North American, primarily Canadian, term for a snowmobiler — a person who rides a snowmobile. The word derives from Ski-Doo, the dominant snowmobile brand in Canada, which has become so associated with the activity that it functions as a generic term in many Canadian contexts, similar to Hoover for vacuum cleaners.

The trail was well-groomed and busy with skidooers all weekend.
Origin: From 'Ski-Doo', a brand name for snowmobiles manufactured by Bombardier; used generically in Canada for any snowmobile rider. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
