Out and about this past weekend, I had this truck come next to me and I glanced over, and noticed this bad *** 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 **** do you use this **** 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.

 

I pretty much need one of those to complete my life now, thanks Vash.

 

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

my grandfather has an old WWII M29 closed-cabin "weasel"... Its soo bad *** and its armored too! He put a 357 into it for more umph tho. I need to find the pics...

 

Omfg do want. Thanks for sharing, vash. So i wonder what its officially called.. or is it a kit?

 

I want this:

 

That is pretty damn awesome...

I want this!

 

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 ******* 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!?

 

This thread is complete win.

 

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
