In the same day we hit 2 world class ski resorts. after I got done at aspen I took the 743 over to Beaver Creek for the men's world cup race where the it was parked at the bottom of the Birds of pray run. Did any of you see it on national TV?

I thank the lord for it all the time. prayer seems to be the best tool in the tool box with a tucker.

That road was a sheet of ice and I slide back about 50ft. The backbone rep Mike said it should be fine cause the buses where making it up. The buses had chains on lol. so I made a spit second decision to go for it and ended up back at the bottom moments later. a Pisten bully pulled the whole rig out.
This was the second time I got stuck that day. Colorado has been getting hammered with snow. thought I had a good snow tire with the goodyear dura track but guess it was not enough. so the next day I went out and bought chains for the haul truck.

Yeah, that’s looks a bit scary but real lucky at the same time.
I’ll admit that’s I had a little scare myself this year on my one and only time out. Hit ice on the way up the hill and had the truck and trailer fishtailing a bit. Fortunately we were going up hill and I was able to get it corrected ok. However there was a rollover right behind me. I was wondering where the line up of cars went! I didn’t it see it but heard about it when we stopped.
Be careful out there folks.
Glad this turned out ok too.

everyone asked if I put it in the ditch on purpose and the answer was no. I had no control of the rig once it started sliding.

On a better note .
Next we will be building the ultimate roof rack for the Tincup Tucker it should be ready for the next event.
I'm also open to all suggestions about the roof rack. it will run almost the full length of the cat. I also think we are going to have to reinforce the roof supports. on the rack will hold snowboards/ski, camera gear, cases of whisky, speakers, light bars, and a tepui tent. going to go all out with this so we can haul more gear and have room for nothing but people on the inside.

Although it would distract from the cat a four bar linkage roof rack that comes down to the ground hydraulically so you load everything on the ground would be cool......

I guess sliding backwards with a truck, trailer and snowcat is just a right of passage for a snowcat owner. I have slid backwards on a steep hill, done a 180 and pushed my truck and trailer down the road while loading the cat. Now I turn around if I'm uncomfortable and it's already worked out in my favor. I recommend Bridgestone Blizzack, they come in 10ply.
Hey Aaron, have you seen the Timberline lodge 443? It's roof rack is really nice and in my opinion what you should replicate.

looking into the future and I see a 2 ton tucker freighter trailer as the best way to go, no climbing up ice covered ladders, sliding off the road, or spilling the tin cup
seriously, A.T. I would build pull behind 2 or 4 ski trailer, can be patterned from a original tucker sno cat cat or build to your own or NM outdoors design, either way, far far far more useful......

I’ll take a 1/2 ton Tucker trailer while your at it.
Do you think the fact that there is not a GM vehicle towing plays a role here ?
I know that lots of stuff on my roof rack falls of and I don’t go far. Bet my trailer would keep
it safe.

"I guess sliding backwards with a truck, trailer and snowcat is just a right of passage for a snowcat owner."
Then I guess I'm in that club too. Driving uphill F-350 in 4WD. All forward motion ceases, and I'm only feet from the top. No sweat, I'll put it in park, set the brake and I'll winch it. Oh no. It starts sliding backwards. I have to keep my foot firmly planted on the brakes. I can't get out of the truck. Luckily I had a guy behind me who came up and setup the winch pull. We ended up taking the cat off the trailer so the 9,000 lb winch didn't burn itself to death.
The rest of the day sucked too but at least nothing was wrecked.

I appreciate the input and thought of what you have told me before but Tincup is set on the roof rack. they want to be able to stand on it at events and be above the crowed. Also new sponsor Tepui wants there tent on the tucker.
