Bob,
Welcome aboard ! Leavenworth is a great place to hook up with all the vintage snow cats and operators .his year is going to be a great one with all the snow the area is receiving.
I don't mind the reference to vintage sno-cats, but vintage operators? Your day will come.

Wow ! Guess that means your going to show up for the Snow Cat Jamboree to have that talk !
:big grin: Hope to see you there
The local snowmobile club had its annual family playday on Mt Baker yesterday. With all the gear to haul, it sure was nice for Mr. Prez to bring out his Thiokol and make light work of it all. It hadn't been out since Timberline and purred like a kitten. The rear deck also doubled as a cooking platform for the large grill. Hope to see it at the jamboree!
I didn't have much trouble on that trip. I did speed up when they started catching up to the tracks. I could have set a speed record for me that day.
one heaver load on a very steep incline we put a snowmobile on the back and put it in reverse. that one had a large bbq on skis and toboggans.
25 days till Leavenworth jamboree.

Please excuse a few of the photos in this they won't mean anything to anyone but myself. I made the video for my wife.
If you like it you might enjoy making the trip to Leavenworth WA the weekend of Feb 19th.

Good Evening Everyone,
My name is Frederique. I am in NE Iowa. I am new to this forum. You probably heard this story often but I had the Matchbox Snow Trac as a kid and that started a fascination with SnowCats in General. The Jamboree sounds like it could be a fun event to attend and meet folks with the same interest. Sadly not yet an owner but hoping to change that in the near future!
I wanted to see if some of you could tell me more about the event, will it be worth attending for a non owner? Places to stay etc.
I thank you all in advance for your input.
Cheers.
Frederique B.

YES YES YES, come out to a Jamboree, one, two, or take in all three, you will meet great people, see a wide variety of machines, including the toy snow-tracs, more than one person will be happy to have you ride along (quite sure they tell how wonderful their sno-cat is, and why you should buy one just like it ), and the stories, alone, would make the trip to Jamboree, well worth you coming ............

The video is just what I needed today! Got me off the fence about going back to Timberline. thanks!
Welcome to the addiction Frederique. The Leavenworth WA Jamboree is Feb 18-21. Thurs and Fri the machines will be at the motor inn and many lies are told among the owners and those interested. Saturday is the running of the cats and you can use the first lie telling days to find a place in a cat if you want to see them in their natural habitat. Here is the contact info for the inn: http://www.derritterhof.com/ Be sure to tell them that you are with the snowcat jamboree for a discounted price. If they are full there are many nice places to stay in Leavenworth.

Y'all should have plenty of snow. There is presently about 3' in 11worth, and although we are headed for a warm/wet stretch this week it's not going to melt all this snow in 3 weeks.
I know that this should go on "for sale" thread, but this is not something I want to ship so I am seeing if anyone coming to 11worth is interested. It came with my cat but I took it off because I never used it and it got in way of snow removal. New version is here:

Don't be alarmed at price for new one, version I have is older and is not remote control. I'm thinking around $125. If anybody is interested PM me for details.

That's awesome! Thanks. Super psyched. I am new to this so I'll be happy with either! They both look wicked Bad A$$
Thanks again.

Thanks again.

Depending which route you choose, the distance is approximately 2.5 hrs driving from SeaTac airport to Leavenworth. My guess would be that 4x4 will not be necessary, but you never know what curve balls mother nature has in store. If it were me, I'd reserve a 2wd. Just my opinion though. You can always check pass conditions when you arrive and adjust as necessary.
