Ramen... ate so much of that in college that I will only hit my stock of 10 cases ONLY when the SHTF and the zombies come out.

Whiskey... got pleny of that too, but the more I stay home in these wierd time, the more I go through. (note to self: buy more Jack.)

:B

Costco Canadian Whiskey, all I can say is try it...
I love Ramen, but we butchered cattle in college, so didn't have to eat Ramen. We were the poor college kids cooking T Bones and pot roast for dinner!
Don't you live on the Western Slope somewhere? We used to ride the Flattops and Grand Mesa alot...2 of my all time favorite snomachine spots.

I used to race snow machines back when the free air was the machine to beat..LOL..Just sold my last one,last year and I can say,I sure would not want to stick that unit with or without the truck camper..A winch would be a must and even that wouldn't help in alot of cases..Just sticking a snowmobile is a terrible experience sometimes..

Just like truck campers on a pickup,the weight can be your friend or your worse enemy in snow..

This is a whiskey party.
Those with beer can bury them in the snow.

Just like Jeeps being lifted on top of the mountains for advertisement pictures.
At the end, it does sound like weigh police after all.

I doubt that is deep powder.

It’s real folks this snowcat operates with the camper. The company developed a modified camper jack system to unload the camper including a breakdown situation on the snowfield if necessary. They carry the jacks on board.

And use the camper on a std pickup in the off season.

Snowcats weigh too much to go thru powder, even with wider tracks. Top speed for this one with the blade and tiller up under ideal conditions is 15 mph tops. Not near enough speed to "blast" through the snow like snowmobiles do. They will just dig down. You start early in the season when the snow is not real deep and pack it down..

I see no weight issues. Just watch the bridge ratings.

LMAO!!

That was pretty funny and I was going to quote the same thing except I'd need tequila and not whiskey.

And, I'd never own a snowmobile. :B LOL

The snowcat is one of my work vehicles, sorry to have mislead.

During the winter months I work for Utah State Parks OHV Program and have been grooming snowmobile trails for about 8 years now.

Looks Specta, like your Snowcat has narrower tracks, when those in article are much wider. Could that make the difference going on powder?
What's the purpose of Snowcat, when it can go only on packed trails?
Engine repair is not fan even when you have the vehicle in front of your house.

Of course, the point was that OP “could” have said what his post was about instead of putting a fake subject with a one word link.
