Snowcat Picture Thread

Hi all... use this thread to post any and all snowcat pictures you'd like to share.

I'll get us started.

This is our new passenger cat at Sugarbush. The cab came from Ski Cooper, CO, and was mounted on one of our 300's. Nice fresh coat of paint:

And here's the interior:

And our old '77 Tucker also got a paint job:

We have two cats on-campus at Colorado Mountain College for teaching, and for maintaining a network of nordic trails and a local race practice hill. These were the cats we used last year. The BR-400 is still in operation, but we traded in the PB160 for the machine in the final picture.

And here's the brand new PB100 that we took delivery of a couple weeks ago. Plastic is still on the seats! Great little cat for our nordic grooming:

One from years past. Sure was work to spend 8 hours of grooming in a Tucker.

Hey! This site promises great potential. This pic is not a groomer, but I think it's a cool rig, anyway!

I built it in the shop this past summer (on weekends!)

Mickey Thompson gave me those Claws for using them in Top Truck Challenge 2007. I took an all ski area team with me to Hollister, CA and we had a blast! I have alot of pics from that and wheeling here, in N. Idaho, if anyone's interested.

This is the CMC BR400 parked at my house during Ski Joring. I have been building the course for over 15 years and it entails blocking off 6 blocks of main street dumping about 110 trucks of snow and grooming a 6-8" deep three pass wide course with three 8-10 foot jumps and three 3-4 foot jumps. Then the crazies go 30 mph behind a galloping horse while landing the jumps and spearing rings on a timed event.

Last winter at the homestead saw seven feet of the white stuff on the ground. It must be global warming.
