okay,

the original block of rooms are now all reserved,

I have requested and was given additional rooms and they are available now,

I will hold them only till November 30th 2019,

so, for those that are still thinking, might be best to make your reservation very soon,

otherwise you will be thinking about what you missed,

so many great people are coming and sure looks like it will be EPIC

if no snow tracs and Kristi come, so be it, no snow tracs or kristis',

the rest of us will have a wonderful time and thank you to all that are coming....

It's getting bigger and better all the time, It took just a little push from the Tye one on cat for me to sign up and now everyone want to go. Who would have thunk I was so popular? And yes Mikemikelle we will have a grand time representing both sides of the plateau.

thought it might be a good idea to get my old tucker out, get a couple things fixed and or repaired, it might need more than a couple of things, oh well, best not to wait to the last minute

sure would be embarrassing if I did not have a cat ready for snow cat serenade 2020...

OO, good so far, add exhaust, radiator issues, alternator, starter, tune up, clean up wiring, new hoses, replace hood side panels, (checking stock) and etc etc don't want to be the one with the broken down machine, oh yeah got to add lots and lots of LED light bars, so the space shuttle can see the forest all lit up...


do have a good source on brake/clutch, BSI in Havana on the Willamette, so many of good parts/repair/radiator shops are going away so fast, dang dang dang

If you follow WBJ1's "Over-Kill-O-Wattage" LED Light philosophy, you'll need either a higher output alternator or a second alternator....

thinking a Honda 50 kw generator on a tucker snow cat power light trailer, pretty much keep up with everyone...

:walking gator: Gathering of old grousers on the 4th of July? Challenge accepted by the Sqwrl (He is a professional driver so pinks should be no problem). The deeper and wetter the better since the Kt-4 up for the challenge has some tricks up her sleeve! If by some chance the Sqwrl fails am I allowed to be in the essay contest? :th_lmao:

…… so, just a ''minor'' overhaul...lol... also add another alt. & battery for all the extra lights …. lol. tried to google bsi, no webpage,... must be ''old school'' shop.... same around here, the old repair shops are fading away, the younger generation want nothing to do with manual labor/ getting dirty, etc... our trades are in danger for sure,.... if you have a phone number , or better yet ...a p/n for a rerbuild kit,...much appreciated,...thx p/p....

adding a extra alternator and battery would work for everyone else, but not for the PP,

I will be needing the extra lighting...

cuz, at the steep and deep competition, know for a fact, the power paddled 543 will win and everyone else will want to keep trying and that will go very late into night and more than likely into the early morning hours, and will only come to an end, when they run out of GAS, I just want to make sure they have a very well lit hill so there will be NO EXCUSES.

Game Over...


:eatdrink::eatdrink::eatdrink:



PS. KT4, best start working on your essay, topic " what went wrong"

I'm surprised the Snow Trac mafia are not merely under-represented, but completely without representation.

I thought maybe it was because they were concerned about having to contend with deep snow, and/or high elevation. (Both of which might put them at a significant disadvantage.)

But I did some research and, believe it or not, the site of the Clowder, Big Powderhorn Mountain in Michigan, gets almost as much annual snowfall as Sun Valley!

Big Powderhorn:

  • Projected Opening Projected Closing12/15/2019 04/01/2020
  • Days Open Last Year
    100
  • Projected Days Open
    108
  • Years Open
    55
  • Average Snowfall
    214"

Sun Valley:

  • Projected Opening Projected Closing11/28/2019 04/19/2020
  • Days Open Last Year
    149
  • Projected Days Open
    137
  • Years Open
    83
  • Average Snowfall
    220"

In terms of elevation, Big Powderhorn's base is 1,200', and the Summit is 1,800', with a vertical drop of only 600'. Sun Valley on the other hand has a base elevation of 5,750', a Summit of 9,150, and a vertical drop of 3,400.

So maybe it's the elevation and the topography that's keeping the Snow Trac mafia back home; safe and sound in their warm garages?

no worries, BFT, the "Bear", the snow track are coming! the key chains will be in Sun Valley, warm and safe in the cabs of tucker snow cats

,..... that's awesome, much appreciated,... I like those choices,... not sure where to hide the 1000lb. lithium battery...lol. tesla electrical fires have been on the news quite a bit lately,....

ah, I will put the Tesla battery in the tucker snow cat trailer...

or how about a LS engine

or a rousch 302 with super charger,

or just maybe just put the 340-six pack, back in, and call it good

nice work VB, in getting your 423 ready to challenge the back country of the Sawtooths of Idaho, do take a few minutes and look at the pontoons and rollers

time to get your machine in the shop/garage and give it, a good once over and maybe a couple times on the snow before the 'snow cat serenade'

so pleased with the great response and who is coming, truly a gathering of the faithful snow catters, great people...thank you

fyi, rumor has it, our first Snow Tracker has made reservations
