| That's when I came to work for Vail Resorts in 1984 as a snowcat operator in the winter. |
|
| Our route links temporarily into sprawling ski area trails groomed by a snowcat. |
|
| During one winter on Hood, high winds blew out a window in a snowcat being used for a rescue. |
|
| Half an hour later, we were convincing the snowcat driver that the there was plenty of snow for him to rebuild the ramp into the longest rail at the park. |
|
| All food and supplies have to be brought in by snowcat or helicopter. |
|
| Nate, the snowcat mechanic, gave me a ride over the pass to the Chevron in Garden City in his ancient Ford, its hefty exhaust leak filling the cab with fumes. |
|
| Snowcat with wind attachment for the preparation of the ski jumping facilities. |
|
| That afternoon we were taken by snowcat to one of Longyearbyen's beautiful ice caves. |
|
| We went up the mountain by SUV, helicopter, snowcat, and snowmobile. |
|
| And with powder snowcat skiing, where snowmobiles instead of ski lifts take you to the best snow, available nearby at Buffalo Pass, there's no risk of getting bored. |
