PURE AND WHITE

Nice Nikos,

I never associated Greece with snow like that, just islands with white houses and blue waters by the ocean. :cool: What kind of snow season do you have there? I guess you wouldn't have a snow cat for nothing so theres gotta be enough snow season for warranting a snowcat. Are there any other cats around there?

Greece is an "Island" country with the largest coastline in Europe.
Greece is a world naval power and its fleet is among the largest.
Contrary to these facts, I live on the north west side of the mainland with high mountains, 6 lakes, 2 dams and rivers with natural springs. It is a region known for the cold whether and snowfalls during the winter. The duration of the phenomena, especially in the mountains, is 4 months.
My interest in SNOW Cats started at a young age, as in our area within a radius of 180 km there are 4 Ski centers.
During my military service I have served in units of the Air Force, Special Forces. (Ground Forces), In two Radar Station, including one Tropospheric Scatter Propagation. F/S (NATO). In the radar station, (Ex USA Military Base) there were in servise 2 Thiokol Trackmasters and one Bombardier br200).
I am also a skier, as winter is a period that fascinates and excites me, among the rest.
This SNOW TRAC belonged to the service office of the local electricity company and it was impressive to move in the winter.
After many years, (in2010) I am the proud owner of it.
In my area (Florina) there are intense snowfall phenomena, which usually last two or three days with a significant amount of snow, especially in the mountainous areas (Mountain passes) FOTO.
There are no other snow cat owners, except the operators at the ski resorts. The Fire Service has one, Hagglund BV206, and the Electricity company 2 Prinoth with blade.
I am interested, and I want to deal, with the Out Door Adventures during the winter time. (Huts, Cross ski, Shelters, Snowmobile etc )

Indeed, the snowy plateau, in front of the cabin, looks like as a frozen lake, and the peace and quiet of the landscape, is disturbed by the presence of the Snow Trac.
 
"If I'm ever fortunate enough to visit Greece I want to hang out with Nikos".

Thank you Sheriff. BE MY GUEST.

I am living a few miles 15ml, from the traditional stone building village called Nymphaio Florinas 20-22 sec in the video.


A famous wine growing area.
PJL We will make a great team. Except the winter spots, the beaches are just amazing.
