A Snow Cat Tour

Here is a nice Tucker 442A near Foresthill, CA. The cat and "caboose" are used to ferry guests to a winter lodge.

vance, i need to know more . that caboose.. Is that that a 72 chevy , crew cab?? Or some kind of chopped suburban???
 
At the base of Mount Washington.
The 2 yellow cats are used to maintain the Auto Road and take the crew up to the weather station at the top of the mountain. There is another one with a man-cab.

The red PB is used to groom the cross-country trails around the base area.

Spotted this little gem a block from my house. Got to take a good look at her. Looks like she has allot of nice features in the cab but not much room for anything. That's one complaint I have running the BR160 is that there's not much room for storage inside the cab. Other than that, this looks like a nice cat to operate. It appears to be very similar in size to the BR160/180. I do like the blade setup on it. Looks like it could move a whole lot of snow.

This one is used to help in building the winter ice roads heading north. You've all seen the show "Ice Road Truckers"? Well, every winter, there are ice roads strung out all over northern ontario going into the reservations. They have haul enough supplies in during the 2 months that the roads are open to supply the reserves for a year. My dad hauled on the ice road two years ago and said it's very similar to the show on tv although the tv show has allot of "made for tv" stuff added to it.

Anyways, enjoy!!!
