Are you totally sure about that???? The one I saw on a number of the tv
shows was a 2 tracked skid steer thing. The tracks looked like the typical
rubber belted/steel bladed tracks used on the utlity tractors made by either
Thiokol or Bombardier (as opposed the wider ski grooming tractors).

Did they talk about snow-cats? Most people use that phrase generically,
not realizing that Sno-Cat is a trademark of Tucker. Did they use 'Tucker'
by name? I'll have to check it out, I did a search for that last year but
did not find much.
