Very cool. I have spent many years operating snowcats in northern Canada opening up winter roads. I am now on a pipeline project in the mountains running a Hagglund, waist deep snow and it's still falling. Decent way to make living I must say.
UK calling. Back in the 1950s after a lecture in London on the Trans Antarctic Expedition, I was lucky enough to sit in one of the Snow-cats which reached the South Pole, with Sir Vivian Fuchs team.
So glad everybody likes the snowcat jamboree video . Stay tuned for more snowcat adventures and gear reviews. I n March we will be going to the 2020 snow cat jamboree. I will have the opportunity to interview some of the snow cat owners. Remember, everything's better when you're Bound for Adventure.
Never heard of a Snowcat until having watched Adventures with Purpose pulling one out of that once frozen lake in Oregon. Got me interested in exactly what that thing is. It looks like y'all have quite the good time together. Cheers from a place it never snows.
I've been around sno-cats all my life, now, keep in mind that the ONLY sno-cats here are the ones made by tucker! these machines are mostly the 4 tracked ones, a couple of the 2 track snow trucks might be actual sno-cats but otherwise there not sno-cats actually dont take a lot of maintenance at all, just basic track tensioning, greasing, and oil changes will do everything you need, they'll run for years and pretty much maintenance free other than the basics found with any other vehicle
Out here in northern Ontario I use my 2003 trail boss snow cat all time, groom my own trails for snowmobiling. She pulls a 20’ drag and I mean pulls threw 3 feet snow ❄️.
This is so Awesome . I didn’t know people owned their own snocats/groomers. Would be sweet to bomb around anywhere you wanted to go with one. I like the 4 track models. They look so cool. I’m guessing these probably cost a pretty penny? Can these machines actually get stuck though in to deep of snow? Keep the cool vids coming.
I've seen some vehicles working the pipelines here on the 3rd coast that are similar... it'd be a fun mod to mount a skoolie on a snow cat type chassis...
That white Tucker from Newe Jersey, is it 1643? It appears to have the long (7 bogie) tracks, but it appears to be the C-28 version with the narrower 28" tracks instead of the 38" tracks?
@Dave Iauco Wondering if it's the same. We called it the "Avalanche Rocket". It was the same 2.75" diameter with fold out fins. They were the same rocket motors used on the Apache attack helicopters. Thanks
Id come from massachusets if i had money time and a snow cat that would be lots of fun its so much better to go out for hours in the larger groups to be safe .
I love that a lot of the owners kept them looking original. I like the classic look, not super modded.
I grew up skiing and snowboarding and enjoyed seeing the groomer snowcats. I love the classic Tuckers and such.
Great, now I need a Snowcat.
wooodrow99 agree I just found a new hobby I didn’t know I needed
I need one too, and I live in Phoenix!
Michael Rosenfield I’m in Prescott😂

Well... i cant handle it any more...yesterday i found out i need a bulldozer, today i need a snowcat😂
Very cool.

I’m jealous
I can’t watch this without thinking of the shining
This is amazing. I have to get to Colorado asap

I like the beer keg. No ice needed.
bellboy407 no foam? Not on that guys watch. Looks like the best time that northern Indiana doesn’t have to offer.
Great video! I am a ATV & snowmobile guy. This snowcat scene is way to the next level. Cheers from the Finger Lakes!
Great post. Looks like you guys had a blast!

Love the tucker with the keg!
I've always liked these machines. Much better than any snowmobile.
Company I work for has a thiokol imp. It's the coolest thing. Even has 60-70's Era carpet on the walls!
Holy shit, that looks like a riot-fun I meant. I live in. Northern Ontario and would love a snowcat.
cant wait to see this years Video!
That looks like a lot of fun
Great video!! Looks like a great time! Should make a venture your way from Maine!!
Yes, cone visit Colorado. Maine is pretty cool too!
The Carnivore Caveman Keto Couple oh ya!! Maine’s definitely beautiful in the winter seasons!!!
Great fun. Spent some time grooming at Terry Peak SD early 80’s. If I had the money I’d adopt a Thiokol 2100. Dream😏💭
Go get 'em JB!
You guys could really put your machines thru their paces in Truckee California right now

That’s was cool keep up the great job keep sending the video
Thanks!

Its pretty popular here in Colirado to own your own. Most of them are older. And yes, the smaller ones can get stuck. That's s nightmare.
New sno cat cost probably close to million
Yes its possible to get stuck. But experience on these machines goe sc a long way. And getting experience is difficult.
envy. how do i can experience riding one of them
Where would you find a used one. I’d rather find one that needs work so I can customize to my own liking.

how do the hagglunds stack up against the snowcats?

Aaaand now it’s time to go to Craigslist
Wish jersey got snow like that. Would never have to seek out the deep powder
I so want a snowcat now!

When is 2023 event?
Pretty sure it's on Vail pass again.
I was wondering if they still use small rockets fired from the roadside to mitigate avalanches. I used to work for the company that made them.
@Dave Iauco Wondering if it's the same. We called it the "Avalanche Rocket". It was the same 2.75" diameter with fold out fins. They were the same rocket motors used on the Apache attack helicopters. Thanks
Lots of maintenance, eh?
Random Guy yeah and lots and lots of money
Yep but mechnis by trade love the work. More of a hobby
I can think of cheaper hobbies, but probably not as much fun!
My budy has old single cab with Chrysler 300 streight six and it has balls and its pritty fast goes as fast as you want a snow cat
Id come from massachusets if i had money time and a snow cat that would be lots of fun its so much better to go out for hours in the larger groups to be safe .
Can you take your truck on tracks or is it just for snowcats?
Yes you can bring tracked trucks
What country is it in and in which Area ?
Vail Pass, Colorado in the center of the United States.
Nice.....!!!!!!
I'm surprised that Polis hasn't signed an executive order forcing snowcats to be electric. 😅
You need a lot of coin to own 1 of these toys!
Any Pistenbullies show up to crash the party?
I. WISHED. I. NEVER. HAD. SOLD. BOTH. MY. #1. OLD. ONES ☝!!!!!!!!!! 😎
WHY. ARE. YOU. TYPING. LIKE. THIS?
