmower!

Nice job

Your channel should have a lot more viewers and subscribers! Real good content on the vintage sleds!!! Love it. We just purchased a 1977 Yamaha Prestige 440 (and I drive old vintage shit too - 1977 F150, 1972 Roadrunner). Loving the content!

very nice old sleds..ive had a few of those lol..very interesting video, i would show how the old sleds break a trail compaired to the new sleds that just dig there own grave leaving or breaking a trail from dead start ..and they dont have no front belly pan to hold them up. the old sleds could float on the snow ive seen new sleds that have no front belly pan under them and they just get buried in the deep snow. im in maine and ive seen a bit of snow in my time lol..i was born in 72 so ive seen the old sleds do alot..alot more than these sleds that need parts all the time the new sleds allways have somthing that goes to heck or eat tons of fuel..nope id take a old skido or an old cat 440 any day over these computer infected no grip sleds they make now, after all your running sleds there on this video that are over 40 years old still running! thank you for your video :)

Great video! Thanks! I'm trying to find an old Alpine myself.

we had one of those new .a cargo towing sled for out on the homestead.

I've just found your channel and quite enjoy the content and straight forward approach. I've got a few Arctic Cats from the 70's and just picked up a 72 Lynx. I wanted to share with you the experience I had with a friend last weekend who collects Cat's . He has 8 in his garage, most of them are wide mouth Puma's... but the real gems are the two he has 70 and 71 that have never been fueled up and run outside of the factory. Brand new and waiting for a rip. Anyway Just thought I'd let you know you have a good channel. I'm in Saskatchewan.

That thing still running?!? Holy shit!

Always fun to run a classic

Nice sled, Fun sled, nice collection.

Have never run thinner than 32:1 oil mix in those old sleds! They say the oil is better today...that isn't the issue...its the old style bearings and bushings in the engine your dealing with,and a less effecient oiling system!

she sounds Awesome !

Any older Bombardier, has a lighting coil, with no regulator, it is matched to the head lights and tail lights combined wattage, the headlights are normally around 35 watts, but the tali light bulbs are only 1 watt each, so if you blow a head lights bulb, or in your case don't have them hooked-up the extra amperage has no where to go and toasts the rear bulbs, led or incandescent.

My dad had a opposed engine like that in a olympics, back in late 60s, it was always a hard one to keep running, and he said it would rip his clove off when pulling it over. 😉lol

Injured my back terrible trying to start one of these.

subscribed and now bell notified !

Good video, keep up the good work!

When they say, “super alpine” take the soup!

Bruh... I'm already up on a tripod...

She's not hook'in up enough to bust that ski into the sky from off the line start, perhaps a studded track is in order for this ole gal ?

Cool, 40 to 1 will be ok.

I never understood why Skidoo put 370 opposed engines in those Alpines. Big old tanks like that need Rotax 640 big blocks to push them well. Cool anyways. Never seen a Rotax opposed run in person.

i love the alpines but i really dislike this year because of how the hood looks. theres a 67 near me i want it! ive always wanted a alpine

That's the original tank

Gas in the beard been there, done that lol

I need rings for my 370 opposed

Put stock lights on that and you'll br fine. You can't run leds on those without a converter. Not worth the hassle..I hate them.

or 2?

Old so old one ski wow

Great channel, I enjoy your content. Now, you did it Wrong. Please stop doing it Wrong. Gasoline has been linked to both blood and neurological problems. Make your siphon tube longer and put a loop or two in the line. Then suck on the tube and the fluid in the loops will allow you enough time to pull away before you get a mouth full. Done.

До сих пор начиная с 71 года выпускается в России адаптированная версия. С длинной и короткой базой. Что то между супер ал и вальмонт. Только двигателя такого не было никогда. Сначала стоял ротакс. Название "Буран 640" и далее)))

Most sleds from this era ran a 20 to 1 mix.

Carbs set too rich!

I found a set on ebay
