Skandic 277 - my first new snowmachine. It weighed in at 426 lbs dry weight. Current models average 200 lbs more. I'm thinking the newer models are a whole bunch stronger however.

In 1982, 7 out of 15 Ski-Doo machines, half their line-up, weighed less than 400 lbs. The 1982 Alpine weighed 645 lbs. By contrast the 2015 Skandic weighs between 594 and 655 lbs depending on model. These kinds of weight increases are quite typical across the brands and reflect higher horsepower machines with their bigger engines and more sophisticated suspensions.
