We called em snowmobiles back in the late 60’s early 70’s, then it was as you stated Snowmachine
I called them Ski-Doos back in the mid 60's because that is similar to the very first one I ever saw in Canada. Trapper friend of my Dad bought one to run his trap lines. He dragged a car hood behind to bring back the carcasses. That is a 66 Ski-Doo. Sales didn't really take off in the states until 68 or 69.
