Here's the link to Crister's site:

For all practacle purposes he is the ONLY real Snow Trac parts dealer. He bought the franchise about one year after I got into collecting the machines. He doesn't have every part, but he does have every factory drawing and can have parts made. He used to have a fairly complete inventory. He also did the same as I did and had lots of parts made by copying an original, NOS (New Old Stock) part. He was also very reasonably priced. The only remaining dealers when he took over the franchise got all their stuff from him and marked it up as much as 300%. But they are all gone.
The US importer was Twin Pines Equipment out of Boston.
The dealers in Minisota, West Yellowstone, and Seattle all worked thru Twin Pines.
Alaska had a series of 3 dealers that got their stuff directly from Sweden before Krister took over.
There were also 2 dealers in Canada.
All have died off, sold out or retired.
In North America a few stashes of parts exist in Whitehorse Yt, and possibly in Prince Geroge and Kamloops. These were Canadian phone company service headquarters. When Northwest Tell sold out I got all the Snow Trac parts from Whitehorse. But the phone company kept all the Snow master parts.
I bought out the intermediary Alaska dealer in Delta Jct. Alaska. Jerry Mentzel bought out the last dealer in Alaska, Bill Bolunis. A man in Washington bought out me and Jerry, effectively cleaning out the supplies.
A dealer in canada still had some stuff, but I believe he sold out as well.
There is still a possibility the when Rudy Robinson's daughter sold out all the parts from Twin PInes in Millinocket Maine, that someone is sitting on this stash of parts. I had traveled to Millinocket and inventoried their parts collection in 95 and was dying to get my hands on a 4ft by 6ft AKTIVE Banner, but was unable to locate who and where the parts went to after Lisa Robinson liquidated.
It might be worth investigating the Iceland Snow Trac group as there may have been a dealer there. From their Website it sounded like they currently purchased their parts from Sweden direct.
Northwest Tell was a subsidary of CN, Canadian Railways and it is also likely that they had a stash of parts at a central canadian location as well as an eastern one. The head of purchasing for CN said he shelled out 30,000 for the last snow master, # 2315, and it went somewhere in central or eastern Canada.
Twin Pines in Maine had Snow Master # 2311, offered it to me for some too high price, then gave it away for a fire sale price when they sold out. It was a short cab groomer with full groooming attachements, the only one I ever got to see up close and in person. It did not have the side flip down battons, instead it had a rear mounted 10 or 12 foot wide assembly and a blade in front instead of the front roller. NOthing like the Soporo Japan Olympics machines.
The rule of thumb is: if it has a 111, 211, or 311 part number, it's VW. If it has an ST part number, either you make it, copy it or get it from Crister as it is a Snow Trac part.
The only parts that no one had, or reproduced were the Emergency Brake Cables, and the Spedometer Drive cable and Spedometer. The E-Brake cables can easily be frabricated with some copper tubing and a VW Bus E-Brake kit.
I don't think anyone had the special heater boxes either. Westermaskiner, and later Aktive, just took stock VW ones and modified them to fit around the variator towers. I just did the same. It requires a pair of aviation tinsnips, and good braising skills or someone that is good with a small wirefeed welder and patching together thin sheet metal.
