WTB nice 4+ person cat with a blade.

I'm curious as to the background, details and the USFS rules. Could you please explain.

See page 13 & 14 on this document below for the Southern Rockies. Limiting the miles of compacted snow routes has apparently been interpreted to mean limiting the miles to the level they were at some point previously (2008?). And "compaction" now means groomed/packed, not merely that someone as passed over it. So to groom a few miles of road for XC skiing, there has to be some mileage given up someplace else. There are a few routes that were groomed for snowmobiles in our Forest previously, so those miles can now be used elsewhere, the Forest Service just has to decide where.

OMG, lock the gates! Call the guards. Someone stole the BumbleBee Tucker!

Didn't have it for sale, but it did not get used for 2 years,too many others.and lack of snow. It went to good people that are going to use it. Its not perfect but a nice cat. It was Airforce blue from the factory. It would have been better orange.

The next 743 freighter will be orange, its white now!

son of a .......................

I need to learn to say dibbs louder..............

those tucker hunters are something.....

They see some snow trac tires go up for sale... wait till the weak get all excited about upgrading their rides with new shoes, then just swing in and causally export a freighter right over the plains, I almost said Mississippi river, not sure if that twisty little creek is east or west or north or all three from the compound.

good times.
Congratulations on selling Brads cat does he know about it yet?

Will the Bumblebee Tucker fly in to McCall this February?

Its a possibility . I think you guys should come to Vail CO, where we can catski and get stuck . Me and my wife have talked about going to McCall . I think we would make it a big trip and go the long way through Jackson Hole WY.

sure sounds like you are putting together a sno-cat jamboree in Vail, Colorado, mid January would work great.

Hey, a Snowcat event in Colorado!
That would be a whole lot more do-able for this East-Nebraska boy and his Kristi!
January is not ideal, but I would sure try to work it out!

Well lets do it . There are several hotels in Dillon and Silver throne with parking ,only 20 min from where we catski at Vail pass. We can also do a day at Montezuma (aka little Alaska), wich is right next to world renowned Keystone Ski resort . how about the 13th-15th of January ? Im open to different dates if anyone has suggestions ?

Is there any interest in doing Vail Pass in early to mid-March, or even February, instead of January? Bigger snow pack, longer days? Also maybe we should move this into its own thread.

I agree with red130, a separate thread for this and a date in late February/March would work better for me.
This later time would also allow more time for planning and preparation.
But, since I am not doing those tasks, I defer to the preferences of those that are.
