Vehicle Information
Ski-Doo Elite 444 Snowmobile (1978-1980)
The Ski-Doo Elite, a unique side-by-side two-seater snowmobile, was reintroduced in 1978 and produced through 1980. This period featured significant updates from its earlier iteration. The Elite was generally offered as a single model, powered by a liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder Rotax engine. Displacement was consistently cited as 440 or 444 cc, though the 1980 450LC model had a 436 cc displacement. It was positioned as a luxury model, offering features such as electric start and heated handgrips. The 1978 model year marked a significant reintroduction and update for the Elite. After being discontinued in 1976, it returned with a more modern powerplant, a liquid-cooled 444 twin, and a contemporary slide suspension, replacing the antiquated bogie system. The 1978 to 1980 models were characterized by this new engine and updated suspension. While there were no distinct "trims" in the conventional sense, the model was sometimes referred to with suffixes like "444E LC" or "450LC" to denote its engine type and liquid-cooled nature. FAQ:
