VW snow buggy passing through - PICS
 
3 Attachment(s)
Out and about this past weekend, I had this truck come next to me and I glanced over, and noticed this bad ass VW snow buggy on board. The yellow one in the front didn't look nearly as cool IMO.

Figured I would snap some pictures, seeing I actually had the camera in the car for once.

I assume its on its way somewhere, not in CT. Maybe Alaska? lol

Really. Where the fuck do you use this shit anyway besides Alaska?

Anywhere you want to ski and there's no lift.

SICK. I was playing around in one of these during the "BIG" snow storm this year on the golf course I work at in Old Saybrook:

(not me...just a google pic)

Tracked vehicles in the snow are a blast.

This may be a cheaper solution for those times when you just can't penny up for a snow buggy:

Looks like it was made back in the 60's by a guy in Sweden. The VW emblem is for the motor it uses, rather than it actually being a VW.

Here's the link I found - Snow-Trac.com

Here's a video on them, but be warned, it has terrible music and I can't understand a fucking thing the guys are saying. But all the other videos were just 20-30 second clips of them driving by.



EDIT: I could totally handle living Ken Blocks life. Snowboard park/mountain in your backyard.....what!?

That thing looks tuff. Whenever I see a snowtrac I think of The Shining.

They're called Snowcat's, and used a bunch here in Canada
