Something came up in my discussion with buddies and some other friends on the note of "costs" affiliated w/renting or using a snowcat for various trips in the Cascades.
This is scenario onto which we are trying to put a price tag:
Delivery of a group of people (6-8) with minimal gear (all the necessities) to a snow/winter camp location to a lake for a snow play/ice fishing/various winter recreation.
So basically, how much would it be reasonable to pay PER PERSON, to have someone on a snowcat transport you to a location say 15-20 miles one way for a few days, and than come back and pick you up and get you back to your vehicle (another 15-20 miles).
Anyone doing this? Anyone got any numbers in mind?
p.s. in this example to make things simple, say we are using something like a Thiokol SuperImp 1450 with a rear cab that comfortably seats 8 people with gear on the top rack and sleds if needed. Snowcat transportation costs are not a necessary number to input, due to the fact that everyone stores them at different places and uses different means of transporting them as well.
